International Paper inaugurates India’s largest CPC in Andhra Pradesh

17 Apr 2014 Evaluate

International Paper APPM (IP-APPM), a group company of International Paper in India, has inaugurated India’s largest Casurina Clonal Propagation Center (CPC) in Mulugapudi village in Vishakapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh. This is the company’s 5th CPC in the country and is equipped with state of the art technology to develop superior clonal saplings which can double the productivity of pulpwood as compared to conventional seedling methods. The productivity through the clonal saplings will increase to 65-70 MT pulpwood per acre during 4 year plantation cycle from existing 30-35 MT per acre of the conventional seedling plantations.

This new cloning centre is spread across a vast area of 5.4 acres and has 20 low cost poly houses which will enable the farmers (tree growers) to maximize not only the bio-productivity of their per unit land mass but will also enhance their socio-economic status. The centre also has 2 hardening chambers with a capacity of 8 lakh rooted clones. These superior quality saplings are then provided to farmers from the center's open nursery for further cultivation and thereafter pulpwood is sourced from these farmers for use in paper manufacturing process.

The new CPC which follows a semi-mechanized system of clonal propagation is strategically located in the region where Casuarina is cultivated providing easy access of superior quality saplings to farmers in all weather conditions. The distribution system is managed by the IP-APPM's farm forestry team. Local communities, particularly women's groups are being trained to produce these low cost Casuarina clones, positively impacting their livelihood. The center will generate employment of 35,000 man hours per annum.
