A production-to-consumption system approach: lessons from the bamboo and rattan sectors in Asia
1998
Belcher, B.M.
Common approaches to analysing market and processing structures such as market chain and subsector analysis are reviewed. Additional information necessary to diagnose interventions is identified. This includes understanding horizontal linkages among actors ina market chain, (for example, farmers' cooperatives or industry associations that affect power relation and mobilisation of resources), vertical linkages, (for example, mechanisms such as contracts between buyers and sellers that influence people's motivations to participate in the chain), and intensity of use of labour or capital in each stage of production, which has direct implications for forest conservation. The methods are discussed in the context of action research conducted by the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan.
