What is Jernang?

The scientific name Daemonorops draco was first published by botanist Carl Ludwig von Willdenow in 1838. This species name is a synonym of Calamus draco.

The skin of the fruit is scaly like salak, and from the seeds a dark red resin is produced. Jernang is a high-value non-timber forest product and has long been an important trade commodity from Indonesia's tropical forests.
History of Use
For hundreds of years, jernang has been used in traditional medicine as a wound healing agent, to stop bleeding, and as a health tonic. Traditionally, jernang has been used as a natural dye for fabrics, incense, and in religious rituals. To this day, jernang remains relevant, even being sought after in modern industry as an ingredient in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even as an additive for high-value inks and varnishes.
Benefits of Jernang
Economy: A high-priced export commodity, it provides a source of income for communities living around the forest.
Ecology: The jernang plant grows in tropical rainforests and plays a role in maintaining ecosystem balance.
Health: Jernang resin contains bioactive compounds that act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and natural antiseptics.
Industry: Used as a dye, raw material for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even in traditional arts.
Potential & Challenges
Global demand for jernang continues to rise, opening up significant opportunities for the development of nature-based products. However, jernang faces serious challenges such as overharvesting in the wild and habitat loss due to deforestation. Therefore, sustainable jernang cultivation is key to ensuring continued economic benefits without compromising the preservation of tropical forests and the well-being of local communities.
