SmartWood’s certification of the Forest Industry Organisation - FIO’s history

Thailand’s Forest Industry Organisation was established in January 1947 as a state-owned forestry enterprise. Operating under the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, FIO was established to carry out three main activities: logging in concession areas; logging in non-concession areas including the sites of proposed reservoirs and dams; and the use or sale of confiscated wood either illegally cut or illegally imported into Thailand.
