TOTAL REVENUE COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION

Records of revenue collection were previously kept on file as duplicates of general receipts. With the establishment of the forest production and utilisation database, all revenue data is now held in the database and various revenue reports can be produced.

Table 2 and Table 3 show the trend in total revenue collection since 1995. As the tables show, revenue collection has steadily increased due to improvements in the Forestry Department. Records of revenue collection are not available for the 1980's and early 1990's, but revenue collection during these periods is believed to be very low due to illegal activities and logistical limitations and lack of motivation on the part of Forestry Department field staff.
