Commercial teak farming in India has gained serious momentum in recent years in India not only as a profitable trade but also as a lucrative investment plan for investors. The revolutionary idea of teak farming investment has been introduced for the first time in India by Vatican Shona Agrotech (VSA), a new-age sustainable investment company headed by Mr. Rajesh Rathore. With an aim to create “Wealth to Farmers, Health to the nation”, VSA is working relentlessly to unlock the limitless potential of high-yield tree farming like teak (sagwan), which is significantly contributing to meeting the booming demand and supply of teak in both domestic and global market.

Importance of teak: 

Teak is a popular hardwood deciduous tree native to South East Asia and grows in abundance in nations like India, Myanmar (Burma), Srilanka, China, and Bangladesh. Among all the mentioned nations, Myanmar is the heavyweight teak producer for its signature Burmese teak that dominates the global teak demand. 

Teak has been in use since ancient times being the most durable and finest quality hardwood for shipbuilding, furniture, and homes. And with the expansion of global trade, teak made its way into other parts of the world and immediately gained raging popularity with a current market value worth crores. Unfortunately, India’s current status of teak production is less than 3% against the soaring 50% of the overall global demand for teak, making India a major teakwood importer in the world. 

Keeping in mind the rocketing worldwide demand for premium-grade teak, Vatican Shona Agrotech has initiated a scientific approach to teak farming to ensure a secure growth of green wealth irrespective of the market status. The deforestation of natural teak is also one of the alarming reasons that prompted the Vatican Shona Agrotech head to promote and practice extensive farming of sagwan in India.

Factors behind the rocketing demand for teak:

Teak is the most durable hardwood with natural oils that makes it stand against the test of time for centuries. The natural oils work as a pest repellant, securing the wood from pest infestation for years.

This close-grained hardwood is easy to cut with greater accuracy and precise detailing

Teak flowers and seeds have medicinal properties as diuretics, while the natural oil is used in hair care products as a growth booster

The bark paste is a potent headache reliever and has importance in ayurveda and medical science

Because of these exclusive properties, Teak continues to remain an evergreen highly demanding hardwood all over the globe.
