== VALUE-ADDED PROCESSING==No further processing is carried out until the resin is ready for formulation by the consumingindustry. == PRODUCTS OTHER THAN RESIN==
Apart from local use as a source of cane in Southeast Asia, no other products of economic
value are known to come from the species which yield dragon's blood.
== DEVELOPMENTAL POTENTIAL==
Unless some of the traditional medicinal uses of dragon's blood are developed into more
widely used products, there appears to be very little developmental potential for the plants
or the resins they produce.
