Forest Products Development Board (FPDB) sells roundwood, fuelwood and poles harvested from its own plantations. Established in 1975, FPDB is a semi-autonomous body. FPDB has established plantations by clearing degraded Sal (Shorea robusta) forest and other forest types and replacing them with fast growing species such as Eucalyptus, Tectona grandis and Dalbergia sissoo. Forest products include roundwood, fuelwood, poles for transmission lines, wood residue (locally known as koro) and raw materials for the particle board industry.
