How Sandalwood Farming Pays Over Time
Sandalwood is a long-cycle crop. Its value comes at harvest, many years after planting, which is why managed sandalwood farms usually pair it with crops that earn sooner.
Two kinds of income
- Long term: white sandalwood, harvested at maturity under forest department procedures
- Regular: seasonal fruits and vegetables grown between the trees
How Arogya Vana shares it
- 70% of sandalwood profit goes to the plot owner
- 100% of fruit and vegetable income goes to the owner
- All subject to the terms in your agreement
What affects returns
- Survival and growth of the trees, which depends on care, water and protection
- Market price of sandalwood at harvest
- Land value growth in the area
We don't quote per-tree or per-acre profit figures, because they depend on all of the above. Returns are not guaranteed.
