    Small-scale forest enterprises 1987
    Also available in:
    In response to government concerns, FAO has begun to develop more information on the nature of small forest enterprises, their contributions to rural incomes, the constraints that hold the small entrepreneur back, and the opportunities that strengthening this sector hold for improved rural incomes. An initial step was the commissioning of a number of case-studies. This was followed by the convening of an expert consultation in Rome in October 1986, on which the lead article by Arnold, Chipeta an d Fisseha in this issue is based, the proceedings of which will be published as an FAO Forestry Paper in late 1987. The other two "theme" articles are a report on charcoaling enterprises in Kenya by M. Kinyanjui and an assessment of the potential of forestry cooperatives by K. Kilander.
