Abstract

Although Eucalyptus was introduced to support Ethiopia’s timber production forestry, various barriers hinder its use as an alternative to imported wood. This article’s primary aim is to identify key challenges in eucalyptus timber utilization and propose strategies for improvement based on the literature review. The finding indicated technological, economic, social, and policy-related barriers. Secondary data were collected by reviewing scholarly sources from November 2024 to January 2025. Keywords were used to search in Scopus and Web of Science scientific databases and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Findings show that the identified challenges limit the utilization of eucalyptus timber. To enhance sustainability, stakeholders should advance wood processing technologies and implement supportive policies and financial incentives.
