1. Teak -Tectona grandisBest-known, most valuable,
widely produced tropical timberNative: India, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand 23 million ha (half in Myanmar)
Timber demand has always been great
Plantation production: Indonesia – 13th century?? Sri Lanka – 1680 India – 1840sMyanmar – 1856
Currently grown in minimum 70 countriesGlobal teak plantation 7 to 4 million ha 83% in Asia – India, Indonesia, Myanmar

1. Smallholder Teak When and how did smallholder farmers start to be involved with teak?
rural people worked as laborers for plantation establishment and management
Taungya system: intercropping with annual crops to improve teak seedling establishment and growth (off-set establishment costs) and increase involvement and benefit to farmers!
started in Myanmar 1850s approach, and modifications, still promoted
Smallholder teak plantings (plantations) well established in Java (Indonesia) in 1960s Other countries: Laos, Thailand, Bangladesh,
India, the Philippines, the Solomon Island, Nigeria, Togo, Benin, …
the Solomon Island,, … Costa Rica, Panama

1. Smallholder TeakSmallholder teak plantings Important part of global teak estate
19% of are in Asia and Africa 31% in Central America 34% in South America
Kollert and Cherubini, 2012
Smallholder area approximately ….- 920,000 ha- roughly 21% of total
Smallholder teak systemsIntegrated or segregated Start as monoculture become mixedprefer mixed with other crops & treesVaries from 0.5 – 2.0 haSubsistent systems …… for or commercial Subsistent syproduction!

1. Teak … beyond timber… other contributions to rural people
fuelwoodoil extracts (leaves & wood) skin medicine leaves used as compress for wounds dyes (buds and leaves) for clothes dried leaves as dry season feed for sheep
and goats (low concentrations, 5-25%) dried leaves for roof thatch bark, leaves, wood pulp, sawdust used in
industry …. collected by rural people?mushrooms grow on teak wood teak caterpillar … eaten or sold

2. Teak in Java (Indonesia)
Introduced to Java 2nd Century (by Hindu missionaries)Teak ship building in Java - 10th century Teak plantations started - 13th century Dutch esta. intensive plantations - 19th century Perum Perhutani (state forestry industry) - 1963 Smallholder teak plantation common - 1960s

3. Farmers – main source of industrial teak
Teak cubic m3 2006 2007 2009Perhutani (State Forest Com.) 184,521 186,613 171,329Smallholders 248,111 201,453 200,793
~1.5 million farm families grow teak on Java (Nawir et al 2007)1.5 million farm families row tegr~444,000 ha of mixed teak on fallowed ag land (Java, degraded)444,000 ha of mixed teak on fa~3.1 million ha farmland teak in Indonesia (Kollert et al 2012)3.1 million ha farmland 80% teak used by SMEs from farms (dbh <30) (Achidiawan et al 2011)80% teak used bSMEs are 90% of Jepara furniture industry (Yovi et al 2013)
Teak log production Central Java (one of the two main teak producing provinces)
Smallholder have become an dominant source of teak
supply of smallholder teak will ll as plantation continue to o 9
Why do farmers plant teak?- 54% as family savings (teak is a living bank account)- harvest for $ needed - tebang butuh- 23% as cultural heritage -
23% as cultural heritage - only 15% to max econ opportunity
Prefer Mixed Systems :↓ risk; ↑ diverse crops, product & income for home; improve environ.; sustain traditional
Farmers want to improve Farmers want tomanagement: ….but not sure what to do!

Also mixed tree-crop preferred..enable off-farm opportunitiesinclude temporary migration
Dry areas (Benin, Togo, Nigeria)Teak competes with crops (land and labor) …diversify, restoration preferred
Central & South AmericaSmallholder monocultures

Intercropping (Indonesia) 82% farmers intercrop42% land parcels cropped/year69% intercropped land - tegalan 11% kitren intercropped (mainly during establishment)73% of farmers fertilizer/weed, but only with intercroppingCrops: cassava, peanuts, rice, soybeans, corn, kidney beans, bananas, other vegetables. g, g,

