Forestry and the forest industry in Japan
Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan
Today I'm going to do a presentation about a book called ,,Forestry and the Forest Industry in
Japan", edited by Yoshiya Iwai.

Participants in private forestry are classified into six categories: forestry households;
companies; shrines and temples; joint holdings; various groups and cooperatives; and habitual
joint holdings. Except for shrines and temples, these groups manage forests to produce
income. In general, these forests are not very large: the average forest area per establishment
was 3.7 ha in 1990. Groups operating forests of less than 100 ha control 67% of the total area.
