Agroforestry Design Insight (For Your Projects)
For your Crown Agroforestry / Agarwood estates, a layered system works best:
Upper Canopy (Shade + Long-Term)
- Coconut, Durian, Mango
Mid-Canopy (Primary Crops)
- Avocado, Cacao, Lanzones
Understory / Intercrops
- Banana, Pineapple, Papaya
High-Value Add-ons

Strategic Recommendations
- Diversify income streams: Combine fast-yield (banana, papaya) with long-term (durian, coconut)
- Integrate essential oil crops: (ylang-ylang, kaffir lime) for ANOC synergy
- Export targeting: Focus on durian, mango, avocado for Middle East & Asia
- Climate resilience: Mix drought-tolerant (coconut) with shade-loving (cacao)
