Growing in Africa
Our Teak
Equatoria Teak produces a range of teak products for regional and international markets. These include skimmed logs and rough sawn squares with the unique properties of Tectona Grandis; fine grain, high density, well-coloured timber that is suitable for multiple applications. These exceptional characteristics make South Sudan teak the highest quality plantation teak in the world outside of Myanmar.
Processing of Our Teak
ETC operates portable sawmills close to each plantation block to minimise waste and logistics costs. Teak is milled into rough sawn squares and skimmed logs, then transported overland to Kampala, Uganda, where our agents manage container loading and shipping through the port of Mombasa.
​
We have supplied the Indian market with high-grade teak and are now pursuing FSC re-certification to access European and North American markets. The first harvesting cycle will begin in 2031, followed by a second phase from 2035 lasting four years, before the third phase of sustainable teak harvesting, covering 200 hectares per year, commences in 2041.
