6月17日更新:今天偶然发现一个位于印度泰米尔纳德邦金奈市(旧名马德拉斯,历史上的紫檀木基本从这里装船出口)的进出口贸易公司,名叫“阿巴亚国际”,看简介,是印度南部的进出口龙头企业,主要出口农产品、紫檀木、花岗岩与有机化工原料。这个公司的网站居然有简体中文选项,虽然可能引用的谷歌翻译极其生硬,但是总比纯英文好。

We are authentic exporters of Red Sanders wood and our source of procurement is 100% Legal. Our supply of Red Sanders wood strictly conforms to the general standards prescribed by the Forest Department and is of high quality with deep wavy grains. Our general parameters for procurement of logs are of high standards namely.
Logs perfectly dressed up to heartwood
Logs length not below 150 cm
Logs with top end girth of 36 cm and above
Straight logs
We have direct and personal links with the agricultural farmers, who grow Red Sander trees in their private lands. We guide them to effectively grow sound trees. We help them in getting Government Departmental permits like Revenue Department permits for planting and growing trees and Forest Department permits for cutting well grown trees. We also help them for their social cause needs. Hence, the farmers voluntarily approach us for selling their trees. This enables us to procure good quality trees and to maintain cost effectiveness in our procurement. Hence we have clear edge over other traders. Therefore, we naturally sell at competitive price than any other in the field. We supply wooden planks, chips, and powders etc. as per the specifications of the buyers.
“我们获准出口紫檀木,来源是100%合法的。我们供应的木材严格符合森林管理部门的要求,并且是优质的、具有深深的波纹。我们按照高标准采伐原木:
1)(砍掉白皮)只留下心材
2)长度不低于150厘米
3)小头周长36厘米以上
4)笔直的木材
我们与私有土地上种植紫檀的农民直接进行联系,我们指导他们高效合理的种植。我们帮助他们获得政府颁发的种植和砍伐许可,我们还帮助他们解决一些社会方面的需求。这样,农民自愿把木材销售给我们,保证了木材的质量,也有利于我们降低采购成本。这样我们就比其它公司有明显的优势,在这个行业能够给出更具竞争力的价格。根据买方要求,我们提供木板、木屑和粉末等产品。”
