ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF

For Master of Science (Agriculture) Honours

TITLE: MARKETING OF AGROFORESTRY PRODUCTS IN SINDH

PROVINCE OF PAKISTAN

Pakistan is a forest poor country with very low cover of five percent of the total land as compared to the recommended level of 20-25 percent. Thus, agroforestry can help in achieving the national target of forest cover and in meeting the rising demand for wood and wood products. It is referred as plantation of trees on private agricultural land with main products; timber, mining-timber, fire-wood, pods, flowers, gum, forage etc., where as the major products are timber, mining-timber and firewood. Furthermore, it would not only generate additional income to farmers but it will also reclaim the soil conditions and is the main source of environmental benefits. In Pakistan, agroforestry contributes 46% of timber and 90% of firewood requirements whereas 14% of timber and 10% of firewood are being met from state forest only. Marketing structure and its efficiency determine how the consumer rupee is distributed among producer and different middlemen. The lower returns to the producers and high marketing margins to middlemen may result in inefficient agroforestry production system.

Key words: Sindh, Agroforestry, Marketing system,
