The growing concerns over the last two decades about the
environmental and socio-economic impacts of illegal logging and
associated trade has led to the development of tools and measures
aimed at tackling the problem. One of such global measures is the
certification of forest products the requirements of which major
importers of tropical timber products mainly from the EU request
their suppliers to achieve. With the EU as a major market
destination for Ghanaian timber products, most companies in Ghana
began implementing certification requirements during the early
2000. However, efforts by these companies have not been successful.
In spite of this, very little academic literature exists on why
companies' are unable to achieve certification and how this affect
forest management and timber export trade in Ghana. This book
details current forest management practices, certification
implementation and its challenges in Ghana and their implications
for forest management and timber export trade. The analysis and
recommendations provided should be useful for forest managers,
administrators, exporters and importers of Ghanaian timber
products.
