In present scenario many quoting 70-80% of the wood demand of domestic and industries in India is meet out from the agroforestry or wood from farms. We are not having any formal mechanism to get information on agroforestry produce generation and marketing in India. There may in mechanism in others parts of the globe. I would like to know the current status and mechanism of agroforestry wood products in India. This not reflect in forest department or agriculture department/ ministry reports too.There are some industries surveys but that are for paper and pulp and plywood and very sketchy. The sources of information, report or paper related may be please shared.
There is no organized mechanism for wood marketing in India and real and authentic data are not available except for some species like poplar and eucalyptus, etc. Wood is the baby of both forestry and agroforestry and its marketing was difficult forest and environment laws. Please go through the National Agroforestry Policy 2014 for any marketing information, I wonder, if available.
Thanks Dr. Even in new draft of forest policy 2018 is also silent on wood marketing. like forest laws the market rate are not open by forest corporations barring the few states which shows there timber rates on websites.
I have found you an interesting ling that deals about
the status of marketing of agroforestry (wood) products in India.
