Star Paper Mills Limited
Social Farm Forestry
In order to build sustainable raw material supply at optimum cost, your company started Social/Farm Forestry programme, and so far plantations have been developed covering over 44,000 ha of farmlands. Presently company is sourcing 92% of its raw material supply from farm forestry plantations. There are plans to accelerate the plantation activity to a level of 10,000 ha per annum. More than 300 lacs seedlings were distributed among the farmers ( on annualized basis) under review.
In order to give impetus to wood yield from plants, your company started tree improvement programme through clonal technology. The demand for high yielding clones is increasing rapidly and these clones are expected to replace the low yielding plantation. This will help is not only augmenting raw material supply but also raise farm productivity and rural incomes.
To meet the increasing demand of high yielding clonal plants your company has started an additional facility for clonal multiplication.
