Financial and economic analyses of conventional and reduced impact harvesting systems.

This paper examines the various committed new technology and improve logging activities ascribed in the ‘Logfisher’ Practice (LP) rather than Conventional Practice (CP). The result of cost analysis shows that the cost constitutes under LP is higher than under CP. Incremental average per ha total co...
