They have not make rational distribution of resources according to their endowment, location and industrial base, etc. Therefore, making a rational planning of NTFP in different provinces to identify each province’s competitive industry, strengthening the study of NTFP distribution have an important guiding significance on giving full play to the advantages of each region, as well as better develop the economic, ecological and social benefits of non-wood forest products. This study, on the basis of the status of NTFP and the research of the type used, makes a summary of the characteristics of the distribution of non-wood forest products industry and makes some recommendations on the corresponding policies.
