This document discusses environmental management and the forest products and trade industry. It provides definitions and frameworks for environmental management and describes forest products as materials derived from forestry, like wood, paper, and forage. Trade is defined as the transfer of goods or services in exchange for money. Forest products are a major source of employment and income in Asia, but production at scale requires marketing beyond local areas. Participation in international markets introduces requirements around market trends, quality standards, transportation, and other issues that impact viability. The conclusion discusses how the forestry sector has been shaped by increasing wood consumption and environmental concerns, raising demands for sustainable practices.

2. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
• It is an attempt to control human impact on and interaction
with the environment in order to preserve natural resources.
• Environmental management focus on the improvement of
human welfare for present and future generation.
• Administrative function that develop, implement and monitor
the environmental policy of the organization.

4. FOREST PRODUCT
• A forest product is any material
derived from a forestry for direct
consumption or commercial use,
such as lumber, paper, or forage for
livestock. Wood, by far the
dominant forest product, is used for
many purposes, such as wood fuel
(e.g. in form of firewood or
charcoal) or the finished structural
materials used for the construction
of buildings, or as a raw material,
in the form of wood pulp, that is
used in the production of paper.

5. TRADE
• Trade, or commerce, involves the transfer of the ownership
of goods or services, from one person or entity to another, in
exchange for money, goods or services. A network that
allows trade is called a market. The forest products industry
has vigorously opened up for global trade because the
prevailing business model is built on capturing comparative
advantages at the right cost. Many emerging countries
possess valued forests, aspire for more processing industry
and employment, and seek added value to their raw
materials.

FOREST PRODUCTS AND TRADE
• Forest products are the source of significant employment and
income in the Asia Pacific Region .
• Where resources have been relatively abundant, local domestic
consumption has frequently been quite low, at least for commercial
forest products.
• Production at a level and scale consistent with resource capacity
requires the marketing of products well beyond the local arena.
• Participation is international markets is uniquely different than
serving local needs and traditional end users.
• The requirements for knowledge and information on global market
trends and requirements, pricing, arrangements for credit, product
grades and quality, transportation and shipping, and a host of issues
arise that can directly affect the economic viability of forest sector
operations

• INTERNAL MARKET BARRIERS
• EXTERNAL MARKET BARRIERS
• DEMAND FOR FOREST PRODUCTS
• ENVIRONMENTAL FUNCTIONS OF FORESTS

8. FOREST PRODUCTS AND
INDUSTRY
• The most basic forest product has been round wood. A
fundamental decision is made as to whether round wood will be
'marketed' in unprocessed form, or rather subjected to further
conversion prior to marketing. Non-industrial uses of timber,
including fuel wood and much local subsistence use is
unorganized and functions without the traditional forms of
'industry' or markets.

15. CONCLUSION
• At last conclude that, the forestry sector has been influenced
by a number of developments that will continue to shape it
into the next century. In the absence of interventions to
increase forest productivity and to promote end-use efficiency,
wood consumption has exceeded the sustainable supply
capacity of the Region's forests. Increasing wood shortages
have stimulated the discussion on introducing changes in
policies, management and technologies. In addition,
environmental concerns and the discussion about timber
certification schemes have raised the awareness of the need for
sustainable forest management. This raises the question of
how the forestry sector will respond to societies' demands.
