About Teak
Tectona Grandis, otherwise known as Teak is a deciduous tree native to South and Southeast Asia. Teak is a tropical hardwood that grows over 130 feet tall and has a trunk diameter of around 5 feet.
Teak is a hard, heavy, and strong wood that has become well-known for its durability. The natural oils of the teak tree prevent the wood from warping and cracking and acts as a natural preservative which increases its resistance to insects, fungus, borers, rot, and moisture damage.
Due to the hardwood’s elasticity, solid fiber making, and ability to evade rust and corrosion, teak has become the “king of timber.” It is widely used in boat construction, indoor and outdoor furniture as well as fine furniture displaying its beautiful and unique properties.
Teak has a history of being a strong investment and with the increase of popularity of teak, demand trends continue to grow and strengthen. As the global supply dwindles, Panama, along with other countries in Central and South America and Africa and has introduced, developed, and managed teak plantations. Forest Teak aims to combine sustainable growth with a high-yield investment.

Teak Projects in Panama
We have more than 20 lots for reforestation projects in Darien, and more lots available in Coronado and Chepo.
The initial investment in our packages is broken down into 90% payment for the land and trees and 10% for the annual maintenance fee for a period of 8 years paid upfront.
Forest Teak anticipates thinning at ages 4, 8, 15, 18, and the final harvest at age 25, depending on market conditions. The year may change accordingly to the advisement of our forestry management team.
Investors will receive the net thinning and harvest proceeds after a 20% management fee is deducted. 5 hectares of land yield between 900 – 1000 cubic meters of mature teak, calculated using the Hoppus Formula.
Maintenance & Management
Our expert management team utilizes improved forestry practices and techniques to ensure the long-term survival and quality of our plantation’s trees. With the assistance of drone imagery and frequent field visits, the plantations are monitored, maintained and our team generates progress reports and environmental impact statements.
