Since Santalum spicatum logs were already being exported to China (80% of which are powdered for incense sticks [Denham 1998]), and Chinese demand for wood was said to be increasing 50% year on year (Henschke 2000), a lucrative opening would be to produce a highly prized essential oil in addition to shipping timber.
An introduction to Santalum spicatum growing for farmers is available (Denham 1998), which also states that the current export quantity of Sandalwood from W. Australia in 1998 was 2200 tons per year (in apparent contrast to the widely quoted 2000 tons CALM imposed limit).
Additionally, manual seed dispersal systems for Santalum spicatum have had to be devised in some areas, since the near extinction of the small marsupial known as the woylie (by foxes and feral cats) has caused severe reduction in numbers of the trees.
