Ghana Forestry Commission (FC) will, reportedly, soon be dealing
drastically with all timber companies who have defaulted on the payment of
their 2004 operational stumpage fees which go to the State, District
Assemblies and the Traditional Authorities. To
begin action the FC has empowered district managers of the Forest Services
Division (FSD) to ensure that the errant companies stop operations
immediately. In addition, reports indicate that
the names of the defaulting companies will be published and they
would be prosecuted if they do not pay promptly. Mr.
Atta Owusu, the Ashanti Regional Manager of the FSD, who disclosed this in
an interview in Kumasi, said the collection of fees from royalties and
management charges was very important because the traditional authorities,
for instance, relied heavily on this income to initiate various
development programmes. Mr.
Owusu estimated that in the Ashanti Region alone, a number of companies
owed the FC about GHC4.8 Billion (US$530,000) but, however, he declined to
mention the companies by name. Last
year, the Ashanti FSD collected GHC 10.2 Billion (US$1.133 million)
representing about 70% of the revenue target for the year. The source of
revenue included stumpage fee, concession rent, exploration permits and
disposal of seized logs and lumber.

West Africa A
recent IFIA press release (www.ifiasite.com ) indicates that SIBAF, a
large company which has been operating in Cameroon for the past 50 years
and which was taken over by the Bollor¨¦ Group a few years ago, has gone
into liquidation. This
liquidation, has resulted in the loss of some 450 jobs and is the result
of a decision of the management of Bollor¨¦ group to pull out of the
timber sector. After
a recent slowing of investment numerous timber companies have decided to
phase-out their African operations. Over the last few years several groups
have decided to close their operations in Africa says the IFIA. These
include SIFCI (Danzer) and CIB
(Mussi Bianchi Fossati) in Ivory Coast,
Coron (Deval Fleury) and SEPC
(Thanry) in Cameroon and Lutexfo (Talleyra) and
SHM,(Deval-Fleury) in Gabon. In
addition, in the Congo, Cristal (Blatt), SIDETRA (Eaux de Madagascar) and
Socobois (Wonnemann) have withdrawn while SBB (Eaux de Madagascar) has
withdrawn from the Republic of Central Africa. As
pointed out by the IFIA, these large groups provided considerable direct
employment and contributed to the economies in these countries. FOB
