    An ever-increasing human population drives an increasing demand for many different wood products, which can effectively be met through plantations. Although this has been recognized for over a century, progress in getting large areas into production has been far slower than projected. There are many reasons for the shortfall in plantation production, including a general lack of effort in actively engaging communities in plantations in a way that benefits small-scale producers, the wood products industry and ultimately the consumers of wood products. An important means of expanding plantation production and benefiting small-scale producers is through corporate smallholder partnerships that establish agreements for industries to purchase wood produced by other parties, including but not limited to smallholders. While there are examples of successful corporate smallholder partnerships in the tropics, many attempts have been only partially successful or have failed entirely in produci ng significant quantities of wood in ways that benefit both producer and processor.
