Abstract

The forestry industry predominantly depends on privately-owned forests which are foreign-owned, capital intensive and export oriented. The man-made forests cover 102 000 ha, about 6% of the total area of Swaziland. The two largest plantations, Usutu and Peak Timbers, account for 71% of the total plantation area in the Kingdom.
