Formulation of a Project Proposal to Support the Sustainable Development of Small Forest Industrialists

Peru

This pre-project aimed at compiling supplementary information regarding portable sawmills, particularly in relation to the institutional planning of forest areas allocated for long term concessions and for small-scale timber extraction in Peru. The associated land tenure issues for both categories of areas, the experience gained through the operation of portable sawmills, and the technical characteristics of portable sawmills and the timber resources involved were also studied.
