(Baonghean.vn) - Taking advantage of favorable weather, many localities in Nghe An are currently making efforts to close the autumn forest planting season, including a number of forestry units implementing large timber forest planting.

Mr. Nguyen Hong Lam - Head of Forest Use and Development Department, Forest Protection Department said: Up to now, the whole province has planted over 13,000 ha/17,000 ha of forest. Of which, more than 1,000 ha of large timber material forest has been planted, concentrated in Quy Chau, Nghia Dan, Quy Hop, and Que Phong districts.

It is expected that by the end of the forest planting period on October 31, Nghe An will plant about 1,200 large timber forests.

Since 2008, the State has had a policy to encourage people to plant forests to produce large timber according to Decision 147/2007/QD-TTg to increase income for forest workers, especially people in highland areas, while contributing to environmental and ecological protection.

Planting large timber forests requires at least twice as much care and protection time as planting small timber forests, leading to a long exploitation and capital recovery process, not to mention that borrowing capital to plant forests is not easy. Therefore, currently, mainly agricultural and forestry companies carry out large timber planting.

To increase the area of ​​large timber plantations, it is necessary to have incentive policies on preferential credit loans, convenient for organizations, households and individuals.

The investment rate for planting large timber forests is over 20 million VND/ha with costs including digging holes with excavators to ensure depth, investing in fertilizers and seeds to ensure technical processes.

It is estimated that on average, each hectare of large timber forest will yield 180 - 200 tons of timber with 250 - 300 million VND/cycle/10 years.
