ABSTRACT

The variables affecting demand for teak lumber by wooden furniture factories in Bangkok
were determined and the factories’ demand for teak lumber and the teak reforestation area
required to sustain teak timber supply to the factories for the next 5-year period (2011-2015) were
estimated. The data was collected by a designed questionnaire interview with a sample of
entrepreneurs from 73 factories. Data was analyzed using a statistical software package and the
output represented using frequency, percentage, mean, and a regression equation, with a
significance level of 0.01. The Durbin Watson test was also used for testing the best model.
The results indicated that the average price of teak lumber (highly significant at the 0.01
level) was only one exogenous variable affecting the demand of wooden furniture factories in
Bangkok for teak lumber . In addition, the trend of teak lumber demand during the next 5 year
period (2011-2015) will decline annually. The predicted demand for teak lumber for wooden
furniture converted to timber was 23,016.7 m3 which would require a teak reforestation area of
1,494.6 rai per annum. Based on the Forest Industry Organization’s teak plantation rotation of
30 years, it would require a teak plantation area of 44,838 rai to sustain the requirements of teak
furniture factories in Bangkok. The results of this study could be employed as a guideline for
formulating the extension program for teak reforestation under both government and private agencies
in order to create a teak supply capable of meeting the requirements of the furniture factories in
Bangkok and eventually for the whole country.
