A number of reforestation and tree-planting campaigns have been launched. Planting rates during the period 1981-1990 (4th, 5th and 6th Plans) reached 40 000 ha per year and rose to 160 000 ha per year in 2006 during the 9,h Plan. As a result of the plantation programme, timber and pulpwood are mainly produced from plantations of fast-growing tree species and a limited area of teak, mainly planted by the Forest Industry Organization (FIO) (Emmanoch 2015). Delux (2015) suggested that the Forestry Administration designated 96 000 ha for plantation development, of which 14 000 ha have been planted to date.
