Jaffirin Lapongan, . and Anuar Mohammad, . and Musa Salleh, . and Kat Kelvin Nyen Pang, . and Ong Robert, . (2015) Progress and issues of forest plantation development in Sabah. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Emphasis on log production has shifted from natural forest to forest plantations due to the declining timber resources from the natural forest. In Sabah forest plantations are generally considered to be area planted with fast-growing or high-quality monocultures that produce high-yielding and short rotation 15 years tree crops. This paper deliberates briefly on the history and progress of forest plantation development in Sabah since its inception. Important statistics of forest plantation development i.e. plantation acreage species planted production by year and species current utilization aspects etc are reported. Some of the impending and critical issues that affect the further progress of forest plantation development are also highlighted and discussed.
