TEAK FARMING

Teak farming involves the cultivation of teak trees (Tectona grandis), a tropical hardwood species known for its high-quality wood. The process includes selecting suitable land with a tropical climate, well-drained soil, and adequate rainfall. Teak trees are typically planted as saplings with enough spacing to allow for healthy growth. These trees require proper care such as watering, fertilizing, weed control, and pest management, especially during the early years of growth. Teak farming is a long-term investment, with trees typically harvested after 20 to 25 years for their valuable timber. The wood produced is used in various industries, including furniture making, flooring, shipbuilding, and construction, due to its strength, durability, and resistance to water and pests. Sustainable and responsible teak farming practices are essential to ensure environmental preservation and maintain the commercial value of teak timber
