Agarwood for Bakhoor & Ma'moul Manufacturers
Agarwood for Bakhoor & Ma'moul Manufacturers
A trusted, consistent raw material for your production line — chips, grades, and powder directly from the Indonesian source. We supply bakhoor, dukhoon, and ma'moul factories in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf with a material of known origin and grade.
When you buy oud for your factory, you are not looking for a rare piece to be displayed in a window, but for a consistent raw material that enters your production line steadily: a known grade, a form suitable for your recipe, a quantity you can rely on, and a predictable cost. These are entirely different priorities from those of the collector or the store that sells the wood as it is. At Oud Treasure we supply bakhoor, dukhoon, and ma'moul factories with raw oud wood directly from the Indonesian archipelago, whose origin and grading we know. This page explains which raw material suits manufacturing, how to choose the grade according to your product, and how to secure a consistent supply for your production.
The manufacturer needs a consistent raw material, not a rare piece
Among oud buyers there are fundamental differences in priorities. The collector chases rarity and the unique piece, and the store looks for lines that are displayed and sold as they are. But you — as a manufacturer — have a different battle: that your product comes out at the same quality in every batch, that the raw material cost stays under control, and that the raw material is available when your production line needs it. Rarity here is not an advantage but a source of worry, because it means difficulty of repetition.
This is why our way of dealing with the manufacturer differs. We do not offer you unique pieces that are hard to repeat, but speak the language of production: which grade suits which product, which form is easier to process, how we maintain clarity of origin and grade across batches, and how we plan for a repeated supply. Your four priorities — consistency, volume, predictable cost, and the right grade for the recipe — are the axis of everything we provide you.
We use the word "oud harvester," not "hunter," because harvesting oud is a craft founded on knowledge of the tree, the resin, and the sorting. And respect for this craft is part of our commitment to the quality of the material we supply to your factory.
This page is directed to the producer who transforms the wood into bakhoor, dukhoon, or ma'moul. If you are looking for a raw material for wholesale in general or a different business model, the Indonesian oud wholesale page gives you the broader picture, while this page focuses on the manufacturing need specifically.
What raw material is suitable for manufacturing?
The manufacturing raw material is not a single line, but an assortment you choose from according to your product and your production line. Here are the four axes on which most manufacturers build their order:
The most requested form in manufacturing, suitable for direct burning and easy to handle in production. Browse the oud chips collection for the available lines.
Powder is an essential line in dukhoon and ma'moul. The oud powder collection is listed with us and is in the preparation phase currently; in the meantime we discuss your need within the quote.
For a high-volume production line the more abundant grades suit you: commercial grade and daily grade, at a reasonable raw material cost and sufficient consistency.
A dedicated line for all factory needs: manufacturing oud and incense-making oud gather the lines suitable for production.
Note that we distinguish between the collections: manufacturing oud and incense-making oud display the lines ready for direct purchase, while this page is your guide as a manufacturer in choosing among them and linking them to your product. The collections are the shelf, and this page is the advisor.
Choosing the grade by product
The most important decision controlling the cost of your raw material and the character of your product is the choice of grade. We use a declared ladder of five grades — from the daily grade, the commercial, the excellent, the luxury, up to the collectors' grade — built on resin density, scent persistence, and sorting quality, not on marketing labels. To understand the logic of grading, see our article on the oud grade ladder.
The general logic in choosing the grade for manufacturing is simple: the wider the quantity of the product and the more price-sensitive, the more the scale tips toward the economical grades; and the more you target a refined product of smaller quantity, the higher you climb the ladder. The following table is a general guide, not a recipe, and the final decision remains with your recipe and your market:
| Product type | Generally suggested grade | Note |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume bakhoor and dukhoon | Daily and commercial grade | Economical grades that provide sufficient scent consistency when burned at a reasonable raw material cost suited to high-volume production. |
| Ma'moul and medium products | Commercial and excellent grade | Middle grades that balance the depth of scent and the raw material cost, suiting a product targeting a segment seeking higher quality without maximal rarity. |
| Refined limited products | Excellent and luxury grade | Grades of higher density and persistence for a luxury product in smaller quantities; the raw material cost rises in exchange for a deeper aromatic presence. |
| A powder line for dukhoon | According to the final product | The powder grade is chosen according to the product's position in your market; powder is becoming available as an independent line and currently through chips and pieces. |
What is in the table above is a general direction linking the product type to the grade level, not a recipe or a mixing ratio. We do not offer mixing ratios or production rates; these are at the core of your expertise; our role is to supply the correct raw material and clarify where each grade level falls.
