India is very rich in its forest wealth having an immense area under forests. Fortunately, all varieties of forest growth are in India, ranging from the tropical deciduous forest of high elevation forests of coniferous evergreen and deciduous plantations, but unfortunately the forest resources of India is low because of "population growth and other causes.sound principles of forest policy, management, timber production and conservation have been introduced by an Act of the Legislature in 1845, and since Indian forests are managed on scientific and progressive. Large areas have an abundance of some of the best timber for plywood, plywood and decorative Indian teak, rosewood and Padauk are renowned for their beauty of form, texture and consistency.
Gurjan, Vellapine, Hollock Hollong and wood are just some of the Indians are used to make a good trade off. This continued loss of natural forest resources of the country due to various consumption of solid wood, it was decided to retain the natural forest resources from reconstituted wood products such as plywood, chipboard, particle board and fibreboard medium density to meet the growing demand for wood consumption in general, railways, defense, furniture, manufacturers of rolled products and manufacturers. At the same time try to meet the demand for wood products that are similar to bamboo wood.
According to a report published by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion cons of plywood, veneers of all types and other wood-based panels such as particleboard, medium density fiber were seen delicensed Department of Industrial Policy and promotion of press note No. 11 (1997Series) dated July 17, 1997.
He also mentioned that the plywood are the largest segment of the wood based industry in the country, contractors seeking government approval to create a project based on wood must obtain permission from the Ministry of Environment and Forests before submitting the application to the Department of Administration / SIA and enclose a copy of "in principle" approval from the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
He also stated that the notification date of 22/01/2007 most wooden objects have been dereserved, excluding wooden furniture and accessories. As the current Export & Import Policy, the main raw material, ie., Newspapers are freely importable into OGL. The total production of plywood in 2006-07 was 54,45,857 sq. Mt and production in 2007-08 (till December) was 43,38,998 sq. Mt in 2006-07 particle production was 44,76,704 sq. Mt and production in 2006-07 (to December) was 47,60,457 sq. Mt export and import of plywood in 2006-07 was Rs.126.25 crore and Rs.57.62 crore respectively. Export and Import of particle board in 2006-07 was Rs.18.86 crore and Rs.148.64 crore respectively.
Views of United Nations
A new report published by the United Nations said that among the global financial crisis and the collapse of the housing sector are a severe blow to the timber industry, but not necessarily good news for Forest world. Please note that housing starts in the United States has been more than halved between 2006 and 2008. Several other countries, particularly in Western Europe, have experienced similar declines.
"The demand for wood is unlikely to reach the peak of 2005-2006 again in the foreseeable future, FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization)," State of the World's Forests 2009 "report said. He also mentions scale production is widespread in almost all countries and all industries of timber, by registering a sawmill to produce wood panels, pulp, paper and furniture. Countries that are heavily dependent on U.S. market like Brazil and Canada have already been seriously affected, adding the demand for wood fiber in North America alone was expected to fall by more than 20 million tons this year.
However, reduced demand for wood would be good news for the world's forests disappear, the FAO said that the economic crisis could reduce investment in the sustainable management of forests and encourage illegal logging. A more general concern is that some governments might dilute the ambitious green earlier or postpone major decisions related to mitigation of future climate change, "the report refers. He said that the EU action to combat against climate change, including the auctioning of allowances, were joined a resistance, and the UN REDD plan that allows you to use carbon credits to save tropical forests could face similar problems . Globally, forest loss is of 7.3 million hectares (18,040,000 acres) per year between 2000 and 2005, the equivalent of 200 square kilometers per day, according to UN figures. Deforestation is responsible for 20 percent of carbon emissions by humans.
Conclusion
However, among the various reports and suggestions on some of the proposals came from the Advisory Committee on Paper and wood products, who say that the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has become an obstacle in the commercial paper for Indian companies. Like most of the raw material is obtained from the farms and agro-forestry, farmers (a very large number in the execution of hundreds of thousands of small businesses) is practically impossible to form groups and get FSC certification. While the logging company has a sustainable model, promoted by the paper industry, the FSC principles and criteria are difficult to fulfill for the certificate. In this regard, the Indian government plans to create Indian Forest Stewardship Council to assist the certification process.
Second, the research to take control of diseases and pests Semio chemical, biological control of pests breaks that reduce the survival and productivity of eucalyptus plantations. Forest research institutes, agricultural universities and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research with the Indian Paper Manufacturers Association (IPMA) have developed a plan and strategy for control measures and the introduction of new genetic material (species ), to fight against this threat in order to ensure the availability of wood raw materials in an ongoing and sustainable.
