TECA’S HISTORICAL YIELD DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE PERFORMANCE.


The final profit making is subject to three mayor variables: increasing wood market prices at harvest stage, quality and volume of wood. Normally we obtain between 0.70 to 0.90 m³ per tree unit, taking in consideration a conservative average of 0.75 m³ per tree as a reference. All these are estimated calculations exclusively used for its informational value, lacking of significance at the time of settlement.

Forest investment have little or no relation to other endeavors; as the world supply of Teak dwindles, the price of this exotic and magnificent wood will continue to rise in an environment were offer is currently limited.
