Dear Reader: For the past 30 years, PCARRD has steadfastly provided the directions in developing and modernizing the agriculture, forestry, and natural resources sectors to meet the country’s ever-challenging demands for food security, economic growth, and sustainable development. In order to keep a top-caliber research system, PCARRD has streamlined its R&D efforts by pursuing important commodities on crops, livestock, agricultural resource management, forestry and environment, and socioeconomics. To this end, PCARRD has come up with this special publication, R&D Status and Directions (2000 and Beyond), composed of different volumes. Each volume provides essential information on the R&D status and directions of a specific commodity prioritized by PCARRD and the National Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Network (NARRDN). This volume specifically discusses wood production forest. PCARRD hopes that the information contained in this book will pave the way to more focused R&D work on this commodity.
Very truly yours, PATRICIO S. FAYLON Executive Director
