R4B MSU – Academic–Industry Collaboration

Dear Dr. [Last Name] / University Leadership Team,

Warm greetings.

On behalf of Crown Agri Group Inc. and its affiliated agarwood research and plantation development partners, I respectfully extend this invitation to Mindoro State University (MSU) – Alcate Campus, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, for a strategic Academic–Industry Collaboration in the development of a Sustainable Agarwood (Aquilaria spp.) Plantation within the university grounds.

This proposed collaboration aims to establish MSU as a leading regional center for agarwood research, agroforestry innovation, and high-value tree crop commercialization in MIMAROPA. The project envisions integrating scientific research, student training, climate-resilient agroforestry systems, and long-term revenue generation through structured plantation development.

The collaboration framework may include:

• Establishment of a demonstration and research-based agarwood plantation
• Joint research on propagation, organogenesis, inoculation, and resin induction protocols
• Student internships and thesis opportunities in biotechnology, forestry, and agribusiness
• Capacity-building workshops for faculty, students, and local farmer communities
• Development of value-added pathways including essential oil extraction and resin grading
• Revenue-sharing model aligned with university policies and sustainable enterprise principles

Through this initiative, MSU can position itself at the forefront of high-value perfumery crop science while contributing to environmental restoration, rural livelihood development, and climate-smart agriculture in Oriental Mindoro.

We would be honored to present a detailed concept note and technical framework at your convenience.

Thank you for considering this meaningful partnership opportunity. We look forward to the possibility of working together in advancing sustainable agarwood science and enterprise.

With respect and anticipation,

Manuelito R. Putong