Quantities and consistency
For the manufacturer, consistency between batches is not a luxury but a condition for the stability of the final product. When you build a recipe on a certain grade and origin, any undeclared change in the raw material reflects directly on your product and on your customers' trust. We deal with this seriously: we commit to clarity of origin and grade for each batch, adhere to the same grading standard, and discuss any expected change before shipping. With honesty that oud is a natural material, we do not claim absolute identity between one batch and another.
In terms of quantities, the store offers tiers that help you evaluate and place a moderate order: from the sample, to the kilogram, to the five-kilogram level. As for full wholesale (ten kilograms and above), it is priced individually because it depends on the details of your order in grade, form, and origin. For the realistic price ranges see the wholesale prices page, and to order a production quantity request a quote with your specifications.
Fixing the origin and grade, adhering to the same grading standard, and discussing any change before shipping — the basis of your recipe's stability.
From the sample to five kilograms within the store, and full wholesale (ten kilograms and above) with individual pricing according to your order.
For the manufacturer who plans regular reliance, we coordinate in advance on the origin, grade, and quantity through periodic quotes.
The economics of the raw material in manufacturing
We speak candidly about cost because it is the essence of your decision. The cost of oud is often the largest item in the cost of a bakhoor or ma'moul product, so the choice of grade is the biggest lever you control over your margin. Climbing a grade on the ladder may raise the raw material cost noticeably, and descending a grade may save a lot — and the right decision depends on where you want your product to stand in the market.
But we will not give you numbers that do not hold true for your case. The proportion of the oud cost in your final product varies greatly according to your recipe, the other ingredients, the grade of the raw material, and the pricing of your product in your market. This is why we do not offer guaranteed proportions, profits, or production rates; any number of this kind would be a guess that misleads you. What we offer is a raw material of known cost per grade, on which you build your own calculations.
The economics of your product depend on your recipe and your market alone. We clarify the cost of each grade of the raw material transparently, but we do not promise a profit margin, a mixing ratio, or a production rate — this is your decision as a manufacturer.
To go deeper into the lines suitable for incense making specifically, the incense-making oud collection displays what we provide for this purpose, and you can build on it your estimate of the raw material cost in your production line.
Documentation and continuous supply
The manufacturer who relies on an imported raw material needs two things: a reasonable continuity of supply, and sound documentation of their shipments. We work directly with the oud harvesters and producers in the archipelago, and this relationship is the basis of our ability to supply repeatedly. Nevertheless we remain honest: oud is a natural material whose availability is affected by the season and the origin, and we do not promise infinite availability of any particular line — rather we coordinate in advance with the manufacturer who plans regular reliance.
As for documentation, oud is a material subject to the CITES convention, which regulates — does not prohibit — its trade across borders. We commit to documenting the source and type, and we recognize that the precise procedures vary from one country to another and from one shipment to another, so we discuss them within the details of each order. To understand the import mechanism see the import oud from Indonesia page, for the international framework see our guide on the CITES convention, and for our method as a supplier see the Indonesian supplier page.
Start with a production sample
The smartest thing a manufacturer does before committing to a large quantity is to test the raw material in their actual production. It is not enough to smell the sample; the more important thing is to put it into your production line and evaluate how it behaves in your final product. This is why we place the production sample at the heart of our method with factories, a step that protects your recipe and your budget before expanding:
Specify the grade and form you intend to use in production, and request a sample of them through the samples program or the sample kits.
Put the sample into your recipe and production line, and evaluate the scent, persistence, and behavior in the final product — not just smelling it on its own.
After you confirm the suitability of the raw material, fix the origin, grade, and form, and request a quote for the production quantity on a basis of experience, not guesswork.
Why Oud Treasure for your factory
Choosing the raw material supplier is a long-lasting decision for the manufacturer, because every change in the source means a recalibration of your recipe. Below is what we offer to whoever builds their production on our raw material:
We deal directly with the oud harvesters and producers in the archipelago, which shortens the chain of intermediaries and lowers the raw material cost — a decisive factor in the margin of any manufactured product.
We declare where the raw material came from and its grade for each batch, so you build your recipe on the known rather than the unknown, and we do not sell the enhanced as natural.
We adhere to the same grading ladder across batches, which the manufacturer needs to maintain the stability of their final product.
From the sample to full wholesale, with advance coordination for repeated supply and documented shipping to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.

