Determinants of smallholder commercial tree cultivation.

Abstract This article contains a discussion of how output prices, tenure, information, credit, technology, government policies, and labor availability affect smallholder commercial tree cultivation. Output prices play the key role in smallholder commercial tree cultivation, even in the face of insecure tenure. Output prices, however, are a necessary but not a sufficient condition to induce smallholders to undertake commercial fuelwood cultivation.
