Extraction process :
Like incense or myrrh, the secretion and exsudation of the resin contained in the tree can be done with the ''tapping '' technique: from January to June, an incision is made on the bark. A white gum comes from these incisions and turns yellow in contact with the air. Harvest is made on palm leaves while the gum is still white and the gum is stored in a warehouse. A single tree gives 5kg of gum per year.
