FIO teak harvest volume
~25,000-32,000 m3/year
The Forest Industry Organization (FIO), a state enterprise under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, harvests approximately 25,000-32,000 cubic metres of teak (Tectona grandis) per year from its managed plantations in the Northern and lower Northern regions, including Lampang, Phrae, and Sukhothai. FIO operates under a regulated commercial teak monopoly framework: private sector teak harvest from natural forest has been banned since the 1989 logging ban, and FIO's plantation teak is the principal legal domestic supply. Volume varies year-to-year depending on rotation age (typically 25-30 years for plantation teak) and is sold via auction.
