The Fiji Mahogany Trust (FMT) was created to address various issues related to the sustainable management of mahogany resources and to ensure that the benefits from the mahogany industry were equitably distributed among landowners, local communities, and the nation as a whole.

Landowners play a pivotal role within FHCL. This cooperative endeavor is expected to instill a sense of empowerment among the landowners, motivating them to actively nurture and oversee the growth of mahogany trees on their land.

This strategic collaboration holds the potential to empower landowners by instilling a sense of responsibility for the well-being of the mahogany trees on their land. It is anticipated that this sense of ownership will drive them to actively nurture and protect the mahogany resources.

Moreover, the partnership is expected to foster closer cooperation between landowners and FHCL, ultimately resulting in shared benefits derived from the mahogany trees that have been planted. This cooperative approach not only contributes to the sustainable management of the mahogany forests but also holds the promise of lasting environmental and economic advantages for all involved parties.
