Teak has a proven track record of strong growth. Between 1975 and 2005, teak values increased 8.5% per annum compounded. Although that is very impressive, the current view of the International Tropical Timber Organisation is that growth for our plantation and several others is likely to be around 18-24% per annum.

Not only is teak an amazing natural asset but it is also a dependable biological asset. Probably the most noteworthy reason to become a Teak farmer is that, unlike stocks and shares, it is a physical asset you can see, touch and watch grow. Teak is one of the highest quality woods in the entire world, used to make such exotic products as decking for yachts as well as high-end furniture.
Global demand for teak is rising, while the global supply of teak is decreasing. In fact teak trees are being cut down at a rate of 8-12 times greater than the rate of replanting.
The United Nations has designed 'Sustainable Development Goals' to safeguard forests because they provide resources for sustenance and survival. One of the primary global agreements for reforestation and climate change is The Paris Climate Accord.
Here at The Curious Guys we believe that ethical profit can co-exist with environmental benefits and social responsibility, helping to create a better world for all of us and future generations.
The Teak plantation is proud to be an integral part of the environmental efforts in Ghana. As a Private Commercial Plantation Developer On-Reserve, the plantations works closely with the Plantations Division of the Ghana Forestry Commission (GFC) to rejuvenate degraded forest lands, enhance forest carbon stocks, and promote sustainable timber production.
The plantation consists of 35 compartments, each divided into sub-compartments, ensuring optimal growth conditions and efficient management for the thriving teak trees. By focusing on UN-classified degraded forest land, the plantation provides a valuable solution for rehabilitating these areas while contributing to the growth of the timber industry in Ghana.
The plantations reforestation efforts align with the objectives of Ghana's National REDD+ Strategy. As such, they proudly operate under the umbrella of REDD+ with the Ghana Forestry Commission. The work helps Ghana, as a nation, to mitigate the effects of climate change and support biodiversity in the region.
