| description | Forest lands in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) are largely
owned and administered by the government. The government allocates forest
logging areas to private companies through long-term contracts which defines the
rights and other duties of the concessionaires to extract logs from the forest.
Concessionaires have to pay timber fee to the provincial government under the
agreement for rights to extract the logs. The timber fee collected by the
government is the royalty rate, assessed on volume timber extracted and
differentiated by species. The royalty collected does not reflect the appropriate
stumpage value concessions, most obvious is the loss in revenue which reduces the
apparent viability of government investment in forest management.
This study was conducted to estimate stumpage values of various
compartments and their capture by the government and concessionaires for three
logging concessions in Lao PDR. |
