Teak (Tectona grandis) is one of the most beautiful and valuable hardwoods in the world, being as well a species optimally suitable for large-scale plantations, thanks to its fast growth. Teak is originally from Asia (Burma, India, Thailand) and plantations have been documented for centuries. From Asia, it expanded to Africa, South and Central America in the twentieth century.

Teaks beautiful golden dark brown wood is heavy, strong and easy to work. It contains natural oils that makes it water resistant and insect resistant, which is why it is used for decks, exterior floors and furniture, and a variety of work in expensive boats and yachts.

In addition, due to its beauty and durability, Teak is used in an endless variety of interior applications such as furniture, walls, cabinets and decoration elements.

Having being intensely exploited for decades, Teak is difficult to obtain and currently considered in danger of extinction. Because of its many uses, demand for Teak has risen steadily over time, as well as its price.

Historically, the price of teak has increased at an average rate of 8% per year in the last three decades. In addition, teak is an extremely fast growing species and its silvicultural requirements have been greatly researched and documented. All these conditions were considered when WGF decided to grow Teak, knowing the demand for the wood, its fast growth and its price guarantee a significantly profitable investment.
