An Asset of Substance
Teak is a substantial product, demand for which is not only
reliable but rising fast. It is a worthwhile investment for the
long haul, offering security combined with good financial
returns – two rare qualities in the present
commodity markets.
Growing demand for teak is now combined with more limited
growing areas. These geographical changes are brought
about by deforestation and illegal logging. Yet the shrinking
international supply is combined with growing
consumer demand.

As your trees grow, they become an ever-more useful and
valuable asset. When they reach harvestable maturity, their
value will have risen very significantly compared to the initial
investment. Over a 15-25 year period, there will be a strong
and consistent increase, made even stronger by inevitable
inflation in the price of teak.
The rarity of teak ensures its value to investors. At the same
time, a teak investment safeguards this hardwood and boosts
the local economy by creating stable employment. Teak
