4 Welcome Message from FAO Dear delegates from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Oceania, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, I am deeply honoured by the opportunity to welcome you at the World Teak Conference 2015 in Guayaquil, Ecuador. This event has been organized for the 3rd time after previous conferences have been held in Costa Rica (2011) and Thailand (2013) that have attracted worldwide attention of plantation managers, growers, investors, traders, scientists and researchers. As a member of the Scientific and Organizing Committee I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the Asociación Ecuatoriana de Productores y Comercializadores de Teca y Maderas Tropicales (ASOTECA) for having taken the initiative to organize this event in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Teak Information Network (TEAKNET), the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) and the event organizer Soluciones Ambientales Totales (SAMBITO). Teak (Tectona grandis) has gained worldwide recognition as the most preferred tropical hardwood reputed for its exceptionally superior physical, mechanical and aesthetic qualities. Teak is one of the tropical hardwoods in high demand for the luxury market and for heavy duty applications. Since the 1980 s, this species has attracted large-scale investments from the private sector in approx. 70 countries throughout tropical Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania. Growing private investment in teak plantations is a clear indication of the perceived potential of the species. Ecuador is an important teak growing country and has emerged as one of the largest teak exporters in Latin America. The government of Ecuador has launched a national support program that provides financial incentives for reforestation with commercial species, among them teak. It is estimated that today, more than 1200 teak plantations cover an area of approx. 50,000 hectares in Ecuador. The annual export of round logs and sawn timber to mainly Asian countries is estimated at approx. 150,000 cubic meters. In this context I am convinced that we are looking forward to an interesting and stimulating convention that will provide ample opportunities to learn about teak resources and markets in different country contexts and to discuss their contributions to sustainable livelihoods and rural development. I encourage you to fully embrace this event and to take the opportunity to mobilize your networks and meet familiar colleagues from the international teak community and, equally important, to make new friends and to share with them your views on old and innovative ideas. I am also looking forward to enjoying Ecuador s rich culture and hospitality, which will make this event a significant milestone in the history of the international teak community. Sincerely, 4

5 Walter Kollert Planted Forests Officer, FAO, Rome Welcome Message from TEAKNET Let me extend a most sincere welcome to all of you to the 3rd World Teak Conference here in the beautiful city of Guayaquil. On behalf of the Conference Scientific Committee and TEAKNET, the Co-organiser of the event, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd World Teak Conference with the theme: Strengthening Global Teak Resources and Markets for Sustainable Development with major focus on economic, social, technical and environmental issues that have an impact on the production, marketing and trade of teakwood. This is in fact the second time that the World Teak Conference is being held in Latin America which is home to about 6% of the world s planted teak resources. Ecuador is the largest teak exporting country in Latin America. The government of Ecuador has launched massive reforestation programme and provide financial incentives for commercial species, including teak. It is estimated that today, more than 1200 teak plantations covering an area of approx. 46,000 ha in Ecuador.. The local organizers, ASOTECA has taken lot of efforts and pains to make elaborate arrangements for the successful organisation of this conference. The scientific programme was developed in 4 major sessions that include 30 Oral presentations and an equal number of Posters encompass all aspects of teak plantation management, production, marketing and trade, highlighting the problems faced by the teak sector, globally. TEAKNET which is an international R & D network established by FAO of the United Nations is one of the technical sponsors of this conference. TEAKNET is more than delighted and committed to work for the sustainable development of the world teak community, this time at the largest gathering of growers, traders and researchers assembled here for the face to face dialogue and continued interaction between the stakeholders. We, from TEAKNET are extremely happy to wish you very successful and memorable days in Guayaquil. Sincerely, Lars Graudal 5