4. Farmer SilvicultureRegeneration: 72% wildlings, 30% local seedling, 20% coppice, 12% improved germ.Pruning: 65% farms, 55% trees – for fuelwood, 10-15 cm stubThinning: 57% thinning (but really harvesting)Coppice: no thinning Not management for improving production /growth
Poor silviculture practices! → Farmers teak systems … overstock, slow growing, low quality, low productivity
Remember – harvest for needs!14
4. Farmer Demo Trials (FDTs)
6 Locations Trees 5-6 years old FDT Treatments- Thinning: i) control, ii) maximum 40-45% (target 4x4m – 625 trees/ha)- Pruning: i) control; ii) 50% total height; & iii) 60% total height- Singling: i) control; & ii) ‘singling’ Monitoring every 6 months
Results (+ 2 yrs) Rainy season growth increment ↑ thinning & pruning, dry season not Pruning 60%-Thinning: DBH 60% ↑, height 124% ↑Single Treatment: Thinning versus No Thinning: DBH 45% ↑, height 80% ↑Good results - Challenging On-Farm conditions

5. Teak Germplasm Huge demand for Teak Seed & Seedlings
East and Central Java farmers - Rp 28,000-35,000/day (US$ 3.30-4.10)
collect/process seed- Rp 275,000-795,000/year (US$ 32-94) - 33-66% of income during 3-month season- appro. 22,500 farmers involved - teak is 20% of seed collected
Similar stories Lampung: 24% of farmer nurseries (100%
of farm timber nurseries) sell teak seedlingsCosta Rica: farmers make significant
income from selling teak (& other priority species) to organizations & projects (Cornelius et al. 2010) 17
5. Market/Marketing
Age(years)
DBH(cm)
Price for farmer(US$/standing tree)
Log volume after processing (m3)
Log price totraders (US$)
role of farmer limited to producerstanding tree standard unit of sale for farm-grown teakno clear quality or volume standards exist 51% farmers discuss price with neighbors, 31% compare price
with multiple traders, 18% are price takers regardless of approach – farmers receive price ↓ market ratetraders ↑ transaction cost; so offer price ↓ traders ↑ transaction cost; so offer price ↓ farmers sell small dbh logs (only 14% harvest by dbh class)

5. Ideal - Smallholder Teak Marketing
Awareness BuildinggMarketing, not just selling
Understanding of market demand … through process of build long-term relationshipsg p
Collective marketingTeak growers work together to build relationships with market and reduce transaction costsOptions: cooperatives, associations, farmer groupsCollaboration with teak processing industry
5. Reality is different ….Farmer Reluctances …
Proof of ↑ profits through collective marketing, yes … but management of cooperative / association … poorDifferent resources for each household
Trees of different agesHousehold/farm characteristics …
Different needs for each householdTuition fees, marriage, emergencies ….Not the first source of income ….Working with neighbors … not always easy
Results – traders still face high transaction costs, extra-legal fees, …. pay below market values
6. Environmental ImpactsRehabilitation of Central Java & Yogyakarta
used to rehabilitates fallow agriculture land… 11th century 1.5 million ha lowalnds Java 1950’s severe poverty & land degradation treeless, soil erosion, agric. failing drought induced famines ‘Agroforestation’ with teak
- rehab soils, landscapes, incomes, - major source of timber - from treeless to 28.1% tree cover - 68% smallholder farms; teak 56% of trees
Similar cases Laos (Midgley et al 2007) Nigeria (Osemeobo 1989)
21
7. Challenges Impediments to smallholder teak
Low quality timber - poor silviculture Dense spacing Lack of capital to invest in teak *(won’t borrow; banks won’t lend for teak) Inability to wait duration of a teak
rotation before needing returns Limited access to market info/linkages Poor bargaining positionHigh transaction costs for traders
passed on to farmers)Unfavourable policies
* But farmers’ opportunistic management provides good returns to limited resources & investment. Minimize risk. Off-farm opport. may be better than intensive silviculture. 22
8. ManagementRecommendations
Harvest for need approach is ok, but…
Farmer should d ↑ ↑ ↑ management, how?- better germplasm - wider initial spacing - coppice management - thinning best option for ↑ production
Government and support agencies facilitate adoption of silvicultural - access to germplasm, extension and
training, information (manuals, bulletins), and demonstration trials
Similar recommendations: Thailand, Laos, Panama, Costa Rica, & general
23
Produce larger diameter, better quality logs (know the market)Improve market position by accessing informationDevelop links between teak farmers and teak industries Engage in group marketing to ↓ transaction costs for all partiesProvide farmers log grading and pricing system that is used by the timber industryGovernment provide more suitable timber trade regulations, specifically for smallholder timberSimplify timber trade regulations to - min. transaction costs) & make farm teak markets more efficient
8. Market
Produce larger diameter better
