FOREST PLANTATIONS

on August 28, 2022

Teak is one of the oldest form of timber in the world.It is noted for its' use for electrical poles but teak as a timber has numerous uses.Teak plantation is not natural as compared to other trees, it has to be cultivated in order to realise it full quantities.For a teak tree to mature, it takes between 20-50 years, this has made its' cultivation unattractive, because farmers cannot wait for that long years before reaping their benefits.Teak in Ghana is cultivated in smallholder farms,it is normally mixed with other crops on the same farmland. Teak has the potential of changing the economic life of farmers just like any other cash crop.Just as farmers deliberately cultivate cash crops, farmers must deliberately take teak plantation as a full scale activity before they can realise it rich benefits.Try teak plantation today and your life will never be the same.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES

The Conference’s theme “Global Teak Market: Challenges and Opportunities for Emerging Markets and Developing Economies” will focus on economic, social, technical and environmental issues that have an impact on the production, marketing and trade of teakwood. The scientific programme is developed in 5 major sessions that encompasses all aspects of teak plantation management, genetics, marketing and trade, community farming and forest landscape restoration. The sessions are designed to highlight the problems faced by the teak sector and develop appropriate solutions. The 4th World Teak Conference would be a great opportunity to facilitate the transfer of knowledge, develop strategies in a post COVID scenario and develop business opportunities in the teak sector. To further the Conference Themes, thematic papers were developed on key aspects in each theme and presented here for the benefit of our teak stake holder

COMMUNITY FORESTRY

Ghana has experienced an astronomical increase in illegal mining within most of our forest and this has depleted most of the natural forest.Subsistence farming is also one of the factors that sometimes destroys the natural forest.Most farmers in our part of the wolrd would always prefer to cut down trees to cultivate cash crops in order to make a living.These alarming activities deplete the natural forest gradually, depriving wildlife of its habitat. Wood as a form of fossil fuel is also used widely in our part of the world instead of green energy, the devastating effects of these practices destroys the forest and it does not support the global fight against climate change and global warming. Our foremost mandate as an organisation is to put protect and pragmatic measures such community sensitization on afforestation, reforestation, Agroforestry and forest plantation in order to restore and conserve the ecosystem.All these measures are employed with research being the pivot.Forest s...
