Teakwood market Driver

• Farmers can diversify farm production, support food security, generate income, and reduce financial risk by using teak-based small-scale production systems. Teak plantations are an important alternative source of high-quality timber for the wood industry. Furthermore, Teak clonal forestry has proven to be effective in establishing fast-growing industrial stands with high yields, good wood quality, and commercial value. Using outstanding and site-adapted genotypes, the clonal option appears to be the best way to maximise returns on investments in the shortest period of time. With retail businesses applying voluntary verification (sustainability) standards and/or governments introducing involuntary regulatory (legality) compliance systems that influence market access and acceptance, the global teak wood markets have become increasingly sensitive to timber sourced illegally or unsustainably. There is now a greater emphasis on trade and aid policies to encourage developing countries to adopt more sustainable forest management approaches and reduce instances of illegal forest product trade. The major change occurring within international markets is that demonstrating sustainability is no longer a primary requirement for market access; management and governance systems must now demonstrate a commitment to product legality and supply transparency. These factors are expected to drive the global Teakwood market over the forecast year.

Teakwood market Restraint

• Natural teak forests are dwindling, particularly old-growth, high-quality stands. Similarly, due to overexploitation of existing stands, deforestation, conversion to other land uses, and increasing competition for environmental services, the sustained production of teak logs from natural forests is decreasing. These factors are expected to stifle the global market growth of teak over the forecast year.
• There is no single internationally accepted method for evaluating logs that allow for reliable price comparisons between countries. Log quantities can be determined by calculating in a variety of ways, each yielding a valid (but distinct) result. The volume produced by the grower in real cubic meters may not be the same as the volume traded. This can lead to significant misunderstanding and confusion: a grower wants to be paid for wood grown, whereas a trader wants to pay only for wood that can be processed. Conversion factors have been developed to aid this important dialogue, but they have yet to be applied uniformly.
