Default Its not teak!

The Acacia mangium is a native of Australia & Asia commonly known as Black Wattle and belongs to Acacia i.e Babul variety and NOT the teak (Tectona) which we know as a tree with high timber value. The economic returns projected seems very attractive. However it will be worth knowing the actual market prices, any if anyone has actually harvested and sold the trees in the market.
