This paper presents results of financial analysis for 8 types of tree plantations in different parts of plantations in different parts of Pakistan. Financial analyses were carried out for 5 multiple purpose tree species planted in the form of both linear and block plantations in the irrigated plains on state as well as on private farmlands through the country. The results indicate that cost benefit ratio of the plantations under the existing conditions depend upon the tree species, demand and marketability of forest produce and intensity of management practices. Generally, tree planting on the farmlands is financially favorable in all localities irrespective of tree species planted on them. On the other hand ,large block plantations on state land, with the exception of poplar plantation in Changa Manga, have low cost benefit ratio especially if rental value of the land ( opportunity cost ) is included in the financial analysis. It is suggested that plantations should be intensified with large financial and technical inputs to make them financially sound undertaking.
