Forest industry perspectives in Southeast Asia
Abstract
The essay gives a brief introduction to the general geography, population,
economic development and forest resource situation in Southeast Asia. The
forest products of the region, both timber and minor forest products, are
considered in some detail, whilst the main body (five chapters) of the essay
is devoted to detailing the size, distribution and level of technology of
the various forest industries. Sawmilling, veneer and plywood production,
board-mill processing and the pulp and paper industry are considered in
separate chapters. The concluding perspectives outline the need for development
of general and industrial infrastructure and for regional co-operation
in forest industry planning, as well, giving a brief insight into the effects
of the forest industries on the forest resources of Southeast Asia.
