Caribbean Pine

Pinus caribaea

FSC-certified plantation source — Fiji's pine has been FSC-certified since 2013

Fiji's workhorse plantation softwood — fast-grown, versatile and FSC-certified since 2013. Easy to work, easy to treat, ready for structural and joinery use.

Caribbean Pine (Pinus caribaea) timber

Fiji’s most certified timber

Caribbean pine, Pinus caribaea, is the backbone of Fiji’s plantation forestry — fast-growing, abundant, and managed across the country’s drier western zones. It is also Fiji’s longest-certified timber: the national pine plantation operation has held FSC certification since 2013, earned under pressure from demanding international buyers and maintained ever since.

For buyers, that means a genuinely certified softwood with a proven, decade-long chain of custody behind it.

A versatile, treatable softwood

Pine is the timber that does the unglamorous work well. It saws, machines, nails and glues with no fuss, and — importantly — takes preservative treatment readily, which lifts a moderately durable softwood into a dependable material for structural framing, exterior joinery, fencing and landscaping.

The timber is a pale honey colour with clear, straight grain and a clean, even texture. It finishes well when a painted or stained result is wanted, and its consistency makes it a reliable choice for high-volume joinery and packaging.
