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

  • Ylang-ylang, Vanilla, Kaffir lime

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)
