Awang Noor Abd Ghani, . and Mohd Basri Hamzah, . and Shamsuddin Salleh, . Economics of enrichment planting in Peninsular Malaysia. pp. 122-130. ISSN 0302-2935
Abstract
This paper examines the economic feasibility of enrichment planting in Peninsular Malaysia. Two separate projects in the states of Pahang and Perak were analysed. The studies have indicated that enrichment planting could be marginally acceptable economically. The inclusion of non-timber products and shadow or social pricing have been suggested to improve economic feasibility. The paper also presented a conceptual benefit-cost framework on enrichment planting as well as a description of non-timber forest products in the model. An economic growth and yield assessment of all enrichment planting sites should be conducted as well as the need to evaluate environmental benefits of the enrichment planting activities. These would provide a more complete economic evaluation of the practice.
