KOTA KINABALU: Two of the world’s leading experts on tree plantation health are scheduled to speak in a symposium on Industrial Tree Plantation (ITP) here this Thursday (July 7).
To be held at the Sabah International Convention Centre , the event themed"Developing Resilient Industrial Tree Plantations In Sabah: Forestry Pests & Diseases", will feature Prof Mike Wingfield from South Africa and Dr Simon Lawson from Australia.ITP is an essential industry which ensures that sectors of land are cultivated with trees in order to ensure continual wood flow that will meet increasing industry demands while conserving natural forests.
This is to help them compete in the market dominated by industry giants from Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, China and South Africa. "For companies in Sabah with considerably smaller areas under ITP, our competition is not with each other but with overseas countries in the region for further afield. BFC was founded in 2009 that runs programs which initially commenced with the basics of establishing breeding populations and Best Operational Practices.
There will also be a signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the BFC and Sabah Forestry Department with the objective to strengthen, promote and develop research cooperation between parties on the basis of equitable and mutual benefit.
