SANDAL WOOD OIL FOR EXPORTING

As a part of this exercise, three sandalwood government depots were established at Tirupattur, Salem and Sathyamangalam. The departmentally extracted sandalwood and also offence related seized / confiscated sandalwood is processed, cleaned, stored and sold at regular intervals.

A sandalwood tree after extraction will be cleaned from its bark and other waste portions, and the remaining useful portion is sorted and classified into about 19 classifications right from sawdust category to big billets category. A sandalwood oil extraction factory was also established at Thekkupattu near Tirupattur for departmental production of sandalwood oil.
