Datuk Dr Abdul Rashid Ab Malik, deputy director-general of Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), said the sustainable supply of Tongkat Ali is a huge concern that needs immediate attention.
He added: 'The Tongkat Ali plant takes five to seven years to mature. The sustainable supply of Tongkat Ali is about 100 tonnes a year from the government and the private sector.
'The government has 167ha of this plant and the private sector about 29ha, mainly in Kelantan, Pahang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan.'
'The problem is that our future needs will be larger and we need bigger players to sustain the current demand.'
This should be an immediate concern to Malaysian men as Tongkat Ali has penetrated the Japanese market, bringing in about RM3.8 billion ($1.6 billion) a year.
'The Japanese demand is expected to increase and Tongkat Ali exports to Japan are expected to be worth RM8 billion next year.'
Even without the Japanese factor, there will be a shortage in four to five years as there are no big players who are continuously planting the tree that will be producing the herb, he said.
Dr Rashid knows because FRIM monitors the commercial planting of Tongkat Ali.
The price of this plant, he said, might also not be as affordable as it is now. 'When there are no more natural sources of Tongkat Ali, the price is going to go up.'
Increasing demand from other countries is also causing prices to skyrocket, said Dr Rashid.
'On a trip to the United States, I found Tongkat Ali products on the shelves. The extract is sent overseas and packaged there. In one store, our famous herb is called 'Long Jack'.
'Tongkat Ali has male enhancing properties, like a form of steroid, but is safe and natural.
