Annual yield Non Timber Forest Product rotation Range post sustainable production |
| Abstract: |
The study, conducted in 2005 in Darchula district of the far western region of Nepal, aimed at
assessing the distribution of Lokta plants (Daphne species) and the sustainable availability of
their bark as a raw material for Nepali handmade paper. Stratified random sampling design was
adopted for collecting primary data from 340 circular shaped sample plots. The study revealed
asymmetric distribution and production of Lokta in different Range post areas of Darchula district.
While the tree diameter at 30 cm from base (D30) varied from 1 to 18 cm, the maximum tree height
varied from 2.1 to 6 m. On the basis of diameter class, about 87 % of the bark weight was found to
be of exploitable category. For the entire district of Darchula, the annual yield of Lokta bark for
six years rotation amounted only to about two-third of the four years rotation. The study concludes
that the stock of Lokta bark that prevails in the district can sustain promotion of Nepali paper
production enterprises.
