摘要

The study assesses the sources and impact of income inequality among forest related entrepreneurs in the region. A multi-stage random sampling approach was adopted in selecting the respondents’ sample while a total of 450 copies of structured questionnaire were administered. Linear regression model was used to determine factors that contribute to inequality while Gini-coefficient was used to determine the degree of income inequality among households. So, an increase in age, market access and labour cost would increase the predicted probability of the income inequality of the forest related entrepreneurs while an increase in forest management laws would decrease it. In terms of impact of forest income on rural households' inequality status, with the inclusion of forest income, there is a relative reduction of about 12.9%, 13.8% and 10.7% Gini coefficient among extremely poor (EP), moderately poor (MP) and non-poor (NP) household categories respectively. The study recommends that more incentives and encouragements should be given to rural forest entrepreneurs to foster improved commercialization and value chain of forest products in the region.
