The permits are straight forward and almost free. The challenge is the 15 to 20 years the tree takes to mature.

Hapo kwa Business Daily nimeona kama kuna classes that must be attended before one gets the go-ahead:


To domesticate the tree a farmer is given the greenlight to cultivate it after mastering the propagation techniques.

However, the farmer must acquire a permit from Kefri, Kenya Wildlife Services and Kenya Forest Services.


Are you in a position to expound on that if you know please @Ole masai?

Mtangoja 50 years?

Sandalwood trees can grow to a height of ten metres, are evergreen and bloom throughout the year. They thrive anywhere from fertile valleys to dry mountainsides and derive some of their nourishment from the root systems of neighbouring plants. Slow growing and taking 50 years to reach full maturity, the wood has a lingering scent that can remain for decades, and older trees are considered to have higher oil quality. To make the best use of the wood, the tree is harvested by uprooting it so that even the stump and root, which also possess high levels of sandalwood oil, can be used. The wood is ground so that the essential oil can be obtained through steam distillation.

If this tree is really facing extinction in Kenya, why can’t we go the Indian way and pull all the stops to have initiatives such as giving subsidies and loans to those who could grow the tree?

It's like an authorization to possess, coz otherwise it is illegal.

@Mwalimu-G,
Haiwezi pandwa na mimea ingine, aka agroforestry?
In Central Kenya we are good in such initiatives...
