15 year projected gross income with a 5 % Annual Increase in price:

US $ 519,097.00 per Hectare

 

Notes:

 

(1) Similar calculations can be extracted for the other listed plantations.

(2) One hectare equals 2.4709 acres.

(3) The average cubic meter per hectare can be higher (see article and table by Julio Cesar Centeño, PhD).

(4) An increase of 5 % per annum in teak prices is consistent with previous years and conservative considering           future timber shortages.

(5) Current FAS price of $ US 2.50/board foot FOB (free on board) ship. This price is reflective of exportable clear lumber only.

(6) Trees in years 1 to 5 are used as posts. In today’s market, only high quality, mature teak is bought in international market.
