Abstract

The study aimed to estimate the physical and monetary values for nontimber forest products (NTFP) of the Surra government plantation in the upper Hare-Baso rivers catchment of Gamo highlands, southwestern Ethiopia. The Surra government plantation was established in the mid-1980s and consisted of C. lusitanica, E. globulus, and P. radiata tree species, which were planted side by side. Because of food insecurity, forest proximity communities/inhabitants relied on extracting NTFP such as litter and fodder for income and livestock feed despite none of them being physically and monetarily accounted for. The plot method and stock change approach were applied to determine sample plots and collect litter data, respectively, while the active market price was used to account for monetary correspondences. Fodder data were acquired via integration of animal unit month (AUM), livestock carrying capacity, animal unit equivalent (AUE/TLU), quality of pasture (poor), and proper use factor (30%). Its monetary price data were collected from the local market. The gross total production of litter and grass/fodder was 158,614.90 kg and 284,076 kg per/year, respectively, while the corresponding monetary values were ETB 206,169.40 and ETB 255,669, respectively. However, the “proper use factor”-based physical value of fodder/grass was 85,224 kg per/year, and its corresponding monetary value was ETB 76,701. The average physical value (volume) of grass production/year during the wet and dry seasons was 56.67 kg and 96.67 kg, and its mean monetary price/kg was ETB 1.4 and 1.2, respectively. It was concluded that the fodder/grass data collected via the integrated approach reduced the accounting errors, and the data were more precise. Accounting for the economic values of litter and fodder embedded in the market price upscaled the accounting quality and was more indicative of ground facts. Therefore, this study contributed a fresh accounting approach to the field of NTFP accounting.

埃塞俄比亚西南部上游Hare-Baso河流域Surra政府人工林非木材林产品的物质性和经济性评估
该研究旨在估计埃塞俄比亚西南部加莫高地上部Hare-Baso河流域Surra政府种植园的非木材林产品(NTFP)的物质和货币价值。苏拉政府人工林建立于20世纪80年代中期,由卢西塔尼卡(C. lusitanica)、金球蓝(E. globulus)和辐射木(P. radiata)三种树种并列种植而成。由于粮食不安全,森林附近的社区/居民依赖于提取非森林物质,如垃圾和饲料,以获得收入和牲畜饲料,尽管这些物质和货币都没有计算在内。样地和凋落物数据分别采用样地法和存量变化法,货币对应采用活跃市场价格。饲料数据通过动物单位月(AUM)、牲畜承载能力、动物单位当量(AUE/TLU)、牧草质量(差)和合理利用因子(30%)的综合得到。其货币价格数据是从当地市场收集的。凋落物和草料总产量分别为158,614.90 kg /年和284,076 kg /年,相应的货币价值分别为206,169.40和255,669欧元。然而,基于“合理利用因子”的饲料/草的物理价值为85,224 kg /年,相应的货币价值为76,701欧元。湿季和旱季平均产草量(体积)为56.67 kg和96.67 kg,平均货币价格为1.4 ETB /kg和1.2 ETB /kg。综上所述,采用综合方法采集的饲料/牧草数据减少了会计误差,数据更加精确。将凋落物和饲料的经济价值计入市场价格,提高了会计质量,更能反映实际情况。因此,本研究为NTFP会计领域提供了一种新的会计方法。

期刊介绍: The main aim of the International Journal of Ecology & Development (IJED) is to publish refereed, well-written original research articles, and studies that describe the latest research and developments in ecology and development. It also covers the many potential applications and connections to other areas of Ecological Science, economics and technology such as the use and development of mathematics/statistics in ecology or use and development of economics for ecology & development or inter-disciplinary nature of applications for Ecology & Development. International Journal of Ecology and Development is published three issues in a year in Winter, Summer and Fall.
