At present, Thailand and Indonesia are the biggest exporters of teak wood products in the region. Demand for teak has yet to pick up in the wood industry here, but Frim is optimistic of the potential, citing the species’ faster growth rate compared to other local hardwood species such as meranti and cengal as a plausible appeal.
Currently, it is estimated that there are about 2,500ha of teak plantations in the country, mainly in Sabah and Sarawak. Frim continues its ongoing endeavours in promoting teak through conferences, technology talk with industry players, as well as meetings with planters.
