Resumen
Descripción
Based on a case study on agarwood and Aquilaria spp. in Lao P.D.R., NTFP
commercialisation is analyzed through its effect on income distribution, and with a specific
objective to trace out mechanisms by which different economic agents along the commodity
chain, that is in harvesting, trade, wholesalers and export, get access to income flows, and
mechanisms by which they control and maintain their access. Various de jure and de facto
mechanisms are identified, of which technical skills, market access, relations and credentials
with state officials, political and administrative networks, social and family relations and
carte blanche harvesting permits stand out.
