      abstract = {This experiment was conducted to bring in a suitable and  economic agarwood oil extraction method for Agar  tree
(Aquilaria agollocha) growers in Bangladesh. Agarwood  was collected from Fotikchori upazila of Chittagong  district
and a prototype of hydro-distillation extraction  chamber was developed at the lab of Department of Farm  Power and
Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University,  Mymensingh, Bangladesh during January to March 2013. Using  the
prototype, 7 ml of agarwood oil was extracted from 15  kg matured agarwood. It was found from the calculation  that
the developed system can bring yearly benefit of Tk.  7,78,389 with benefit-cost ratio as 2.33. This development  was,
therefore, proven very beneficial for Bangladeshi agar  tree growers.},
