Why does the factory supply from Oud Treasure?

The economics of the raw material, honestly

This is the kilo price table for the eleven varieties as they are declared on this very page, not vague negotiation prices: from 275 SAR for the Black Kalimantan to 1,155 SAR for the Vietnamese Tiger, and the price of five kilograms is the kilo price multiplied by five exactly, and above ten kilograms by a custom price offer.

And the logic of choosing the raw by your final product is simple and strict: the oil wants a rich natural resin, so saving on distillation raw is a loss in the tola; the ma'moul bukhoor wants a consistent economical base on which the blend is built, then a small luxury touch that makes the marketing difference; and the perfumers and powders want a clean-grade break ground with stability.

And an honest consideration you must know before buying from any supplier: we do not sell distillation waste or sorting scraps under the name of industrial raw. The raw on this page is itself what the end consumer buys from our other pages, at the same declared grades and prices, and this full transparency is what makes the laboratory sample meaningful: what you inspect is what reaches you.

The grades through the factory's eye: each raw and what it produces

Quality and grading: the factory supply protocol

Three written steps, not verbal promises: first a standardized laboratory sample before every contract, a hundred grams of the batch and grade concerned inspected in your lab at your leisure. Second fixing the grade in the contract in text, so the supply is measured on the criterion of your reference sample, not on anyone's memory. Third a pre-shipment inspection with a report accompanying every batch, so you know what crosses the sea to you before it sails.

As for the consistency of the batches, it is not achieved by intentions but by structure: our stock is sorted and graded in advance at the preparation centers in Malaysia the moment it arrives from the source, on the same declared criterion batch after batch. Your order is drawn from a ready, standardized grade, not gathered for you on request from scattered remnants, and this is the essential difference between a factory supplier and an occasion supplier. And we distinguished for you the natural from the enhanced on independent pages with full frankness, because the distillation line and the blend cannot bear the confusion between them.

The supply chain through the procurement manager's eye

The most dangerous thing in the oud raw file is not the price but the interruption: a supplier who relies on shifting middlemen has his rope cut the day you need him. Our source is secured by direct relations with the oud harvesters in Indonesia and its neighborhood, with no intermediary links to be cut or to swap the goods on the road, and the advance sorting and grading at the preparation centers in Malaysia guarantees the repetition your line needs, and the export from Malaysia leaves with its complete documents of invoice, origin statement, and inspection report. Learn about the system in about us, about the document details on the export page, and about the full wholesale mechanism in the wholesale guide.

The educational guide: the raw's calculations in your factory

An introduction to distillation yield

The first thing the new distiller asks: how many tolas from a kilo of wood? And the only honest answer: it depends, and the ranges circulating in the craft are very wide. The yield moves by the raw's richness in resin first and before anything, then by the distillation method, the soaking duration, the temperature, and the distiller's experience, so much so that the same raw gives varying yields between distillers. What we can say with confidence is only two things: the resin-rich natural always gives more than the poor treated, and the oil produced from different grades differs in its character, not only its quantity. Therefore we do not promise you a yield, and instead of the promise we give you a laboratory sample you distill yourself and see your numbers in your own way, for it is the only number that binds you.

Calculating the raw's cost in your final product

An illustrative example with this page's numbers, for a ma'moul with an oud ratio between 20 and 30 percent: a kilo of final ma'moul at a 25 percent ratio needs 250 grams of raw. With the Black Kalimantan the oud share's cost is about 69 SAR in the final kilo, with the Black Vietnamese about 143 SAR, and with the Merauke about 172 SAR. Add over it the blend's other components, the operation, and the packaging, and you will find that the choice of the raw's grade moves your final product's cost more than any other item, and that a luxury touch at a 5 percent ratio of the Blue, for example, adds only about 40 SAR on the final kilo and lifts its marketing position by a full grade. These are illustrative numbers on which you build your equation, and your ratios are your blend's secret.

Managing the raw's inventory in the factory

The aromatic raw is stored like the final product, not like an inert material: tightly sealed containers, away from direct sun, high humidity, and temperature fluctuation, and rotation on the oldest-first principle. And keep from every batch a small isolated reference sample against which you compare the subsequent batches, for it is the memory of your procurement and the memory of your product's quality together. As for the inventory size, it is governed by your contract's scheduling: the scheduled shipments exist precisely so that you do not store a year's consumption and freeze your liquidity in it.

When do you upgrade your raw's grade?

Market signals precede the procurement decision: when your product's customers ask about a more luxurious version and accept its price, and when your current product settles and becomes the guaranteed base, and when your margin narrows in the crowded popular market while the higher grade's shelf is less crowded and fuller in margin. The smart upgrade does not overturn the blend: it starts with a touch of the higher grade in your existing product, or with a luxury sub-product beside the basic one, and measures the market's acceptance with the least possible raw risk.

