Those trees can also be found across the shores of both Greece and Aegean West and Southwest of Turkey, not just unique to a single island

The tree in Chios produces about 300 grams while in other areas the tree produces about 3 grams

You are wrong. Only the mastic trees on the Greek island of Chios are able to produce mastic resin.

Apparently they can be found only in coastal Mediterranean areas but the island's soil is the only one that will grow those trees able to produce resin. Exporting the plant won't wield the same result.

You can, but you wont be able to call the product Mastiha due to the protected origin status of the product. Just like with champagne, you cant call it champagne if its not produced in the region of champagne, even if the product is identical. Its an unfair way of restricting the market supply. It's a benefit for the producers, and a detriment to everyone else.

@@durimmiziraj4815You can produce it, you just can’t name it Chios Mastiha. However you can’t really plant this tree in many places because it won’t grow and most don’t produce the resin with the same aroma and flavor. The climate and soil are unique. The same goes for pistachios from a specific island in Greece, Aegina, where the pistachios have very intense flavor, color and aroma which is also characteristic, you can’t mistake a pistachio from Aegina with any other. It’s the climate and soil that make the mix unique.

@@durimmiziraj4815You are wrong. You can try planting the tree in other places but it simply does not produce the resin elsewhere. For some reason there is something in the climate and/or the ground that makes this tree only able to thrive on the island of Chios.
