12 Measurement and Shipment Expensive/small consignments/ regular Different shipping systems Containers Vs Break Bulk Cheap/ Large consignments Photo courtesy Richard Laity Different measuring systems. (JAS, Brereton, Hoppus? Is this shipment 13 m 3 or 11 m 3?

13 Size matters! 12+yrs 60+yrs US$3000/m 3 US$200/m 3

14 International Influences European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) and Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPA) The Lacey Act (USA) Japan s Law Promotion of the Procurement of Eco-Friendly Goods and Services by the State and Other Entities Australian Illegal Logging Prohibition Bill Certification Chain of Custody Impacts Control access to markets Can enhance market opportunities All add costs who pays?

Increasing amounts of plantation grown teak will become available on global markets Teak consumption by global market leaders is increasing For Lao PDR: China, Thailand and Vietnam are the dominant markets Demand from China is strong and expanding Demand from India is strong and offers opportunities for expansion Vietnam and Thailand need legal wood to meet EUTR and Lacey Act requirements Opportunities for local processing (new regulations) Lao PDR faces competition Confident about the future
