We wanted to expose smallholder teak farmers to intensive teak production practices and teak processing industries. We arranged visits to teak processing factories in Jepara, Perum Perhutani plantations, the Teak Improvement Centre in Cepu, government and private tree nurseries in Bunder, Gunung Kidul district, and community teak plantations in neighbouring villages in Playen subdistrict. We organised a focus group discussion with farmers to discuss the management practices observed during the exchange visit and results of the household survey.
