Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study was undertaken to identify economically important NTFPs yielding tree species. Surveys were conducted in 15 local markets in 7 districts of the state and assessment of value-added forest products were also conducted in Van Dhan Vikas Kendra (VDVK), a nationalized minor forest products market. During the survey, a total of 33 NTFPs yielding tree species with varied uses were recorded. Among those, edible fruit species were found to be the most important category with the most profitable items. Some species like, Baccaurea sapida, Docynia indica, Elaeocarpus floribundus, Phyllanthus emblica, Ficus semicordata, Prunus napaulensis, Rhus semialata, Spondias pinnata and Ziziphus mauritiana were utilised in value addition for making different items like candies, pickles, jams, beverages, etc, which have price range of 400–1200 INR per kg having a far higher market value than the raw form, and eventually improve the income of the locals. Poor transportation and unestablished market channels were some of the constraints faced by the people in the trade of NTFPs. Establishing proper market channels would help in improving livelihood of the locals.

印度曼尼普尔邦印缅地区具有重要经济意义的树木类非森林保护区评估

摘要本研究旨在确定经济上重要的NTFP生产树种。在该州7个区的15个地方市场进行了调查，并在国有化的小森林产品市场Van Dhan Vikas Kendra（VDVK）对增值森林产品进行了评估。在调查期间，共记录了33种具有不同用途的NTFP。其中，可食用水果种类被发现是最重要的类别，也是最有利可图的项目。一些物种，如Baccaurea sapida、Docynia indica、Eleocarpus floribundus、Phyllanthus emblica、Ficus分号、Prunus napaulensis、Rhus semalata、Spondias hinda和Ziziphus mauritana，被用于制造糖果、泡菜、果酱、饮料等不同的物品，其价格范围为每公斤400至1200印度卢比，市场价值远高于原料，并最终提高当地人的收入。交通不便和市场渠道不畅是人们在非关税产品贸易中面临的一些制约因素。建立适当的市场渠道将有助于改善当地人的生活。
