🍂 Gambier – Nature’s Ancient Extract, Reimagined for Modern Use
From the Forests of Sumatra to the World’s Industries – Pure, Potent, and Packed with Tradition
Step into the world of Indonesian Gambier—a time-honored botanical extract with deep roots in tradition and a wide reach across industries. Sourced from the Uncaria gambir plant native to the lush rainforests of Sumatra and West Kalimantan, gambier is a natural resin prized for its high tannin content, unique astringent properties, and diverse applications in tanning, dyeing, medicine, and beyond.
At PT. Asian Agro Commodities, we proudly offer premium-grade Indonesian Gambier, ethically harvested and carefully processed to maintain its natural potency, purity, and texture. With its distinctive brownish, clay-like form, gambier is not just a product—it's a symbol of Indonesia's herbal legacy, revered by generations and now rediscovered by industries around the globe.
🌿 Why Indonesian Gambier Stands Out
✅ Naturally Extracted & Sun-Dried
Our gambier is produced using traditional, chemical-free extraction, followed by careful sun-drying to preserve its color, strength, and integrity.
✅ Rich in Tannins (Up to 40–60%)
Perfect for use in leather tanning, natural dyeing, and traditional medicine, thanks to its high catechin and astringent compound content.
✅ Multipurpose Marvel
From ayurvedic preparations to textile processing, chewing mixtures (paan) to organic skincare, gambier is a truly versatile botanical treasure.
✅ Sustainably Sourced from Local Farmers
We work hand-in-hand with rural communities and cooperatives, ensuring both ethical trade and environmental care in every step of the supply chain.
