8.3 <strong>Forest</strong> Industry Associations<br />
There are about ten associations involved in promoting the Thai forestry sector, and these organizations are<br />
relatively advanced in comparison with neighbouring countries. These include:<br />
Thai Pulp and Paper Industry Association<br />
Thai Furniture Industries Association<br />
Thai Federation of Industries Wood Processing Group<br />
Wood-Import Export Association/Timber Merchants Association<br />
Tree Farmers Association<br />
Thai Sawmilling Industry Association<br />
Sawntimber Trade Association (rubberwood)<br />
Thai Economic Private <strong>Forest</strong> Plantation Promotion Association\<br />
Board of Industries of <strong>Thailand</strong> (have Furniture Department)<br />
Thai Parawood Association<br />
The Pulp and Paper Association and the Furniture Association are considered the strongest. In addition, local<br />
farmers associations exist, but are less well organized and funded (ITTO 2006:104-105).<br />
In addition, <strong>Thailand</strong> participates in the ASEAN Furniture Industry Council (AFIC) and the ASEAN <strong>Forest</strong> Product<br />
Industry Club (AFPIC). <strong>Thailand</strong> in fact holds the Chairman, Secretary General and Secretariat functions for the<br />
AFIC during the 2011-13 term.<br />
