For TATF tree owners, it is very important to understand:

1.Why TATF/Raleo/TAH value-add, particularly for younger teak trees, is so important for our IRR. And, that there is no TATF obligation to value-add.

2.Why, under normal circumstances, selling only logs does not maximize IRR.

3.What "h&p" cost actually covers: only felling, sectioning, milling, & air-drying--nothing else.

4.When, and if, "care & management fees" are deducted from tree owner proceeds.

5.What TATF projections actually assume.

6.Not TATF, but another entity, bought the clear-cut/flooded trees under separate agreements with individual tree owners--made in advance.

For the previous few posts, it seems these key concepts in our TATF agreements, are not clearly understood.
