| The last FAO Forest Tree Seed Directory, published in 1961, has long been out of
date. It is intended to publish a new edition in 1974. In the interests of economy,
FAO's Committee on Forestry proposed that the new edition should be greatly shortened and
simplified. It will list only species and the countries from which seed of a given species
is available. It is intended that responsibility for more detailed information on
individual seed sources and seed suppliers within a country should be that of the
appropriate national authority responsible for coordination of forest tree seed supply.
The FAO Directory will list these authorities. |
