Introduction to the Ethiopian National Plan 3
I Control through utilization, replacement with better varieties 4
use of competition from large trees as well as herbicides,
mechanical control etc
II Genetic improvement (replacement with better varieties 8
and clonal propagation).
III Plantation establishment and management 12
IV Natural stand management, thinning, pruning, understory removal, 14
in situ genetic improvement by grafting onto resprouts,
estimation of standing sawn lumber and firewood.
V Firewood issues 17

VII Applied technology to stimulate value added 23
VIII Increase quality of food and wood products commensurate 27
with international government and marketplace standards.
