Timber Flows and their Control in Thailand

This study has been undertaken to provide an understanding of the domestic, imported and exported timber flows in Thailand, and their control through the Royal Forestry Department (RFD) and other government agencies. The study aims to inform preparation for the Government of Thailand’s potential negotiations with the European Union (EU) on a Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA), as part of the EU’s Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) action plan.
