Abstract
Agarwood is a resinous heartwood of various species of Thymelaeaceae primarily Aquilaria and Gyrinops with aromatic, cultural and medicinal uses. Owing to overexploitation in the wild the trees have become endangered, and cultivation has started all over the natural range and even outside under various agroforestry systems. The present review provides an overview of all the agroforestry systems based on agarwood worldwide and lists the species used in interplanting with agarwood. It also suggests means of raising successful plantations and the associated risks.
