epaselect epa12053268 A researcher from the Atsiri Research Center at Syiah Kuala University refine patchouli oil for use as the main ingredient in derivative products at Syiah Kuala University in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, 09 April 2025 (issued 25 April 2025). Patchouli, locally known as nilam, is an aromatic plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae) and a key commodity in Aceh Jaya, where fertile land supports its cultivation. The oil is widely used in perfumes, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and traditional medicine, and is valued for its fixative properties. It is also used to treat fungal infections, rheumatism, and digestive issues, and serves as a natural moth repellent. Aceh has a long history of patchouli cultivation. The name nilam is believed to come from the Dutch colonial-era company Netherlands Indische Land Acheh Maatschappij, which once managed patchouli trade and exports. Although production declined in the past due to price fluctuations and unstable demand, government and institutional efforts have helped revive the sector in recent years. According to the Aceh Agriculture and Plantation Service, annual production averages 225 tons. Seventeen districts in the province are suitable for patchouli cultivation, with six hosting Small and Medium Industry Centers (SIKM). In Aceh Jaya alone, 158 hectares of land produce 28 tons of patchouli oil annually, involving 383 farmers. With support from universities, the region is now exploring value-added products like perfumes to move beyond raw material exports. EPA/HOTLI SIMANJUNTAK ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