Frequently asked questions for bakhoor and ma'moul factories
We gathered here the most common questions manufacturers ask before adopting a raw material supplier. Where the answer depends on the details of your production, we direct you to a quote rather than a general number that may mislead:
There is no single raw material that suits every product; the most suitable depends on what you produce and your market segment. In practice many manufacturers rely on chips and small pieces for direct burning, and on ground oud for dukhoon and ma'moul, choosing the grade according to the product's position in the market. The best start is to specify your product in a quotation request so we suggest the suitable raw material rather than a general recommendation.
In general, the economical grades (daily and commercial) suit high-volume bakhoor and dukhoon where the raw material cost is decisive, while the middle and higher grades suit refined products of smaller quantity. These are general guidelines, not recipes; the final decision comes down to your recipe and your market. See our article on the oud grade ladder to understand the standard.
Oud powder is listed with us as an independent line, but it is in the preparation phase currently and has not been fully launched yet. In the meantime we provide the chips and small pieces that many manufacturers rely on, and we discuss your need for powder within the quotation request. We prefer honesty over a promise of stock that is not ready.
Yes, chips and small pieces are among the most requested forms by manufacturers, and we provide them within the manufacturing assortment. The available quantities differ according to the grade and origin, so we determine what relates to your order through a quote.
The minimum depends on the form, grade, and origin, and the available quantities differ from one line to another. The store offers tiers starting from the sample, then a kilogram and five kilograms, while full wholesale (ten kilograms and above) is priced individually according to your order. Specify your need in the quote so we answer you precisely.
Complete consistency is difficult in a natural material like oud, and we do not claim absolute identity between one batch and another. What we commit to is clarity of origin and grade for each batch, adherence to the same grading standard, and discussing any expected change before shipping. For the manufacturer who builds a fixed recipe, we recommend fixing the origin and grade and requesting a production sample with each new batch.
We commit to transparency of source, type, and grade, and we treat the regulation of the oud trade seriously. Oud is a material subject to the CITES convention, which regulates — does not prohibit — its trade across borders, and the details of the procedures vary from one country to another and from one shipment to another. We discuss them within each order, and our CITES guide explains the international framework, while you will find the import details on the import oud from Indonesia page.
Yes, and this is what we recommend for every manufacturer. Request a sample of the grade and form you intend to use, and test them in your actual production before committing to a large quantity. This step protects your recipe and your budget. See the samples program and the sample kits.
There is no uniform price; the price is determined by the intersection of origin, grade, form, and quantity. The rule is that larger quantities lower the cost per kilogram, and that higher grades are more expensive. See the wholesale prices page for the realistic ranges, then request a quote with your production specifications for a precise number.
This proportion varies greatly according to your recipe, the grade of the raw material, the other ingredients, and the pricing of your product in the market, and we cannot give you a number that holds true for your case. What we say honestly: the choice of grade is the largest factor you control in the raw material cost, so it deserves study before fixing the recipe. We do not offer guaranteed proportions or profits.
No. We supply the raw material and explain which grade suits which product type in general, but we do not offer recipes, mixing ratios, or production rates; these are at the core of your expertise as a maker and differ from one factory to another. Our role is to provide you with a material of known source and grade on which you build your recipe.
Indonesian oud is among the most present origins in Gulf taste, and its wide aromatic spectrum lets the manufacturer choose what suits their product, from the calmer types to the deeper and more present ones. The variety of the archipelago's origins gives you flexibility in building a product line that covers different segments.
Yes. Many manufacturers distribute their order across grades and forms to cover different production lines — chips for one line, and powder or a higher grade for another. Specify what you want in the quote and we will prepare an offer that combines them.
We work directly with the oud harvesters and producers in the archipelago, and this relationship is the basis of our ability to supply repeatedly. Nevertheless, oud is a natural material whose availability is affected by the season and the origin, and we do not promise infinite availability of any particular line. For the manufacturer who plans regular reliance, we recommend advance coordination on the origin, grade, and quantity through a periodic quote.
Buying directly from Indonesia shortens the chain of intermediaries, which is reflected in the raw material cost — a decisive factor in the margin of any manufactured product — and in the clarity of source and grade that you need for the stability of your recipe. See the Indonesian supplier page and the exporter page to understand our method.
A consistent raw material of known grade for your production line, directly from the Indonesian archipelago. Tell us your product and your required grade and we will prepare a clear offer for you — or start with a production sample you test in your factory.
