Earlier Report Observations

From 2018, Nepal's non-coniferous roundwood market volume began a steady annual decline, coinciding with the implementation of the National Forest Policy 2018 and the National Agriculture Forestry Policy 2019. These policies emphasized sustainable forest management, participatory approaches, and support for agro-forestry, leading to more conservative harvesting practices that reduced the overall supply of roundwood.

The downward trend continued as regulatory bodies like the Department of Forests and Soil Conservation maintained their mandate for resource conservation and oversight. By 2022, the State of Nepal's Forests report reinforced the commitment to sustainable development through forestry activities, supporting a consistently shrinking market volume through the period.

By 2023, the market had contracted to 12 561 thousand m³, reflecting the cumulative effect of conservation-oriented policies and regulatory frameworks aimed at balancing economic use with the preservation of forest ecosystems over the six-year span.
