Purposes of this study are to investigate the market prospects, to present an informative discription of the forest owners characteristics and to estimate the investment return from growing Eucalyptus camaldulensis in various regions of Thailand. The benefit-cost analysis technique was used to evaluate the investment return to growers. Output and price were expected on 4-years rotation basis and the net present value (NPV) and benefit-cost ratios were computed at different alternative discount rates ranging from 6 to 20 percent. The internal rate of return (IRR) was 58 percent for the central plain and eastern, 50 percent for the northeastern, 38 percent for the northern and 31 percent for the southern regions. The private forests were classified into 4 categories; (1) individual household (2) company (3) school and temple and (4) co-operative.
