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 m3
• Forests provide 3 Million m3 , 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 m3
• 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

• Sr. No. Tree part

Use 1 Leaves/ foliage Fodder, and firewood on chipping 2 Bark Firewood, and carrier for mosquito quails etc. 3 Branches Firewood, pulpwood and timber 4 Stem Timber, firewood, and pulpwood 5 Roots Firewood, and timber

Intensive use of tree parts: A case of poplar

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
