An evaluation of the scheme instituted in 1967 by the Forest Industries Organization of Thailand to induce shifting cultivators to settle and establish plantations. By 1981 there were 26 forest villages establishing 4000 ha/yr of plantations (initial target had been 2000 villages covering 32 000 ha). Immigration from Laos and Burma has raised the number of shifting cultivators from 300 000 to 700 000.