Frequently asked questions for factory supply

What is the minimum quantity to open an industrial supply contract?

No artificial minimum: you buy a single kilo at the price declared on this page directly for your production test, and five kilograms likewise. As for the scheduled supply contract with its special terms, it starts practically from ten kilograms and above through the quotation request page, because below that there is no economic sense to scheduling shipments, and repeated direct purchasing suffices you.

Do you fix the price in long contracts?

We answer honestly: oud raw is a natural commodity whose source prices move, so we do not sign an absolute freeze for a whole year and then break it. What we do in the price offer is fix the price for the agreed contract term and its scheduled quantities, with a clear review clause if the source moves exceptionally, so you know your position on paper, not by surprise.

Do you provide origin certificates and export documents?

Yes: every industrial shipment is exported with an official invoice in your establishment's name, documentation of type, grade, and weight, and an origin statement required for the regular import procedures in your country, and the preparation and shipping from Malaysia with its usual documents. The documentation details and requirements are on the export page, and what concerns a specific regulatory body in your country we arrange with you in the price offer.

What is meant by the standardized laboratory sample?

A hundred-gram pack of the same batch and grade on which your contract will be built, not a selected courtesy sample: you enter it into your lab or trial line and measure on it what matters to you of resin, scent, and burning or distillation behavior, then it is fixed in the contract that the supply is on the criterion of this very reference sample.

How do you guarantee grade consistency between batches?

By advance sorting, not sorting on request: the stock is inspected and graded at the preparation centers in Malaysia the moment it arrives on the same declared criterion, so your order is drawn from a ready, standardized grade, not gathered for you in haste. Add to it the fixing of the grade in the contract and the pre-shipment inspection, and you will find the June batch on the criterion of the January batch.

Is the raw available ground?

Ready oud powder is coming soon as an independent collection. Currently we supply the raw as breaks and slices in sizes that ease their grinding in your line, and most bukhoor factories prefer internal grinding anyway to set the grain fineness on their blend. If grinding is a condition for you, mention it in the price offer request so we arrange what is possible.

What is the expected distillation yield from a kilo?

We do not promise you a number, and any supplier who promises you an exact number, ask him how he guaranteed a wild tree's resin: the yield varies very widely by the resin richness, the distillation method, the soaking duration, and the distiller's experience, and the ranges circulating in the craft are wide to begin with. The only fixed rule: the resin-richer natural raw gives more, and this is why we direct the distillers to the natural and the higher grades, and the laboratory sample is your actual judge.

I want a raw for an economical ma'moul, what is the most suitable?

The Black Kalimantan at 275 SAR the kilo is the economical blend's base without rival, and with it the Black Vietnamese and Sumatran at 573.10 SAR when you want to raise the smoky character. And many factories add a small ratio of a higher grade like the Merauke or the Blue as a touch that distinguishes their product from a competitor built on the base alone.

Can the shipments be scheduled in installments?

Yes, and this is the essence of the industrial supply contract: an agreed total quantity shipped in monthly or quarterly installments on your production schedule, so you do not freeze your liquidity in a year's inventory nor risk a raw interruption. The scheduling and its terms are built in the price offer on your actual consumption.

Is there deferred payment for factories?

Direct purchase from the store is by the usual electronic payment. As for the payment terms in scheduled supply contracts, they are discussed case by case through contact and the price offer, according to the contract's size and the regularity of dealing, and we do not promise here an arrangement while we do not yet know your file: build a regular dealing record and you will find the flexibility grows with it.

What if a batch arrives violating the agreed criterion?

The contract protects you: the grade is fixed on a reference sample, and every shipment is inspected before its departure with a report, so the possibility of a violation is narrow to begin with. And if you see in a batch what violates the reference, document your observation with photos and the sample and contact us immediately, and we treat it with you directly: a compensation or a replacement according to the case, for the continuity of your contract is more precious to us than a batch's price.

How is the raw shipped in industrial quantities?

Documented international shipping with a tracking number from the preparation centers in Malaysia, with packaging that protects the aromatic raw from moisture and compression over the long distances, and the cost is by the actual weight and improves relatively as the batch grows. The large scheduled shipments have their channels and details arranged within the price offer.

How do we store the raw in the factory?

Treat it as an aromatic product, not an inert raw material: tightly sealed containers away from direct sun, high humidity, and fluctuating heat, and rotate the inventory on the oldest-first principle. Well-stored raw holds its character for long months, and the neglected loses of its touch before it enters your blend, so its loss is the loss of your final product.

Do you grant supply exclusivity for a product or a region?

Exclusivity is a mutual commitment, not a courtesy signature: it needs a regular contract volume that justifies it from both sides. For the factory that proves the regularity of its scheduled contracts, a special-arrangements file can be opened through the contact page and is studied case by case, but on the first dealing the fair thing is to say no exclusivity yet.
