  • Essential Oil Production Under Public Sector, Private Partnershipmodel
    ESSENTIAL OIL PRODUCTION UNDER PUBLIC SECTOR, PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPMODEL - V.S. VENKATESHA GOWDA FORMER GENERAL MANAGER KARNATAKA SOAPS & DETERGENTS LTD., BANGALORE-55 1 INTRODUCTION: Definition of Essential Oil : The scented oil obtained from natural sources is called Essential oil. An essential oil may be defined as a volatile perfumery material derived from a single source of vegetable or animal origin, which has been separated from that source by a physical process. Natural Essential Oils Are The JEWELS OF NATURE – only Kings & Queens and rich persons were supposed to use these essential oils and barter with other valuables. 2 PRODUCTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS: India is already world leader as far as production and export of essential oils and their value added products are concerned. Many factors go in favour of our country, 1) Biodiversity 2) Scientific manpower 3) Processing industry 4) Huge investment in trade Unless, all these four parameters are well addressed by any country, an industry cannot grow and achieve distinction. 3 The production of essential oils can be grouped in to five categories, 1) Essential oils for processing 2) Essential oils for fragrances 3) Essential oils for flavours 4) Essential oils for aromatherapy and natural medicines 5) Essential oils for pharma oils. 4 WORLD PRODUCTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS FOR PROCESSING (2011) Essential Oil Quantity (in MTonnes) Producing Countries Basil 500 India Cederwood 3000 China, USA, India Citrodora 1000 China, Brazil, India, S.Africa Citronella 1500 China, Indonesia, India Clove Leaf 4000 Madagascar, Indonesia, Zanzibar Eucalyptus 5000 China, India, Australia Lemongrass 400 India, China, Guatemala Litsea cubeba 1500 China M.

  • Evolution of Agroforestry As a Modern Science
    Chapter 2 Evolution of Agroforestry as a Modern Science Jagdish C. Dagar and Vindhya P. Tewari Abstract Agroforestry is as old as agriculture itself. Many of the anecdotal agro- forestry practices, which are time tested and evolved through traditional indigenous knowledge, are still being followed in different agroecological zones. The tradi- tional knowledge and the underlying ecological principles concerning indigenous agroforestry systems around the world have been successfully used in designing the improved systems. Many of them such as improved fallows, homegardens, and park systems have evolved as modern agroforestry systems. During past four decades, agroforestry has come of age and begun to attract the attention of the international scientific community, primarily as a means for sustaining agricultural productivity in marginal lands and solving the second-generation problems such as secondary salinization due to waterlogging and contamination of water resources due to the use of excess nitrogen fertilizers and pesticides. Research efforts have shown that most of the degraded areas including saline, waterlogged, and perturbation ecolo- gies like mine spoils and coastal degraded mangrove areas can be made productive by adopting suitable agroforestry techniques involving highly remunerative compo- nents such as plantation-based farming systems, high-value medicinal and aromatic plants, livestock, fishery, poultry, forest and fruit trees, and vegetables. New con- cepts such as integrated farming systems and urban and peri-urban agroforestry have emerged. Consequently, the knowledge base of agroforestry is being expanded at a rapid pace as illustrated by the increasing number and quality of scientific pub- lications of various forms on different aspects of agroforestry. It is both a challenge and an opportunity to scientific community working in this interdisciplinary field.

  • Frm 508 Lecture Notes Utilization of Forest
    FRM 508 LECTURE NOTES UTILIZATION OF FOREST RESOURCES BY DR. M. F. ADEKUNLE ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AND PROFESSOR S.A. OLUWALANA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, ABEOKUTA, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA. 1 INTRODUCTION The forests are one of man’s very important natural renewable resources. They can be used for recreation, for conservation and for utilization of the products obtained from them. For recreational use, the forests are made into sanctuaries and national parks, where people walk, picnic, and enjoy a change of surroundings from the city. Forests conserve naturally the soil, the water, the flora and fauna. Man does not have to do much to keep this going, other than not to destroy the forest, or not to replace it after use. The purpose of the forests, in which the foresters should be most interested, is its total utilization. This means the various uses to which the forest produce can be put (Fig. 12.1). By far the largest amount of things sold from materials taken from the forest are made of wood in one form or another (Fig. 12.2). Studying the journey from wood in the forest to an article or material which can be sold to the public, is completed in three steps: - Learning about the properties of wood. - Learning how to decide that one kind of wood is best for a certain kind of product. - Learning the various operations and processes that have to take place in order to change the wood from the forest into the article or material that will sell to the public.

