It may be seen from table 2 that forestry and hunting contributed TSh 297 billion to the country's GDP in 2001, which translates to TSh 6,168 per hectare per year (2001), equivalent to Tsh 29,234 per hectare per year (2013). To begin with, the cut hectare will not contribute to current GDP, meaning the TSh 6,168 per hectare per year (2001) mentioned in the preceding paragraph will be lost. In addition, forestry adds value in other sectors of the Tanzanian economy, the magnitude of which was estimated in table 11.
