• The Western Australian Forest Department’s pioneering Indian sandalwood research work commenced in the early 1980s. This early work has given rise to the world’s largest plantation sandalwood supply companies which are based in Western Australia. The Australian private sector continues to invest and become more entrenched in the commercial growing of Indian sandalwood, simultaneously the Western Australian government has steadily decreased its research focus and efforts. The last of the government research plantations was established in the Ord Valley, Kununurra, in 2004, and the last government research plantation trees were harvested in 2019 and sold into the commercial market.
