THE AUSTRALIAN SANDALWOOD NETWORK
Supporting private sandalwood growers for over 20 years.
The ASN has grown from being a Western Australian only initiative to having members from all over the country.
Due to increasing interest by Wheatbelt landowners in the developing sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) plantation industry and a need for grower coordination and increased access to information on all aspects of this industry, a sandalwood grower group was formed in 2003, known as the Avon Sandalwood Network Inc.
In January 2007, the association’s name was changed from the Avon Sandalwood Network to the Australian Sandalwood Network to extend our association membership base and provide strong industry development and grower representation for the exciting emerging industry.
About Sandalwood
Australian Sandalwood is the most planted native commercial tree crop in the WA Wheatbelt, and over 20,000 hectares of plantations will have been established over the last 20 years. Plantation growth is being driven by private landowners, broadacre farmers, and government programs.
Sandalwood: The Golden Harvest discusses how sandalwood can be used to address land degradation issues and the various markets for the sandalwood product. Farmers talk about how they have used sandalwood to add diversity to their farms in areas that are not productive for annual crops.
