2.4.1 Fuel wood<br />
In the national/state accounts, production <strong>of</strong> firewood is estimated indirectly from the consumption side. The<br />
data on consumption <strong>of</strong> firewood is available from the 5-yearly consumer expenditure surveys <strong>of</strong> NSSO. For the<br />
new series, the results available from the NSS 61st round (2004-05) on consumer expenditure, have been used.<br />
This has resulted in an increase <strong>of</strong> Rs. 752 crore in the new series under this item. The per capita consumption rates<br />
<strong>of</strong> firewood, as available from the recent NSS rounds, are indicated below:<br />

2.4.2 Industrial Wood<br />
In the compilation <strong>of</strong> national/state accounts, the estimated production <strong>of</strong> industrial wood from forest sources<br />
only was considered till the previous NAS series. However, it has been observed that there is considerable production<br />
<strong>of</strong> wood from social forests <strong>and</strong> other plantations outside forests. Therefore, in the new series <strong>of</strong> NAS, data on<br />
industrial wood produced from Trees Outside Forests, has been included in output estimates <strong>of</strong> forestry sector, in<br />
consultation with the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Environment <strong>and</strong> Forests. This has resulted in an increase <strong>of</strong> Rs. 1499 crore in the<br />
new series under this item. The Forest Survey <strong>of</strong> India (FSI) has provided the data on output <strong>of</strong> industrial wood<br />
from trees outside forests (TOF). State values <strong>of</strong> industrial wood produced from Recorded Forest <strong>and</strong> from Trees<br />
Outside Forests (TOF) are given in the following table.<br />

2.4.3 Minor Forest Products<br />
Previously, output <strong>of</strong> fodder from forest sources was not included in the national/state accounts compilation. In<br />
the new series, this item has been included in consultation with the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Environment <strong>and</strong> Forests, as part <strong>of</strong><br />
minor forest products. It has been estimated by the Forest Survey <strong>of</strong> India that at the national level, 15.9 % <strong>of</strong> the<br />
livestock population is solely dependent on forest areas for fodder/roughages. This proportion has been used to<br />
arrive at the value <strong>of</strong> fodder from forest sources. This has resulted in an increase <strong>of</strong> Rs.326 crore in the new series<br />
under this item.<br />
