Connecting Excellence, Preserving Heritage, Elevating Value

The Vietnam Agarwood Association (VAWA) was established on January 11, 2010, under Decision No. 23/QD-BNV of the Ministry of Home Affairs. It is a voluntary, non-profit professional social organization operating under the Association Charter and Vietnamese law.

The Association's mission is to connect the community of businesses, artisans, and researchers both domestically and internationally; preserve precious Aquilaria genetic resources and traditional knowledge; and elevate the Vietnamese Agarwood brand in the international arena.

“Vietnamese Agarwood — not just a material, but a thousand-year cultural heritage that needs to be preserved and shared.”
