Developing forest-based enterprises in Meghalaya | | |
 | | Record Type | : | Brief | | Author | : | Albano, A.; Tiwari, B.K.; Lynser, T.; Kumar, C. | | Abstract | : | With around half of its land area still forested, Meghalaya – one of the eight states of Northeastern India - has high potential for the development of forest-based
enterprises. There are, however, various constraints to the development of forest-based enterprises as demonstrated by the noticeable underdevelopment of industries in the state and the dearth of information regarding the status of existing forest-based
industries - an important element to guiding targeted interventions. This policy brief presents an overview of existing forest-based enterprises in Meghalaya,
focussing on some of the most important forest products and identifying key areas and pathways to developing forest-based enterprises that would generate income and employment for the poor. | | Subject (Topic) | : | forest management, forest products, poverty alleviation | | Subject (Geo) | : | Meghalaya, Northeastern India | | Physical Description | : | 4p. | | Publisher | : | Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Bogor, Indonesia. | | Publication Year | : | 2008 | | Language | : | english | | E-Files | : |  PDF: English ( size 0.3 MB )
