Harvesting gurjun oil can be done by tapping the sap of the Keruing tree. Traditionally, the sap of the keruing tree was used by people in the forest as a fuel to light torches. The tapping is done by making a tapping hole in the tree trunk with a hole height of about 1 meter from the ground with a minimum diameter of 50 cm, the hole made must lead to the center of the trunk The collection is best done during the rainy season. After getting the keruing sap, distillation is carried out to get gurjun oil.
