s:971:"TI The significance of planted teak for smallholder farmers AU Roshetko, J.M. AU Perdana, A. AB Teak (Tectona grandis) is most widely known as an industrial plantation species. There is a minimum of 4.3 million hectare of teak plantations across the world; 83% are found in Asia, primarily in India, Indonesia, and Myanmar. Smallholder farmer plantings are currently a minor component of the global teak estate, comprising 19% of the area in Africa and Asia, 31% in Central America, and34% in South America (Kollert and Cherubini, 2012). With market demand exceeding the sustainable yield of large-scale plantations and natural forests, smallholder production holds potential as an important source of teak for industry. The second largest producer of teak behind India, Indonesia, has a very well developed smallholder teak farming sector, which is concentrated in Central Java, where farmers have been growing teak for over fifty years (Roshetko et al., 2013).
