What major benefit did the Dutch get by controlling teak forests?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Regular supply of valuable timber for shipbuilding and revenue from it

Teak was strong, durable and water-resistant, making it especially useful for shipbuilding. By controlling teak forests, the Dutch secured a steady supply of valuable timber and earned revenue through its extraction and trade. Option B is incorrect because colonial forest control restricted, rather than fully protected, villagers' customary forest rights. Exam tip: link colonial forest policies with state control over resources, revenue and the needs of transport or shipbuilding.
