The genus Cinnamomum

Conclusion
In spite of the fact that C. burmannii is an important export crop, little research and
development has gone into its production and improvement. Even efforts on collectionconservation
and evaluation of germplasm have been initiated only very recently.
In Sumatera these activities were started during 1991–1992. The Research Institute for
Spices and Medicinal Crops has initiated this work at its research centre in Sumatera
where a germplasm collection has been assembled. This collection consists of progenies
of 71 trees selected from the field, 232 random collections, and 35 elite collections.
There are also four blocks of half a ha each of Bukit Gompong cinnamon collection
conserved there. No superior line has so far been released for commercial growing,
through a couple of superior lines have been identified.
