Here’s a comprehensive business plan / feasibility study for Ylang-Ylang (Cananga odorata) cultivation and essential oil production, aligned with your existing agroforestry and SC-CO₂ extraction operations (ANOC / CESI).
1 — Executive Summary
- Business Name: Crown Ylang-Ylang Ventures Inc. (CYYVI)
- Vision: To become a leading sustainable producer of Ylang-Ylang essential oils in the Philippines for luxury perfumery and aromatherapy markets.
- Mission: Establish high-density, high-yield Ylang-Ylang plantations integrated with Nutmeg, Agarwood, or Sandalwood agroforestry systems; produce premium-grade SC-CO₂ oils for global markets.
- Products:
- Fresh Ylang-Ylang flowers (domestic / export)
- SC-CO₂ fractionated essential oil (top, middle, base notes)
- Cosmetic-grade extracts and distillates
- Revenue Streams: Domestic sales, export markets, luxury perfumery supply (ANOC/Ethereal Scent), cosmetics, aromatherapy products
2 — Market Analysis
- Global Demand: High-value essential oil; 100–150 kg oil per ton of fresh flowers; oil prices range USD 1,500–2,500/kg for high-grade fractionated oil.
- Philippine Context: Untapped potential for sustainably grown, traceable Ylang-Ylang oil; high export demand in EU, US, Japan.
- Target Customers: Luxury perfume houses, cosmetics companies, aromatherapy brands, herbal wellness industry.
- Market Trends: Preference for sustainable, organic, traceable essential oils; SC-CO₂ fractionation adds value for perfumery-grade top, middle, base notes.
3 — Technical Plan
3.1 Propagation
- Seedlings: Germination of mature seeds, 50–70% success
- Vegetative: Air layering for uniform chemotypes
- Tissue culture (COPI R&D): Elite clones, fast flowering, high oil content
3.2 Plantation Design
- Spacing: 3–4 m × 3–4 m (~625–1,100 trees/ha)
- Agroforestry Integration: Understory or mid-layer in Nutmeg/Agarwood/Sandalwood plantations
- Irrigation: Drip or sprinkler during dry season
- Fertilization: Balanced NPK + compost; monthly for first year, quarterly afterward
3.3 Flowering & Harvest
- Time to first flowering: 2–3 yrs (air-layered/tissue-cultured), 3–4 yrs (seedlings)
- Harvest: Collect flowers early morning; every 2–3 months
- Yield: 1–2 kg of flowers per tree per harvest
- SC-CO₂ Oil Yield: 1–3% of fresh flowers
3.4 Pest & Disease Management
- Pests: Aphids, mealybugs, scale insects
- Diseases: Leaf spot (Colletotrichum), root rot
- Management: IPM with biological controls, neem oil, proper spacing, sanitation
4 — Production & Revenue Estimates (Per Hectare)
| Product | Yield | Price (PHP/kg) | Annual Revenue (PHP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh flowers | 1,000–2,000 kg/yr | 200–300 | 200k–600k |
| Steam-distilled oil | 10–30 kg/yr | 60,000–120,000 | 600k–3.6 M |
| SC-CO₂ fractionated oil | 10–30 kg/yr | 150,000–250,000 | 1.5–7.5 M |
| Cosmetic-grade extracts | 50–100 kg/yr | 50,000–80,000 | 2.5–8 M |
Notes:
- SC-CO₂ fractionation enhances value, especially for perfumery-grade top/middle/base notes.
- Integrated agroforestry with Nutmeg, Agarwood, or Sandalwood provides medium/long-term cash flow.
5 — Investment & Cost Estimates (Per Hectare)
| Item | Cost (PHP) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Land preparation | 200k–400k | Clearing, leveling, irrigation prep |
| Seedlings / clones | 300k–500k | Air-layered or tissue-cultured |
| Irrigation & infrastructure | 150k–300k | Drip/sprinkler, nursery |
| Fertilizers & soil amendments | 50k–100k/year | NPK + compost |
| Labor | 150k–250k/year | Nursery, planting, pruning, harvest |
| SC-CO₂ extraction setup | 2–5 M | Small-scale pilot / perfumery-grade oil |
Break-even: ~4–5 years (flower harvest + early oil production)
ROI: 25–40% IRR (accelerated if integrated with multi-strata agroforestry)
6 — Operational Highlights
- Harvest Cycle: Every 2–3 months; collect flowers in early morning for highest oil content
- Processing: Immediate SC-CO₂ extraction for premium fractions; steam distillation for bulk oil
- Storage: Fresh flowers stored briefly in cool, ventilated conditions; oils in airtight containers away from light
- Agroforestry Integration: Provides shade, wind protection, biodiversity, and continuous income while long-term crops mature
7 — Marketing & Sales Strategy
- Primary Channels: Perfume brands (ANOC/Ethereal Scent), cosmetics, aromatherapy, export markets
- Value Proposition: High-yield, sustainable, traceable Ylang-Ylang; fractionated SC-CO₂ oil for luxury perfumery
- Branding: “Crown Ylang-Ylang” — emphasizes purity, traceability, and sustainability
8 — Sustainability & Certification
- Organic and eco-friendly cultivation
- Traceable flower-to-oil system
- Potential for Fair Trade, ISO-certified extraction, and export-ready quality
- Compatible with multi-strata agroforestry (Nutmeg, Agarwood, Sandalwood)
This Ylang-Ylang Business Plan ensures:
- Early/medium-term cash flow from flowers and oil
- High-value SC-CO₂ oil for ANOC perfumery integration
- Sustainable agroforestry and biodiversity benefits
I can now create a visual “Ylang-Ylang + Nutmeg + Agarwood + Sandalwood” integrated agroforestry model, showing:
- Planting layout
- Harvest and flower/oil production timeline
- Projected revenues per crop
- SC-CO₂ oil output for perfumery
