Brazil kicking on

摘要

Now the undisputed world leader in fast-growth plantation forestry and forest products, Brazil is also amassing impressive credentials in advanced genetics, silviculture, wood production and processing. In the first of two special reports for Inwood,regional expert Robert Donnelly establishes the background to this forestry phenomenon. There are many lessons for New Zealand and Australia in terms of plantation forestry achievement in Brazil, and how they have gone about it. There are obvious technology and organisational extensions for countries that have plantation forestry potential but are not achieving significant improvements.
