Why invest in forestry?
With the world's population and their living conditions on the rise, there' s an ever-increasing demand for the timber based products. Be it for building massive constructions or for manufacturing that tiny match you use everyday, this demand has far exceeded the tolerable levels of natural forests. If this demand exerts its cumulative pressure on the world's natural forests, what would be the consequences? Even imagining the nemesis would be rather horrible for all the living beings. Think of a world where you struggle to breathe with little oxygen in air. As the most intelligent living beings on the earth are we just going to gloss over this great damage done to our environment? Or are we going to relieve the pressure on these natural forests and contibute to their conservation in every possible way? Yes, you can.
You can contribute to the forest conservation while having a diversified investment portfolio that brings you a great amount of profit too. We at, Sadaharitha provide such investment opporutnities for you. Curently our main forestry projects deal with teaks.
Other than the financial gains, there are various other environmental benefits because of these kinds of forestry projects. They include the reduction of pressure on natural forests, providing a sink for greenhouse gases like Carbon Dioxide and prevention of soil erosion,etc.
Teak is considered as a "Luxury class" timber which has a high market value due to its tremendous strength and durability factors. The world demand for Teak products is increasing rapidly as it is highly popular among the interior designers, furniture makers and architects. So, there is no argument about the harvest value of Teak as a part of your investment portfolio.
The common teak, scientifically known as Tectona grandis, belongs to the family Verbenaceae. The amber colored teak wood has a fine looking texture and a long lasting durability. Teak wood contains natural oils and silica, thus making it more resistant to insects and harsh weather conditions. Because of this property teak is even suitable for outdoor furnitures.
