Production and Marketing of Forest Produce

Forest closely links human activities with nature. Similar to Agriculture, forests also reveal the wealth of a nation. Investment in Forestry and realisation of returns is taken care of by the State. Employment opportunities in the forestry sector are widening as the result of diversification, value addition, waste land development and bio-revolution. This book exposes to the readers the principles of production economics, farm planning, budgeting, marketing and institutional support for forestry. Contents of this book would benefit the entrepreneurs who venture into forest production, diversification and forest based small scale enterprises. It is also that this book will meet the curriculum requirements in the under graduate forestry degree programme.
