TEAK INVESTMENT IN SHORT
Teak has been experiencing steadily increasing demand for years. This noble wood is a popular material for furniture or building material.
Again we ‘work’ according to a proven pattern for years:
- The land owner gets 50 percent of the yield,
- The investor gets 36 percent
- And 14 percent remain for other project of the Mama Earth foundation, which also takes over the management.
A teak seedling costs only 20 Euro. If those seedlings do not grow, for whatever reason, they will be replanted at our expense. In order to let them grow into thick trunks, our certified foresters plant the trees at a distance of 4 x 4 meters, i.e. a maximum of 625 seedlings on one hectare.
