Why invest in forestry?
Forestry investment is one of the very few investments which will show capital growth even in times of a general market decline: trees will keep growing naturally.
The world market for timber is growing with the development of industries around the globe: the needs of the building industry, furniture, paper and a variety of other uses means that the demand for timber will keep rising for many years to come. Consequently, forestry investment is ideal for people investing for their retirement or creating a nest egg for their children.
For an investment which will appreciate steadily and is immune to the volatility of other markets, it represents a tangible, satisfying investment whose ecological impact makes its owner feel proud.
Forestry is a tangible, satisfying investment whose ecological impact makes its owner feel proud and his profits on the rise.
Teak is the most valuable and precious wood of all. Used in literally thousands of applications, teak commands the leading position on the world tropical hardwood market. Teak has achieved its status and reputation because of its beauty, strength, durability, versatility in many applications, dimensional stability under a wide array of environmental conditions and its ability to grow well on plantations. Furthermore, teak has excellent growth rates, therefore making it suitable as a plantation timber species and lastly the return from the species is lucrative enough for exploitation on a commercial basis.
Demand
The demand for high-grade tropical hardwood is increasing at a vigorous pace. The tropical timber market is booming. The world’s existing hardwood plantations are unable to satisfy the escalating needs of the tropical timber industry.
