A Brief Note on Collective NTFP Marketing: RCDC's Experience
Publication Date : 07-Feb-2013
Collective marketing of NTFPs has been a common strategy to help secure the rights of & benefits for the primary collectors, particularly for women. As well-known the traders and even
the intermediaries are men whereas the primary collectors are usually women. Traders thrive on the ignorance & innocence of these primary collectors, and collective effort gives the latter a
better scope to deal with the hard realities of market dynamics. It gives a better bargaining power, helps control the process from collection to value addition followed by marketing so as to
facilitate sustainable extraction practices, relaxes the burden of loss by sharing among the members, creates better scope for availing support for capacity building (technical/financial), and
ultimately makes them able to go beyond trading and support something for the cause of the society(like, facilitating the implementation of Forest Rights Act, providing employment to
physically-challenged or otherwise vulnerable individuals, etc.). When cooperatives extend their services for the greater benefit of the society, they become what may be called Socially
Embracing Cooperatives.

Procedures of Workshop on Gums & Resins in India
Publication Date : 07-Feb-2013
Gums and resins, commonly used in every day life, are having ample importance as non timber forest produce. Apart from use in torches, embalming chemicals, waterproofing and caulking ships, incense, paints and medicines, a major portion of the gums and resins are also used as food additives. So food industries worldwide are emerging as potential users of gums and resins. Gums and resins are having a niche market globally. A recent statistics says
export of gums and resins from India were to the tune of Rs. 5 billion per annum. Inspite of a shift in the global market from natural products to synthetic one, the former has its own place
and share in the market. The reason is the growing consciousness for organic/ natural foods. Still a lot to be done for accelerating the production and trade situation both qualitatively and
quantitatively. Opportunities to be explored after having a first hand knowledge on the world trade scenario of the produce. Many organizations are working in this line to know the
situation. NTFP Exchange Programme in South and South East Asia, a joint initiative of local and regional NGO’s and indigenous organizations in the region is doing a study on the world
market of resins and gums. The objective of the study is to assess the overall trade policies and instruments, market situation, production, consumption, value chain, technologies etc.
The expected outcome of the study would help in developing strategies for the future.

NTFP Policy Regime after FRA
Publication Date : 31-Dec-2010
RCDC intends to bring a policy change through this publication at appropriate level, with corresponding reflections at
the ground level. Whereas the present study analysed the situation in eight states of India, the basic observations
are more or less same throughout the country; hence the basic recommendations & conclusions are applicable for the
country. However, some of the statistical data might have changed in the meantime, and also few policy changes
might also have occurred at the state level. Readers are therefore advised to update themselves with the latest
developments.

Green Manifesto
Publication Date : 22-Mar-2014
The NGO sector is probably the third largest organized employment sector after the public- and private sectors.
NGOs work in the public interest with a mixed attitude of professionalism and voluntarism to supplement and/or
complement the efforts of a welfare State(government). Their strength lies in their flexibility and adaptability to
the work environment, which helps them act swiftly unlike the government machinery which is tangled with redtapism.
They successfully link academicians, technocrats, bureaucrats, social scientists, policy makers, and
other stakeholders for the greater cause of the people and the nation.
Develop and promote the NGO sector as the development partner;
help stabilize this potential sector for employment.
