growing tree species in India R C Dhiman Introduction Forestry - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The role of private sector in promoting the culturing of poplar and other fast growing tree species in India R C Dhiman

Introduction • Forestry sector is in concurrent list • Total timber requirement is 123 Million m 3 • Forests provide 3 Million m 3 , half of it comes from salvage marking, import worth Rs. 42000 crore (10 Million=1 crore) annually • Wood raw material supply to WBI from forests not committed post 1988 NFP • Major wood supply now comes from small farms largely promoted by private sector

Role of private sector in tree culture • Produce and supply quality plants • Create demand for farm grown tree produce • R&D on forest trees, AF and efficient wood usage • Develop back-end and front-end support • As a CSR activity • Contribution to science and society • Skill development for self employment • Share knowledge with all stakeholders

R&D on Euca in Private Sector (WS)

Goods from such plantations • Timber/pulpwood : Around 100 Million m 3 • Firewood: 150 Million t( excluding wood wastage from industry) • Employment generation:4000 million man days • Leaf litter: 15 Million t O.M. • Carbon sequestration=60 Million t • other multiplier effects

Private sector balancing wood production from wood surplus to deficit locations

Multiplier effect of such plantations: firewood availability and employment generation

Multiplier effect: River bank rehabilitation, soil conservation and watershed management
