Dear Julia,
Technology from our research is used to produce agarwood in plantations. 
We have set up an internet company to help the farmers in Vietnam sell 
their products and you can find agarwood for sale at: ScentedMountain.com
Agarwood has been used as an incense and in traditional medicine but I 
have never heard of it used in food. What has it been used for in 
cooking? The agarwood chips and agarwood powder sold by Scented 
Mountain is pure "raw" agarwood right out of the tree so it would be as 
"food grade" as you can get.
