摘要

本文分析了坦桑尼亚林迪地区可持续土地利用管理在农场层面保护热带雨林的可能性。它调查了农业生产,特别是高价值的芝麻生产对林迪地区基尔瓦地区家庭砍伐森林的影响。之所以选择研究区域,是因为临地地区是全国主要的芝麻产地之一。该分析基于在Kilwa地区从六个村庄的310户家庭样本中收集的数据。在向户主发放的问卷中,关键问题是影响他们决定在上一个作物季节开垦新土地种植芝麻的因素。因此,该研究旨在从家庭层面了解林迪地区森林砍伐的驱动因素。采用双变量Probit模型,研究了芝麻产量是否影响新区域的清除率。本研究的主要发现显示,虽然芝麻生产对家庭福利有正面影响,但也可能对环境有负面影响。报告建议有必要制定适当的政策和基础设施,使农民能够在不扩大耕地的情况下提高生产力。JEL分类:Q1, Q17

Environmental Implication of Sesame Production in Tanzania: A Case Study of Kilwa District, Lindi Region
This paper analyses the possibilities for sustainable land use management at farm level to preserve the tropical rainforest in the Lindi region, Tanzania. It investigates the implication of agricultural production, in particular a high valued sesame production on household deforestation in Kilwa district, in Lindi region. The choice of the study area is because Lindi region is one of the leading sesame producers in the country. The analysis is based on data collected in Kilwa district, from a sample of 310 households in six village. The key question in the questionnaire administered to heads of households was, among others, factors that influenced their decision to clear new land for sesame farming in the previous crop season. Thus, the study set out to understand drivers of deforestation in Lindi region at the household level. Using bivariate Probit model it investigated whether sesame production influenced clearance of new area. The main findings of this study indicate that even though sesame production influence household welfare positively, it is also likely to affect the environment negatively. It recommends the need to put in place appropriate policies and infrastructure such that farmers can increase productivity without the need to expand farm land. JEL Classification: Q1, Q17
