The recent CIFOR NEWS (June 1998, No. 19, page 4) reported  "In New
Zealand and Chile, radiata pine plantations yield more than 20
m3/ha/yr, whilst eucalyptus plantations in Brazil produce an average
of 45 m3/ha/yr. The best clones under experimental conditions have
been reported to produce a staggering of 80 m3/ha/yr..."

This statement was made by the Executive director of the ITTO at
a CIFOR public forum in Tokyo.
