Following the recent MoU signed with an African government for $48 mn, teak wood cultivation project will be executed in strategic phases. Phase 1 begins with land preparation, infrastructure setup, and seedling nurseries across the leased jungles. Phase 2 involves large-scale planting, sustainable irrigation systems, and employment of local workforce. Phase 3 focuses on growth monitoring, agroforestry integration, and early-stage harvesting cycles. Phase 4 scales up operations for export-grade teak production and global market linkage. Throughout all phases, we prioritize environmental sustainability, local community development, and long-term economic returns—positioning this as one of Africa’s largest green investment initiatives.
