ArticleOpportunities and limitations of non-wood forest products in the participatory guarantee systems of the plurinational state of Bolivia

No results found.Non-Wood Forestal Products (NWFP) offer regular incomes for collectors, producers in developing countries and they are considered as a livelihood strategy at tropical areas. In this study, the use of tropical seeds to elaborate handicrafts is an example how these seeds are collected at the tropics, transformed and sold to final consumers. For this study, we selected the Value Chain Approach (VCA) to identify the involved actors, the values of collections, processing and consumption along the chains. These four tropical seeds value chains were: Abrus precatorius, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Chamaedora elegans, and Dypsis lutescens. The objective was to identify the opportunities and limitations of the NWFP in the Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) which are acknowledged into the Law 3525/2007 for the Promotion of the Organic Agriculture at The Plurinational State of Bolivia. There are no previous studies on Participatory Certification for NWFP at national level. The study was located at the secondary forest of the Valle del Sacta UMSS-Tropico unit. This study took place from January to November 2013. The major results were: women are much more involved into the NWFP collection and processing tasks as well as in the consumption stage; Processors earn the twice than collectors due to the value adding tasks in order to produce a new product such as earrings, necklaces and others; the need to develop a NWFP seal through the PGS; the development of a tropical seed bank to supply the increasing demand during the whole year; and the need to involve a financial service provider with the two technical services such as the UMSS1 and CAPROECO2. The principal limitations were: the lack of ecologic information of the seed producing species; the lack of a custody chain in order to keep a control and monitoring of the activities along the chains; and the lack of market information for the real supply and demand.

PresentationPlurinational State of Bolivia GLOBEFISH Market Profile - 2019 2022
Also available in:
No results found.As the fisheries sector increasingly relies on regional and international trade for its sales, it has become crucial for those involved to have consistent, independent and trustworthy market information. The GLOBEFISH country profile provides a simple and clear overview of trade in fisheries and aquaculture for participants in today’s global fish trade. Each GLOBEFISH country profile will share valuable information such as: GDP from fisheries, Imports and Exports of fish and fishery profiles, production and trade breakdown, top species by value for exports/imports, HS codes, and more. -
