The forestry and forest industries sector possesses a number of economic and technical characteristics which enable it to act as an important base for economic growth and to play a. decisive role in the attack on underdevelopment. However, despite this and the fact that more than half of the world's forests are located in the developing countries, it is evident that this sector is making a much smaller contribution to the improvement of their national economies than its potential warrants.
