Present Situation and Recommendations on the Development of Dalbergia odorifera in Hainan

Dalbergia odorifera is particularly scarce, and the Dalbergia odorifera furniture and commercial raw materials on the market are mainly old furniture and agricultural tools, as well as commercially collected Dalbergia odorifera logs. The logs and high-grade furniture made from Dalbergia odorifera are extremely expensive. It takes several decades for Dalbergia odorifera to grow into wood. At present, there is only a small area of newly planted and regenerated forest, and the planting area of Dalbergia odorifera is about 15000 ha in Hainan Island, distributed in the low altitude area of Hainan Island. It is suggested that Hainan Dalbergia odorifera island should be built through the transformation of low-yielding forest land, the use of wasteland and marginal cultivated land, land around houses, green belt and roadside land for the cultivation of Dalbergia odorifera, and the development area can be up to 100 000-150 000 ha. It is necessary to mobilize farmers to revitalize the rural green economy, plant Dalbergia odorifera, beautify the environment, and increase the economic resources of rural trees; actively publicize the legal nature and obligation of Dalbergia odorifera protection, and create a strong atmosphere for each family to plant and protect Dalbergia odorifera.
