The Federation of Community Forestry Users Nepal (FECOFUN) Gandaki Province is planning to run forest-based industries.
As decided, the FECOFUN Gandaki would establish and operate industries with the investment of Gandaki Province Government, community forest groups, and the private sector.
The endeavor is expected to create employment and generate income for the participants. The wood from the community forests would be used for the production of different raw materials and furniture with modern technology to meet the market demand, President of FECOFUN Gandaki Kalidas Subedi said.
He said that 3,900 community forest users involved in the FECOFUN Gandaki would be encouraged to invest in this venture.
With the investment of more than Rs 200 million, the forest-based industries would prepare composite wood, finger joint wood as well as carry out wood's seasoning and treatment through the processing of different forest produces.
The FECOFUN Gandaki has also extended its gratitude to the Federal Government for scrapping the scientific forest management system and has urged the stakeholders to fully implement the decision.
