Cheap<br>\ntimber has lower reforestation funds and forest royalties, which<br>\nshould be the only components in the price structure of wood for<br>\nlocals,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reforestation funds and forest royalties are part of timber's<br>\nprice structure. Their amounts depend on wood types, so people<br>\nselling cheap wood will pay lower reforestation funds and forest<br>\nroyalties.<\/p>\n<p>It was reported that in September only 45 concessionaires had<br>\ncomplied with the ruling, providing 84,165 cubic meters of wood<br>\nto locals.
