| Of all the tropical hardwood species - and perhaps all tree species - teak exudes a particular fascination, somewhat like gold among the precious metals. Valued for more than 2 000 years as an extraordinarily durable building timber in its native range in Asia, teak is now coveted worldwide. Its extremely good dimensional stability and aesthetic qualities have led to its use in shipbuilding, fine furniture, door and window frames and any other applications that requires strong durable stable wood. As the sustainable supply of teak from natural forests (now almost exclusively Myanmar) diminishes and the demand continues to increase, the general trend in the future will be towards increasing production and utilization of plantation-grown teak. Teak has good growth rates and the return from the species is lucrative .Teak is one the most researched tropical forest tree species. It is relatively simple to grow in comparison to other commercial hardwood species. It is thus very suitable as a plantation timber species in areas with ecological conditions appropriate for its growth. It's use in Forest Plantation has been the subject of comprehensive research programs in India, Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar for at least 50 years. Some of the key outcomes from those programs with respect to plantations have been the identification of élite genetic material for wide-scale planting and the development of silvicultural practices that optimize the production of high-grade timber. Teak is suitable for small-scale planting because of its high value, relatively fast growth, and ease of cultivation. Its market value has increased rapidly because of dwindling supplies. Given the growing demand for teak wood and the likelihood that natural forest sources will soon be unable to meet it, investment in teak plantation can yield high long term steady returns on the investment. There are tax incentives for investments in plantations in Panama. Investment in teak plantations is a "win-win" situation because the client makes a profit, there will be new jobs created in Panama and the long-lasting environmental benefits such as tropical wood binding of CO2. We offer one of the best teak investment programs available in both price and quality of management. For more detailed information on all aspects of our teak programs click on our links. |
