Equatoria Teak Company (ETC) is South Sudan’s leading sustainable forestry company. ETC manages teak plantations in Western Equatoria State, and is one of the largest private sector employers in the region.
ETC is an investee company of Maris Capital – a UK based venture capital group that has been managing investments in South Sudan since 2006.
Our average tree age at harvesting is 50 years, producing a fine grain, high density, well-colored lumber suitable for all applications. We produce rough squares, flooring and decking. The majority of our products are air-dried, though we do have kilns with a monthly production capacity of 400 cbm.
Equatoria Teak is dedicated to sustainability. We are holding a Sustainable Forestry Conference in Nzara September 3 - 5th. For further details please email info@equatoriateak.com.
Equatoria Teak Company is headquartered in the historic Nzara Agricultural Complex that was once home to the region's cotton, palm oil and groundnut industries. Bordering the DRC and the CAR, Western Equatoria receives the highest annual rainfall in South Sudan, and its climate and soil are ideal for many forms of agriculture.