Small-scale forestry enterprises in India: overview and key issues. Winrock International India, New Delhi and International Institute for Environment and Development, London (unpublished draft). Small-medium forestry enterprises for poverty reduction and sustainability This study is part of a cross-country initiative coordinated by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) with the above title. Most international attention in forestry has been given to improving the conditions for large-scale or micro- scale forestry, and much less to the 'messy middle' - which produces a high proportion of forest product and involves huge numbers of people. Ways need to be found by which small and medium-scale forestry enterprises can better contribute to reducing poverty and improving the prospects for sustainability. IIED, with partners in Uganda, South Africa, India, Brazil, Guyana and China have been investigating these issues. Country diagnostics show that the small and medium forestry enterprise “sector” is of major significance for livelihoods in these countries – the net effect of myriad small players represents a substantial part of local economies.

  • Collected from Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary Parvati Menon VT
    Checklist and approximate quantity of Non-Wood Forest Produce (NWFP) collected from Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary Parvati Menon V.T.M. N.S.S. College, Department of Botany, Thiruvananthapuram, India. 2002 [email protected] Keywords: biodiversity, checklists, forests, non wood forest produce, non timber forest products, illegal trade, wildlife sanctuaries, India. Abstract The Peppara Wildlife sanctuary is a traditional resource base for substantial non-wood forest produce (NWFP). Checklist of NWFP from the sanctuary is prepared on the basis of data collected over a period of one given month; it is subject to the season, availability, market demands and to the known trade outlets. Major items such as fuel wood, fodder and some medicinal plants have been quantified. The checklist includes products used at subsistence, local use and commercial levels. Acknowledgements From the traditional perspective on non-wood forest produce as just a source of commercial exploitation to the present one of conservation of the wealth of biodiversity, the managers of our forests have come a long way in the sustainable utilization of natural resources. I would like to thank Mr. T. Pradeep Kumar, Wildlife Warden, Thiruvananthapuram and his colleagues in the Dept. of Forests, Keralafor giving me this opportunity to study the trade on NWFP in this area and make a humble contribution to the conservation and management efforts now in way throughout the state. The services of Sri. Suneesh Kumar, S.K and Sri. P T Sudarsanan, in collecting the data and assistance in the fieldwork is gratefully acknowledged. I am also indebted to Sri.Bhagavan Kani and several other tribal elders and youngsters for the insight they provided into the life of their community.

  • The Role of Non-Timber Forest Products in Creating Incentives for Forest Conservation: a Case Study of Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia
    resources Article The Role of Non-Timber Forest Products in Creating Incentives for Forest Conservation: A Case Study of Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia Phanith Chou 1,2 1 Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University, 464-8601 Nagoya, Japan; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Development Studies, Royal University of Phnom Penh, 12150 Phnom Penh, Cambodia Received: 5 June 2018; Accepted: 29 June 2018; Published: 1 July 2018 Abstract: The fundamental issue in this study is to confirm whether or not the extraction of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) will encourage additional pro-conservation behavior from local people. This study clarifies three research questions as follows: what is the current activity of forest conservation in Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary?; does the extraction of NTFPs create incentives for forest conservation?; and how much value do NTFPs have for incentives for forest conservation activities? Fieldworks were conducted in September 2015, March and April 2016, March 2017 in Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary: participatory rural appraisals, key informant interviews, and structured questionnaire interviews with 288 households were randomly selected. Though this study confirmed that extraction of NTFPs is generally seen as the most positive influenced factors for local people’s participation towards forest conservation. Additionally, this study found that the annual value of NTFPs as incentives for forest conservation was around US$0.95/ha or US$95/km2 in Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia. Keywords: NTFPs; incentives; forest conservation; Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary; Cambodia 1. Introduction Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are the primary resources from forests in developing countries [1–3].
