The growing international boycotts on harvesting natural teak makes the problem more compounded and the only solution at sight is creating an alternative supply through cultivated plantations.

Our teak trees are grown from research enabled tissue culture and scientific methods which when cultivated using our process oriented scientific methods can be harvested within 15 years cycles or else according to demand. Tissue Culture Burma Teak Project cultivation allows for faster planting cycles of between 12 – 15 years as per demand of the market, rather than 20-25 years.

This proven method also delivers consistent tree quality which in turn gives higher yields and quality.
