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 %
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
