Market Analysis
Teak timber has high demand in both domestic and international markets due to its exceptional quality and versatility. The rising construction and furniture industries, coupled with a growing preference for sustainable materials, provide a favorable market landscape for teak producers. Chongai Nigerian Limited aims to tap into this market by establishing a steady supply of high-quality teak timber.
Product Description
We will focus on planting and managing teak trees (Tectona grandis) on a large scale. Teak is known for its durability, natural resistance to decay and insects, and its ability to produce high-quality timber. Our teak tree plantations will be carefully planned, with proper spacing, pruning, and maintenance to ensure optimal growth and timber quality.

- Harvesting and Timber Processing: After a ten-year growth period, mature teak trees will be selectively harvested. Timber processing facilities will be established to convert harvested logs into finished timber products, such as boards, planks, and veneers.
Marketing and Sales Strategy
Chongai Nigerian Limited will establish strategic partnerships with local and international timber distributors, furniture manufacturers, and construction companies.
