ZAMCARGO, Kurasini, Dar es Salaam
This video just in (filmed earlier this month):
Teak is the only hardwood timber that can be exported in log form from Dar es Salaam, in Tanzania.
However, the timber that you see in the video is quite clearly another hardwood species, and not teak. The exportation of other timber species in logs is illegal in Tanzania. The material being stuffed into containers have been cut into cants, the export of which is prohibited under FBD regulations.
