Natural teak forests grow in only four countries in the world: India, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. In 2010 their combined area of natural teak forest was estimated at about 29 million hectares (ha), almost half of it growing in Myanmar. Myanmar is the only country that currently produces quality teak from natural forests India, Lao PDR and Thailand have bans on logging in natural forests or on log exports in place.
During the twentieth century, deforestation in Thailand was driven primarily by agricultural expansion, although teak deforestation happened as a direct result of timber-cutting. Much of Thailand's recent economic improvement can be attributed to increased agricultural production for export. The country was able to increase production by clearing much of their forests and converting them to cropland.
In the mid-1800s, Britain began exploiting Thailand's extensive teak forests to build its naval fleet. So began a century and a half of forest destruction, driven first by international demand for timber, then by the expansion of agricultural land. By 1995, the once heavily forested country had less than 25% forest cover.
