Presentation Transcript

  1. Partner presentations – some preliminary PEN findings PEN workshop, Bogor, March 2009

  2. Forest income and poverty • Forest income share higher than all, except 2, predicted • From 10-60 % • Average 25 % (Khaled &Pablo leading the prophet race) • +8% more than you guessed. Some of you should be very surprised. • If high: one single commercial product • Brazil nut in B&B, Acai (Brazil), Tung oil (China)

  3. Poverty profile • Absolute forest income (forest use): • More for the rich for all except Marie • Relative forest income (forest dependence) • About half had a clear pro-poor profile

  4. Which forest products • Fuelwood listed as most important in 2/3 of cases • Pricing? • Sawnwood important in some • Underestimating wood, it’s not only for the rich guys? • Few NTFPs products dominate • NTFP-inflation? • Coding artifact? • After all, forest is mainly wood?

  5. Safety net and shocks • Limited role • Reflect direct response • Some exceptions (e.g. Ethiopia and Bangladesh) • Need more detailed statistical analysis • Do hh experiencing shocks have higher forest income, cet.par. ? • Strong seasonality in most studies • Interesting for further studies

  6. Some more points • Many data issues remain: • Cleaning • Coding • Pricing • Better analysis to test hypotheses
