### Which wood is best for Indian export furniture?

Mango and acacia offer good value, sheesham gives rich grain and strength, and teak suits premium and outdoor pieces.

### Where is cane furniture made in India?

Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh is a known cane and bamboo furniture centre, and Assam, Tripura and other North East states are major sources of bamboo and cane craft.

### Is mango wood sustainable?

Mango wood usually comes from orchard trees that no longer bear fruit, so it is widely seen as a sustainable choice.
