Forestry Domain
The Forestry Domain (FF), a new domain in the referential, brings together the eight value chains rooted in forests and wooded areas — timber, non-timber forest products, fermented sap beverages, bamboo, reforestation and environmental services.
forestry value chains (FF01–FF08), a new domain — all 'Proposed'
processing levels (N1–N4) applicable to timber, forest honey, NTFPs and bamboo
- Still weakly structured value chains: collection and first-stage processing mostly informal.
- Traceability of the forest resource, a condition for access to formal markets and export.
- By-product recovery (wood offcuts, collection residues) still limited.
- Low-to-medium confidence on this domain: scope and production areas to be checked against the ground (note NS-20260829/DG/XPN-REF1, reservations § 11).
- Structuring of first- and second-stage processing projects (timber, bamboo, NTFPs).
- Compliance and traceability engineering for access to formal markets and export.
- Structuring of bankable reforestation and carbon-credit projects.
- Matchmaking of actors from collection to sales.
8 value chains
Silviculture, logging, sawing and primary wood processing.
Explore →Harvest from wild colonies, no managed hive. Distinct from FA05 (managed-hive beekeeping).
Explore →Njansang, moabi (oil), andok (bush mango) and other gathered products.
Explore →Wild mushrooms, caterpillars and other forest-collected insects.
Explore →Palm wine ("matango", Elaeis guineensis) and raphia wine: natural-stand sap, spontaneous fermentation. Downstream derivatives (odontol, vinegar) excluded.
Explore →Rattan, raphia (material), gum arabic, bark for medicinal/craft use.
Explore →Bamboo growing and processing: construction, furniture, craft trades.
Explore →Agroforestry, reforestation, community management, carbon credits.
