                    [Summary] => BUTUAN CITY — The leader of 20,000 small tree farmers in the Caraga region warned yesterday that the wood industry here is on the brink of collapse because of alleged corruption in government and the absence of clear-cut policies.


Greg Mitchao, president of the Caraga Federation of Tree Farmers and Developers, claimed that majority of their members have shifted to making palm oil because it is hassle-free compared to tree farming, which is totally regulated by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Gregorio Mitchao, president of the Caraga Tree Farmers Federation Inc., told The STAR in an interview that lifting the log ban in Caraga and three other regions in the country does not actually affect nor encourage tree farming since only big logging operators will benefit from it.
