Midterm Plan

The Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute is the largest comprehensive investigative research institution in Japan involved in research and development for forest, forestry, and forest products industries as well in forest tree breeding. In this capacity, the institute cooperates with the government and relevant entities to solve challenges facing forestry-related industries, promote research and development for these industries, and disseminate the results across the industrial, academic, and administrative sectors. We strive to promote the advanced use of multiple functions of forests and the growth of forestry businesses, thereby contributing to the enhancement and sustainment of forests for the future generation.
