How to Buy Agarwood Chips Wholesale from China: A Complete Guide for Middle East Buyers

Agarwood chips — known as Bakhoor in the Middle East — have been treasured for centuries for their rich, complex fragrance. As demand grows across the GCC region, more buyers are sourcing directly from Chinese manufacturers to get factory-direct pricing and flexible customization. This guide covers everything a wholesale buyer needs to know when sourcing agarwood chips from China. ## What Are Agarwood Chips (Bakhoor)? Agarwood chips are small pieces of Aquilaria wood that have been naturally infected with a resin-producing mold. When heated over charcoal or electric burners, they release a deep, warm, and complex fragrance unlike any synthetic substitute. Different grades exist based on resin content: - Grade A: Over 15% resin content — premium, darker color, stronger scent - Grade B: 8–15% resin — mid-range, popular for everyday Bakhoor - Grade C: Plantation grade — lighter scent, most affordable ## Why Source Agarwood Chips from China? China's Guangzhou and Hainan regions are home to the largest Aquilaria sinensis plantations in the world. Key advantages of sourcing from China include: - **Factory-direct pricing** — skip middlemen and distributors - **Multiple grades** — from affordable plantation to premium wild-resin chips - **Flexible MOQ** — many suppliers accept 100g samples - **Custom packaging** — gift boxes, private label, OEM branding available - **ISO certification** — quality standards recognized globally ## What to Look for in a China Agarwood Supplier Before placing a wholesale order, verify the following: 1. **Species certification** — ensure it is Aquilaria sinensis, not a substitute wood 2. **Resin content testing** — request a Certificate of Analysis (COA) 3. **CITES compliance** — agarwood is a protected species; your supplier must have legal export documentation 4. **Sample availability** — any serious supplier will offer sample kits before bulk orders 5. **Minimum order quantity (MOQ)** — good suppliers are flexible on MOQ for first orders ## Longsheng Agarwood — China's Farm-Direct Supplier Guangzhou Longsheng Agarwood Farmers' Professional Cooperative has been cultivating and processing agarwood since 2009.
