Western Australian company Dutjahn Sandalwood Oils has won the small business award at this year's Australian Exporter of the Year event, held at Parliament House in Canberra last night.
Some of the major players formerly behind essential oils business Mt Romance are involved in a new sandalwood player in Western Australia, which is half-owned by an indigenous group.
A subsidiary of TFS Corporation and a joint venture between a Melbourne oils producer and a local indigenous business have been shortlisted for wild sandalwood oil processing contracts with the state government.