6 Chairman, TEAKNET Copenhagen, Denmark Welcome Message from IUFRO On behalf of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) I am honoured to be able to welcome you to the 3rd World Teak Conference. An important meeting underpinned by the theme Strengthening Global Teak Resources and Markets for Sustainable Development and held in Guayaquil, Ecuador from 11 to 15 May It makes me particularly proud to be able to highlight the fact that IUFRO, via its Working Party on Utilization of Planted Teak is co-sponsoring this international event. More than 300 participants from across the globe will meet in Guayaquil to discuss important aspects of teak conservation and management including silviculture, genetics, plantation management, marketing and trade. These discussions will play an important role in promoting teak as a quality product from sustainable forest resources management. IUFRO is a non-profit, non-governmental international network of forest science institutions that advances research excellence and knowledge sharing. Importantly, it fosters development of science-based solutions to forest-related challenges for the benefit of forests and people worldwide. With its 650 member institutions in more than 120 countries, IUFRO is able to generate and disseminate scientific information on key economic, social, technical and environmental issues impacting on the production, marketing and trade of many different products including teak products.therefore, the World Teak Conference provides an excellent opportunity for researchers, practitioners, policy makers and the private sector to interact, to learn from each other and in this way to strengthen partnership and cooperation. One of the outcomes of the World Teak Conference held in Bangkok in 2013 was the recognition that the genetic resource base of natural teak forests is under constant threat and that urgent conservation measures were needed. IUFRO together with TEAKNET and FAO has been at the forefront of initiating a global project on the genetic conservation and management of teak resources. To this end, a Project Formulation Workshop for Asian partners coordinated by IUFRO s Special Programme for Development of Capacities (SPDC) was organised in Bangkok in May As a follow-up and aiming at further developing the project, a similar 2-day workshop for African and Latin American countries will be held prior to the 2015 Ecuador Conference. ASOTECA, the local organizers of the World Teak Conference, together with, FAO, IUFRO, TEAKNET and other sponsoring agencies are commended for their hard work in organising this important event. I am confident that this conference spanning 3 days with an additional day of field visits will provide a platform to discuss and deliberate all aspects of teak production. And importantly that the outcomes will include measures to overcome the challenges faced in the sustainable development of the global teak sector. IUFRO is all the more happy to join you in this conference in Guayaquil. Sincerely, 6

7 Mike Wingfield President, IUFRO, Vienna Welcome Message from ITTO I am extremely glad to learn that the 3rd World Teak Conference is going to be held in Guayaquil, Ecuador during May 2015 with the theme: Strengthening Global Teak Resources and Markets for Sustainable Development. This will be a historical event of global significance in developing international strategic plans for sustainable utilization of naturally renewable resources, especially teak. The International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) is an intergovernmental organization promoting the conservation and sustainable management, use and trade of tropical forest resources. With these mandates, ITTO joins hands with international organizations like FAO, TEAKNET, IUFRO and other stakeholders to promote sustainable development in the forests products sector thereby increasing their capacity to export legally harvested timber and other forest products from those forests. ITTO serves the international teak community by providing the trade policies and market information of teak logs and squares through its Market Information Service published bi-monthly. I congratulate the organizers, ASOTECA, the consortium of private owned teak enterprises in Ecuador who have come forward to conduct this international conference in the land of the largest teak exporting country in Latin America, in association with FAO, TEAKNET and other organizations. I hope you enjoy your time in Guayaquil and I encourage you to take advantage of the wider opportunities to develop your new networks. Sincerely, 7

24 SESSION I ECONOMICS, INVESTMENTS, MARKETS AND TRADE 24

25 General Keynote World Teak Market What s next? Darshan Raiyani The Teak market has gone through a dramatic change with the Myanmar government imposing a ban on export of round logs of teak and other hardwoods from March 31st Myanmar was the world s largest supplier of high quality teak logs with an annual exports of 300,000 Ht (Hoppus tons) or about 425,000 cbm of teak. This huge deficit is expected to bring about significant changes in the international Supply & Demand of teak and will most likely have a lasting impact on both the exporting and importing countries. The world s largest importer and consumer of teak, India, will be the most affected. There are signs of some changes in preferences in India due to the very high prices of the Myanmar teak. Other Asian countries like Thailand, Pakistan, China, Vietnam and Middle East, which relied on Myanmar teak would also have to reconcile with this change and alter consumption patterns. The high end consumers in Europe and America would also feel the pinch due to the reduced volume and increased competition for the available quantities of Myanmar lumber. What would be the impact of these changes in India and the other markets? Will there be a drop in consumption or will there be an increased demand for plantation teak from Latin America and Africa? Can the gap left by Myanmar be filled by other countries, albeit in plantation Teak? Can the suppliers look forward to better prices from the consuming markets? Can the destination markets pay higher prices? What are the risks of substitution by other timber species and other materials like iron, aluminium, synthetic materials? Will Myanmar restart the export of logs? Once Myanmar has the necessary processing capacity, what would be the expected volumes of teak lumber and how will it impact the other teak exporting nations? How will Myanmar Teak lumber be received by high-end consumers? What are the ramifications of these changes on the world Teak market?
