Global Tree Farm and Managed Forest Industry provides data on growing and harvesting costs, as well as expected yields for planted forests in many countries on a comparable basis. In addition, the report provides an overview of native forest and plantation forest resources in each country, including data on planting and timber harvest trends.
This study will answer the following pertinent questions to help your organization make important investment decisions:
- Why is investment money being allocated to different regions?
- Where should I invest?
- What returns can I expect?
- Where will future wood supplies likely be sourced, and at what cost?
Tree farms (plantations) are increasingly being viewed as the key wood supply
resource of the future. Not surprisingly, an increasing number of players in the timber
industry are looking at developing tree farms, often in new regions and with relatively
unproven species. But this type of investment can require a different kind of analysis,
incorporating political and economic factors as well as direct costs and biological
growth rates.
RISI’s Global Tree Farm and Managed Forest
Industry study can answer the following
pertinent questions to help organizations to
make these important investment decisions:
Why is investment money being allocated to
different regions?
Which regions are most attractive for
timberland investment?
What are the expected growing costs and
returns for the most important plantation
species in different countries?
Where will future wood supplies likely be
sourced, and at what cost?
This report provides data on growing and harvesting costs, as well as expected
yields for planted forests in many countries on a comparable basis. In addition,
the report provides an overview of native forest and plantation forest resources in
each country, including data on planting and timber harvest trends. Major forest
owners in each country are identified. The report also rates each country on its
attractiveness for investment in planted forests based on a series of economic,
financial, political and biological criteria. By combining country attractiveness
with expected financial returns from planted forest investments, the report will
help readers to identify those countries with the best long-term potential for forest
plantation investment and industry development.
