The future of wood-based industries in Sarawak depends heavily on the wood production sustainability from our forests. This paper examines the roles and challenges of forest plantations in ensuring the sustainability of wood supply and the sustainable development of the wood-based industries in Sarawak. Analysis of the current structure of the forest plantation subsectors in terms of geographical or spatial distribution of licensed areas, asVwell as the extent and characteristic of growing stock was carried out. It is envisaged that the shortfall of wood supply for the sustainability and survival of the wood-based industries should soon be met from the productionof forest plantations.
