Commercialization of Non-Timber Forest Products: Factors Influencing Success. Lessons Learned from Mexico and Bolivia and Policy Implications for Decision-Makers.

During the past 20 years, the commercialization of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) has been widely promoted as a contribution to the sustainable development of tropical forest resources. This interest is based on earlier perceptions that forest exploitation for NTFPs can be more benign than f...
