Sufficient trees don’t mean high density instead it means the correct number of trees that can get full nutrients from the land. Please avoid high density to achieve higher cubic feet per tree.

Variety 

Desi and African mahogany are two main varieties found in India. Most people are trapped to pick the false variety. I recommend you to choose only the African variety because it has the most vital demand in the entire world. The African variety needs only 10 to 12 years to mature whereas the desi variety takes 25 years.

Climate conditions

Avoid planting the sapling in snowfall regions. Except for heavy snowfall regions it can grow almost anywhere in any Indian state and in any part of the world. This tree can grow in heavy rainfall regions, humid regions as well as low rainfall regions of Rajasthan. 

Soil

Farmers are growing it in Rajasthan desert soil and some people are growing it in moist Bihar soil. It is a soil-friendly tree and can be grown in almost any kind of soil.

Water

It needs less water in comparison to poplar and teak trees. The first two years are crucial so provide proper water to your plants on a weekly basis. After 2 years you can skip the routine and provide water on a monthly basis.

Cubic feet per tree

A 10-year-old tree contains 19-22 cubic feet and 1000 trees can produce almost 20k cubic feet in one acre of land.  

Mahogany wood price per cubic feet

Rs 600 is the cubic feet rate. If 1000 mahogany trees produce 20,000 cubic feet then Rs 600 x 20,000 cubic feet = Rs 1,20,00000.

Mahogany tree farm income 

By planting 1000 trees per acre farmers can achieve 1 crore 20 lakh by selling them @ Rs 12,000 per tree. The mahogany tree price after 10 years is Rs 15,000. If a farmer is able to sell 1000 trees at Rs 12,000 only then 100 trees x Rs 12,000 = Rs 1 crore 20 lakh.  

Let’s understand the same calculation again in cubic feet. 

1 mahogany tree yields = Average of 19-22 cubic feet of wood.
Let’s take an average of 20 cubic feet per tree. 
If 1000 trees are planted then 1000 trees x 20 cubic feet = 20,000 cubic feet.
Tree yield = 20,000 cubic feet.
Due to less availability and very high demand mahogany cubic feet’ price is Rs 600.
Thus mahogany farming profit = Rs 600 x 20,000 cubic feet = 1 crore 20 lakhs.
Reduce the cost from the profit to get the net profit. 
After reducing the assumpted cost by Rs 20 lakh from the profit farmer still archives Rs 1 crore as a net profit.
