Based on recent estimates, the average demand for wood at 1.39 m3/year/capita surpasses the average annual allowable cut at 0.95 m3/year/capita. The annual wood supply deficit in Tanzania is estimated to be 19.5 million m3. Underlying causes for the wood supply gap include: weak value chains that undermine market access, unsustainable wood production, and harvesting practices. Policies targeted at strengthening the institutional capacity of the forestry sector at local and national levels are suggested to increase the share contribution of the sector to the national economy. To foster small-scale wood production, government needs to expedite efforts in tenure security, and make financial services, extension services, and market information accessible to farmers. Continuous collaboration between the government and actors in the wood value chain is crucial. This policy brief is intended for forest and natural-resource policymakers, wood industrial sector, non-governmental organizations, and academia dealing with the forestry and wood sector in Tanzania.:Key Messages: Page 1
