IV. Markets and Socio-Economics

• The averaged increasing of Thailand’s population is 1.2 % per year. In 1985, Thailand has 53 million populations and increased to 61

million in 1999, • therefore, the demand in wood and wood products consumption increased every year.

• The country’s capacity to produce and reforest cannot meet the demand so the price of wood

and wood products still high.

• The Forestry Act 1941 for protect the selection cutting and illegal logging. The

mentioned law did not support to the present wood industry development.

• The act improvement is quite difficult and more complex, thus the promulgated

the new act is the success way, for example The Forest Plantation Act 1992

• Wood shortage is still a major problem for related industries.

• At present, there is an attempt to develop • Rubberwood species for timber,

• high yield of fiber from Eucalyptus, including to add more value for wood from plantation to

furniture and flooring industries. • Teak from thinning period is found to be too

small and low recovery rate

VII. Overview and Conclusion

• Thailand has a privilege for plantation due to its location.

• Only 4-6 years for fast growing species and 30-40 years for normal

trees, harvesting can be done

Model of Wood Utilization

• The best way to use a tree is to consider how to efficiently use every part of the tree such as root, stump, log and branches, which manufacturing

process has to be employed. Wood may be dried and preserved to make it strong and last longer time.

• Lapwood can be used for tools, wood products, parquet, woodfuel, charcoal and chipwood. Stumps and branches can be used as woodfuel

and chipwood, as well, for large scale of industries of wood chemical products, pulp and paper, fiberboard, which made from chipwood through defibration process. Chipwood, also can be dissolved into

particle, without defibrator, mixed with resin and cement for particleboard and wood cement board, respectively.

• Timber can be added for highest value by using as veneer or plywood. Core and lapwood from the veneer process can be used as chipwood.

Moreover some parts of wood from the process can be raw material for carving as well. Small log can be used as poles for construction.

• As mentioned above, the uses of wood will be efficient and intelligent if there are industries to support or so called “Integrated Wood Industries”.

VII. Overview and Conclusion

• Due to economic crisis in Thailand, last 5 years there was decreasing of wood and

wood products.

• On the other hand export of such was increasing.

• This may be results from industrial and economic reform.

VII. Overview and Conclusion

• At present, • there is a concept to encourage local people to

live on their feet. • The attitudes of using local products or their

household products are arising. • The government has also launched a campaign

namely “One village, one product” to promote indigenous knowledge to create their own

specific product.

VII. Overview and Conclusion

• For International Role on wood industry, • Thailand has joined the Commission on Sustainable

Development (CSD) to pursue sustainable wood industries and make an agreement done on February

1997 in New York,

• following the proposal of Open-ended adhoc Intergovernmental Panel on Forests (IPF) to conduct

sustainable forest management for wood industry in all aspect;

• business, environment, products and services from the forest.
