Proceedings of a workshop organised by Private Forestry North Queensland and Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, Townsville, Australia, 9-11 May, 2006, 2006, pp unpaginated
The paper explores the operating environment in which any Khaya plantation industry development will take place and the conditions that need to be met to attract investment. The analysis is based on a vision of a vertically integrated boutique industry focussed on high value production satisfying...

The forest tree species Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss. occurs in a belt across 20 African countries from Senegal-Guinea to Sudan-Uganda where it is a highly important resource. However, it is listed as Vulnerable (IUCN 2015-3). Since introduction in northern Australia around 1959, the species...
