Potential Yield / Acre

(please note – the prices stated per cubic meter reflect today’s market valuation for age and girth and future pricing has not been adjusted for inflation. It is further assumed that once the trees reach twenty years they will have reached their prime market value, and it is not anticipated that the price paid per cubic meter will increase substantially as they continue to grow. Please consult an industry expert for confirmation before purchasing)

Target market is exportable pruned  logs 100 cm (40 inches) in width, 6 meters (20 feet) length. Likely markets are India, China, and various SE Asia markets. No additional volume in tops or limbs of less than 6 meters (20 feet) is assumed.

ITTO market reporting suggests US$500/Cubic Meter in real pricing is realistic for target tree size in 20 -25 years’ time, while trees thinned in 12–20-year-old stands would bring approximately US$250/Cubic Meter.
Alternatives suggest real returns in excess of 8% (no cost, or revenue inflation) and not considering residual stand and timber value are reasonable. In addition, the plantation will self-regenerate itself after each cutting, and the value of the land, which has not been factored in, will steadily increase.
