Agarbatti is an incense stick manufactured from natural substances and is used to release fragrance and aromatic smoke. The practice of burning incense sticks in religious and social functions is a crucial practice in a religious and culture-based country like India. This has been in practice since early times. Bamboo Stick forms one-third of the heaviness of the agarbatti and is referred to as its base matter.

Indian Agarbatti sector is the largest in the world. It is a well-established cottage business and has seen an extensive growth in the past 2-3 years. Agarbattis use two types of bamboo sticks - square and round. The states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Maharastra and West Bengal are the major Indian states that use Agarbatti. The diameter of the Agarbatti Bamboo Sticks that we have at Folkspice varies from 1.3 mm to 5mm.

Bamboo is a renewable wood meaning the same pocket of land can host generation after generations of the grass while still remaining environment healthy. These are the largest members of the grass family and are one of the fastest growing plants in the world. For comparison, a harvested pine tree gives out around 300 pounds of timbre while the bamboo tree gives out around 5000 pounds, which is atleast 15 times.
