Somali's have long harvested the frankincense trees in Oman but new immigration legislation passed in Oman has led to the deportation of most undocumented farm workers; the harvesters of frankincense trees. The war in Somalia is playing a role as well. It's also reported that many of the trees have been over-harvested and not properly rested. One must ravel further into the desert for quality resins now. Economic growth and its expansion of towns, homes and businesses are also encroaching upon trees. The long-term survival of the international frankincense trade of Oman resins is unknown at this point in time. We are doing our best to obtain resins from small, local vendors, but availability is scarce, prices absurd, and reliability an unknown. If you seek steady supply of high quality frankincense with those wonderful light and airy citrusy top notes, then we recommend the frankincense resins from Aden, which is the trading capital of Oman's neighboring country, Yemen. We're certain you'll find them to be of very high quality. The frankincense resins and oils we obtain from Somalia, are very fresh. You may want to investigate them as well. Enjoy! |
