WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO ACCELERATE TREE PLANTING BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR? WORKSHOP ON THE IMPACT OF INCENTIVES ON PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA

摘要

Experiences in plantation development in the Asia-Pacific region have been mixed. Although the area under plantations has increased considerably in some countries, progress in others has been disappointing. To better understand the reasons for the mixed results, the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) commissioned a regional study on the effectiveness and impacts of incentives on plantation development. The study included nine case studies from countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The results provide guidance in policy formulation to those countries interested in providing incentives to large- and small-scale investors in forest plantations.
