Teak (Tectona grandis):

• High Value: Teak is one of the world's most desired hardwoods, valued for its extreme durability, water and rot resistance, and beautiful color. It is the preferred wood for luxury goods like yacht decking and high-end outdoor furniture.

• Price Trend: Teak prices have historically shown a steady, upward trend globally as supply from natural forests declines, which helps to preserve the investment's real value against inflation.

• Maturity Cycle: The major cash flow from a teak plantation is typically realized at final harvest, often after 20 years, where the majority of the trees are harvested for high-value saw logs. 

Melina (Gmelina arborea):

• Faster Return: Melina is a fast-growing commercial wood that can provide earlier cash flow through thinnings or smaller harvests (sometimes as early as 10–12 years) compared to Teak.

• Profitability: Studies on Melina plantations in Central America have estimated a profitability (Internal Rate of Return) between 12% and 18%, depending on site quality and wood price.
