There is a global trend towards greater reliance on plantations as a source for industrial wood... ...Other significant developments include private investment in plantations in developing countries.

About production levels: “Assuming a mean production of 3 m3/acre/year, then 17 million acres would be required... - ...some 300,000 annually. This equates with 10 percent of annual planting in developing countries...”

Reviewing the temporarily research results R.G.I. can look forward to a significant increase in aral production on the farms where underground drainage systems have been applied... as such production increments from 10 to 30% could be expected

About greenhouse gasses: Quantification of accumulated carbon can be estimated in plantations. For example, assuming a growth rate of 10 m3/ha/year under a quality species like teak, grown continually on 30 years rotations would accumulate about 100 tonnes/ha (R. Matthew, nd). This means that an area of 2.4 million ha under a species like teak would have the potential to accumulate 240 million tonnes of carbon

The estimated net annual change in forest area worldwide during 1990-2000 was –9.4 million hectares representing the estimated annual rate of deforestation of 14.6 million has. and the annual rate of forest area increase of 5.2 million has

“In comparison, real estate e.g. has been shown to experience volatility. Comparatively, Teakwood has demonstrated much less fluctuation and sustained increases in value for long periods of time.
Your asset grows in value every year, independent of stock markets. The global Teakwood market is driven by growing demand and shrinking supply, making your asset more valuable each year as it grows to maturity.”
