When we want to have a party or some activity in our garden, you must provide not only food and drinks. But, the garden furniture is also important thing that you must have. There’re many choices of garden furniture that we can found these days. But, garden furniture that made of Teak wood is still the best one. Indonesia is the place where all of this teak wood furniture imported. And the furniture industry in this country has growth and reached its peak level. Many countries imported teak wood furniture from Indonesia and they believe that the product that they get from this country is the best one.

The rise of Indonesian teak furniture industry was happened after Asia monetary crisis in 1997. The value of Rupiah has reached the lowest level and that make the price for this furniture become lot cheaper that it used to be. But, that’s not the condition that makes many country import teak wood furniture from Indonesia. Indonesia is also known as the country that has lot of teak wood supplies, with biggest tropical forest in Asia. That makes the teak wood manufacturer in Indonesia can get the raw material that they need easily. However, today, the teak wood furniture in Indonesia has some problem and it might become the worst condition that Indonesia teak wood industry has to face. Before monetary crisis, many Indonesia teak wood manufactures, either big or small one, can easily get raw material from illegal logging. But now, with stricter control from PERHUTANI, the government department that control uses of forest commodity, there’re almost no more illegal logging. This is actually good condition. But, with the market demand of the same teak wood furniture quality and price or cheaper price, many manufacturer need to think new way to get this material or they have to close down their business. And you should know, the price for teak wood has tripled, if we compared with its price 7 or 8 years ago.

But, that’s not only the problem that Indonesia teak wood furniture manufacture has to deal with. Malaysia, which has fewer teak wood supply compared to Indonesia, also becomes one of the biggest exporters of teak wood furniture. With the pressure coming from outside and competitor, also condition in Indonesia that Indonesia teak wood furniture manufacture has to deal with, the end of successful journey of Indonesia teak wood industry has been seen clearly.
