1 Will present results from a combination of market related studies, trials and demonstration sites, grower adoption surveys Example of tea! EXPERIENCES iN COMMERCIAL FORESTRY DEVELOPMENT: ACHIEVEMENTS, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES simon Milledge, Ijumaa singo, Emmanuel Sangalali tAFORI 1st SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE ON FORESTRY RESEARCH FOR SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY April 2018

2 plantation forestry is a growth sector, driven by economic opportunity
Demand for wood products to continue to grow, doubling between 2013 and 2035 Driven largely by construction, furniture and paper sectors. Remains a challenge of poor quality products reaching the market and risk of substitution and imports (trade deficit) Industrial growth and job creation is heavily reliant on wood-based products - Construction – timber, cement - Rural electrification - Furniture - Retail (paper, packaging) - Commodities – tea, tobacco Forecast of wood products consumption in Tanzania 2035

3 Small-medium private forestry a key supply source for the sector
Plantation ownership 2013 2016 State/TFS (nationwide): 83,695 100,368 Large scale private (nationwide) 43,054 51,327 Small scale tree growers (S. highlands) 169,165 174,143 Grand Total 295,914 325,838 Small and medium scale tree growers 54% by area (68% in SH) and 43% by volume >60,000 private growers in Southern Highlands Tanzania trade balance of wood products in 2013

4 If current practice continues, the supply deficit will grow
Supply deficit increases greatly after 2025 to a supply gap of 3 million m³ (rwe) in 2035 Gap mostly large diameter sawlogs for sawn timber and veneer production (1.4 million m³) and wood fibre for pulp and particle/fibre board (1 million m³) (Business As Usual scenario)

5 Enabling tree survival and growth
Economic incentives Effective sector services Technical improvements Market demand Private ownership - benefits Selection of right species Use of quality planting material Adopting good silviculture Private and public roles Supportive policy

6 Potential for Significant gains to be made
Examples of value creation interventions for sawn timber: Improved seed increase in productivity – 27% (FDT) Better practice improved productivity – 36% (FDT) Lengthening rotations – 50% reduction supply gap (Unique) Processing recovery – ‘ding dong’ vs. horizontal band saw 37% vs. 47% (PFP) Price premium for high quality timber - 27% (PFP)

7 Impact of different silvicultural practices on volume increment

8 Advanced Collaborative public-private tree improvement programme established
10 partners, 19 sites, 3 climatic zones ( m) 65 genetic trials, >100 varieties 6 breeding populations, 4 seed orchards

9 early trial results show new varieties with commercial potential

10 Key ingredients for sustainable tree improvement
Effective coordination Clear strategy Quality control Adequate resourcing

11 PRIVATE SECTOR DELIVERY OF sector serviceS IMPROVED
SEED DISTRIBUTION SEEDLING PRODUCTION CONTRACTOR SERVICES ADVISORY SERVICES TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIERS

12 Improved planting material adoption trend among private tree growers in SH

13 Improved silviculture adoption trend among private tree growers in SH
AWARENESS ADOPTION 13

14 PRIMARY challenges AFFECTING SECTOR
Mostly domestic market - low value addition and limited reward of quality Quality concerns driving imports and substitutes for some products Sub-optimal planting material and practices – public and private Dispersed nature of relatively poor quality wood supply Limited investment in efficient harvesting and processing technology Limited coordination around research, fire, pests and disease Gap between industry needs and commercial forestry skills and training Limited finance for forestry investments (including tree improvement) High costs due to weak road and electricity infrastructure Public policy and enabling environment for private commercial forestry

15 Summary of main messages
ENABLING TREE SURVIVAL AND GROWTH REQUIRES ACHIEVEMENTS Strong public-private collaboration (tree improvement) Development of sector services (supply of planting material, woodlot/plantation contractor services) Increasing trend in adoption of improved planting material and silviculture practices CHALLENGES Sector coordination, sustainable funding Enabling policy environment for private forestry OPPORTUNITIES Growing wood markets and supply deficit Diverse value chains and inclusive nature Good tree growing conditions and potential for productivity improvements Economic incentives Effective sector services Technical improvements
