(মাননীয় প্রধানমন্ত্রী কর্তৃক নির্দেশিত উন্নয়ন প্রকল্প)
Develop a complete, standardised whole-tree inoculation protocol achieving high resin induction rates in Aquilaria malaccensis and allied species.
Improve resin quality to meet or exceed international market benchmarks, increasing the economic value per tree for farmers.
Train at least 2,000 farmers, forest officers, and extension workers in the improved inoculation technique and safe harvesting practices.
Develop national guidelines, quality standards, and regulatory frameworks to support sustainable agarwood industry growth.
Reduce harvesting pressure on natural forests by making cultivated-tree inoculation commercially viable nationwide.
Contribute to rural livelihoods and foreign exchange earnings through increased export-quality agarwood production.
Official launch, team formation, baseline survey of existing Aquilaria populations, and laboratory establishment.
Screening of fungal strains and chemical elicitors; development and refinement of candidate inoculant formulations under lab conditions.
Pilot inoculation trials on plantation trees in Sylhet and Chittagong Hill Tracts; data collection on resin induction and tree health.
Expanding trials to Cox's Bazar, Mymensingh, and Tangail; protocol refinement based on Phase 1 results; first farmer demonstration plots.
National training workshops; publication of inoculation manuals; engagement with private sector for commercial scaling.
Final evaluation, national policy recommendations, quality standard gazette notification, and project handover to permanent BFRI programme.
