2 SOUTH AFRICA - WHERE ARE WE? FAO 2 2
3 FAO 3 FORESTRY PRE-1994 Inward looking focus intent on self-sufficiency sufficiency Exclusion from global economy Impacts of afforestation of little concern Environmental and social concerns not an issue Land readily available for planting trees Politics favoured the privileged Unlimited government support (education, research, infrastructure) Conservation focus, exclusion of people from the forest 3
4 FAO 4 FORESTRY POST 1994 Outward looking focus intent on globalization Highly regulated operating environment Limited government support Politics ensures that South Africa part of global dictates Global competition driver of business Impacts of afforestation a major concern Limited land available for forestry Focus on sustainable development and participatory forestry 4
5 LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT FAO 5 South African forestry governed by two acts, The National Forests Act (1998) and the National Veld and Forest Fires Act (1998) The cornerstone of the National Forests Act is sustainable forest management All the provisions are interpreted and applied within the framework of SFM The NFA defines principles to guide decisions affecting forests and also provides for the Minister to promote and enforce SFM through regulation and/or certification The Minister is obliged to monitor and report on the state of the forest resources at least once in three years. The National Veld and Forest Fires Act 1998 was put in place to prevent and combat veld, forest and mountain fires throughout South Africa. A variety of institutions, methods and practices are provided for under the Act for achieving 5 the purposes of the Act.
6 CLIMATE: RAINFALL: LAND USE: SOILS: IMPORTANT SOUTH AFRICAN CHARACTERISTICS Generally temperate (e.g. Warm and Dry) Annual Average ± 460 mm 65% of country less than 500 mm/p.a. Erratic and unreliable Frequent droughts 13% only suitable for cultivation 60% semi-desert (Western parts). Generally poor and unstable FAO 6 POPULATION : Estimated current population 48 million 57% urbanised L.T. growth rate 1.5% p.a. (i.e. double in 40 years) Unemployment rate 30% 46% of population live below poverty datum line 6
7 FAO7 COMPONENTS OF THE FORESTRY SECTOR Non-Commercial (1): Indigenous Forests (2): Woodlands TOTAL LAND COVERAGE Ha s 500,000 42,000,000 42,500,000 % to Total 0.5% 35.0% 35,5% UTILIZATION Recreation Conservation Education Conservation, subsistence, fuel wood Commercial (1): Plantations 1,281,519 1,1% Industrial production fuel wood 7
8 FAO 8 Woodlands contribute the bulk of wooded land area of South Africa The potential area is in the region of 42 million hectares. Approximately 9,2 million people live around these areas and depend on them for goods and services 8
9 SOUTH AFRICA S FOREST RESOURCES FAO 9 Indigenous Forests cover about hectares. Almost three-quarters of this forest type is conserved either as declared State forests or within formal protected areas Access and harvesting of products was typically restricted for decades, until significant policy shifts post 1994 when more participatory policies and programmes came into being 9
10 FAO 10 THE COMMERCIAL FOREST SECTOR IN SOUTH AFRICA 10

12 FAO 12 THE FORESTRY SUB-SECTOR SECTOR 12
13 FAO 26 Availability of suitable land. Competition from Agriculture. Land reform imperative. Water licensing restrictions. Environmental consideration. No tax or afforestation incentive schemes 13
14 S.A s entire timber production comes from plantations of fast growing exotic tree species. Much of the timber estate is now planted with genetically improved material. High growth rates, high stocking rates produce higher levels of tree stress. S.A. is a semi arid country with lower than average rainfall. Most plantations are situated in areas of rainfall of less than 1000 mm/p.a with periods of drought being common. Fire damage is severe. Global trade is increasing, hugely escalating threats of importation of undesirable pests and pathogens. Biocontrol and monitoring at ports of entry lacking. Movement of timber and timber products internally is 14 uncontrolled. FAO 27
15 PESTS AND DISEASES It is estimated that at least 50% of Plantations are affected. Frequency and intensity escalating Lose up to 20,000/p.a. as result. 15 FAO 28
16 DAMAGE TO PLANTATIONS BY FIRES 1980 TO Thousand Hectares Years Total area damaged to ,000 ha Total area damaged by fire to ,000 ha (53%) Average fire damage 1980 to ,300 ha p.a. THE ABOVE SAYS IT ALL FAO
17 (3) CLIMATE CHANGE FAO 30 CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A MYTH, IT IS A REALITY Recommendations from S.A. Forestry Climate Change Study. (1): Seriously consider mixing species. (2): Match species to site for both soil and climate reasons. (3): Include climate change predictions in species selection. (4): increase research into temperature tolerant and drought resistant hybrids. (5): Increase research efforts on climate change. BUT REPORT SAYS (1): Hybrids more robust than commonly planted species. (2): Pinus family is most robust to climate change 17

31 CONCLUSIONS FAO 44 (1): The FTPP cluster makes a significant contribution to the S.A. economy. (2): Pro-poor development potential is inherent in the cluster and BBBEE opportunities are considerable. (3): Growth in downstream processing is dependent on growth in plantations. (4): Economic and socio-economic benefits far outweigh environmental costs. (5): Inequities in the water regulatory environment in particular are impacting on development potential of the cluster and need to be reconsidered. A sector growth and development strategy must be 31 developed and implemented
32 FOREST SECTOR CHALLENGES 1. Greater equity in the entire value chain 2. Increase in the local supply of roundwood to underpin growth throughout the value chain 3. Sustainable supply and better utilisation of limited sawtimber resources 4. Increased local beneficiation 5. Greater empowerment and profitability of existing small scale forest enterprises FAO Linking forestry as a rural based industry with poverty eradication and local economic development 32
33 OPPORTUNITIES FAO 46 Forestry Transformation Charter Sector agreement on Charter as medium term strategy for forestry Growth and transformation charter Addresses sector challenges Growth of sector Roundwood shortage Land reform Skills shortage Access to finance for emerging entrepreneurs Forest protection Research and innovation Local beneficiation Empowerment of emerging black entrepreneurs 33
