According to the Natural Resources Development
Corporation Limited (NRDCL), this year Bhutan’s target supply of timber is 2.3
million cu ft (2 million cu ft in 2011) for commercial purposes against the
demand of 5 million cu ft. Of the targeted demand, it has already met 40
percent by the month of May. For timber harvest, government has deemed 14
percent of the total forests cover of the country but NRDCL is exploiting only
8 percent for harvesting and remaining area lies under Department of Forest for
planning and preparation.
