Thailand Ministry of National Resources and Environment gives priority to timber along the supply chain on private land, to promote economical plants and increase green area after the law related to timber on private land was resolved and allowed restricted species to legally entering into the market. The FLEGT VPA will make the timber look more reliable and create value-added to the products by using Self-Declaration to help authorized, along with rules and regulations that were proposed to the Royal Forest Department. The outcome was from sub-working group meetings to reflex reality of the situations, and pave ways for the trader, whose timbers are from private land, to follow the guideline.
            However, the system is still developing for the best outcome to suit the country and its people, not to mention gaining trust from foreign traders. SD will specify that the factory/sawmill would have to be able trace from the origin of the timber according to Thai’s laws.
