Abstract
With land resources becoming limited the planter community should seriously consider integrating economically important medicinal and aromatic plants with high-valued agricultural crops through agroforestry system of planting. Tongkat Ali Eurycoma longifolia is currently gaining recognition as an important medicinal plant in Malaysia. Generally the raw material used in the production of health food product of Tongkat Ali is collected from the wild. Continuous extraction of this material from the forests has led to the depletion of this important raw material. To ensure a continuous and sustainable supply some forms of planting are deemed necessary. This paper highlights recent findings on the early establishment of an agroforestry system in which Tongkat Ali was integrated with an extensively grown agricultural crop such as oil palm rubber or coconut.
