Following the ban in logging of natural forests in 1989, Thailand instituted a number of measures to promote private sector involvement in forest plantations. Small farmholders were encouraged to invest in forest plantations, especially by raising long rotation indigenous timber species. While the programme achieved much enthusiasm at the start, only about 40 percent of the planned 1.2 million hectares were planted despite the provision of various incentives. The Royal Forest Department followed this up with other measures which likewise did not fare well and hence sought the assistance of FAO in developing a well-defined national strategy to promote tree cultivation in private lands to meet the demand in wood supply. This publication documents the outcome and recommendations of the FAO Technical Cooperation Programme project begun in 2009 entitled “Participation of Tree Plantation Farmers in Sustainable Forest Management”.
