The huge demand for infrastructure will inevitably drive a sharp increase in India's domestic timber demand. \u3000\u3000<\/em><\/p>\n

In recent years, the Indian government has begun to focus on the construction of domestic infrastructure. Huge investment is planned in the construction of electricity, roads, railways, aviation, urban infrastructure, commercial buildings, residential buildings, ports, water conservancy facilities, mining, and oil and gas. It can be seen that the next 5 to 10 years will be the peak period of infrastructure construction in India.<\/p>\n

However, India\u2019s policy towards the timber industry over the years has led to the inability to provide long-term and stable supply of timber raw materials within India to support the long-term layout of India\u2019s infrastructure plans.<\/p>\n

Although India is rich in forest resources, India\u2019s recorded forest area (RFA) and trees outside the forest (TOF) area are 76.74 million hectares and 29.38 million hectares, accounting for 23.3% and 8.9%, respectively. Among them, logs and sawn timber can be produced in large quantities. However, local production capacity cannot meet domestic demand. The Indian National Forest Policy (NFP) in 1952 envisaged that forests would meet the raw material needs of the wood industry, while the National Forest Policy in 1988 shifted the focus to forest protection. Most of the rural areas covered by green plants in India are mainly planted with mango, kiwi, eucalyptus, rubber, stone pine and poplar. As a result, the production capacity of Indian forests has been greatly restricted.<\/p>\n

As one of the largest timber consumers, the annual logging volume of forest timber in India has dropped from 10 million cubic meters in 1970 to the current 3 million cubic meters. This figure cannot support India's huge annual consumption of wood. Currently, there is still a gap of 14 million cubic meters of wood raw materials every year.<\/p>\n

In order to meet the demand for large amounts of timber, India has opened its timber import policy since 1990. The total imports of logs and sawn timber from 2019 to 2020 reached 6 million cubic meters. India has achieved self-sufficiency in the production of small wood, but due to the shortage of large wood in the forest, it still relies heavily on imported wood. Imported timber mainly comes from Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Gabon, Brazil, Panama and New Zealand.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
