Forest & forest products

Forest nurseries, seeds and seedlings, felling and skidding equipment: without these neither planting nor harvesting begins.

Holders of a harvesting right — concession and forest management unit, sale of standing volume, permit — and the artisanal operators working those perimeters.

Community and council forests: the resource managed by the village community or the council, under a renewable management agreement.

Gatherers and collection groups: wild honey, njansang, moabi, bush mango, mushrooms, caterpillars, rattan, gum, palm and raffia sap.

From sawing to fourth-stage processing: cutting, drying, joinery, furniture, flooring, and the valorisation of offcuts into charcoal.

Traders and exporters of timber and forest products, and the documentary chain that proves origin — national traceability, legality, European deforestation requirements.

Inventory and management plans, mapping and plot geolocation, sustainable management certification, legality audits.

The forest administration, reforestation bodies, allocating councils and the programmes that regulate, fund and monitor the sector.
