Sandalya Agro Farms is in the business of cultivating the Sandalwood saplings for the past five years to make it commercially available for individuals and farmers to procure and raise the trees in their backyard or in their farm lands. We are proud to have completed more than 500 acres of of sandalwood contract farming for private entrepreneurs and farmers. We are one of a kind nursery dealing exclusively with sandalwood plants.

Sandalwood, generic name being Santalum album, is the Indian Sandalwood also called as Chandan in many regions of India. It is a tropical tree native to south india and southeast Asia. The foremost and unique feature of this tree is its fragrance and other being its medicinal values. Because of the fragrance the wood from the tree is used in almost all the cultural or traditional events across the country irrespective of religion though It is very prominently used in the Hindu and Buddhist cultures.

Prior to 2001 the sandalwood tree was under the control of the forest department and private individuals were not allowed to grow these trees. Though India was the largest producer of sandalwood for the past many decades, the demand had grown substantially but the supply was inadequate to cope with the demand. This led to the relaxation of the rules to make common people grow sandalwood in their back years and farms. This lead a considerable increase in supply. Presently there is a restriction on cutting the trees on your own and it has to be done by the forest department only. But this rule may be relaxed in future and considerations are in place with the Government.
