The scope for domestication of a NTFP depends upon various factors. Of the several factors, profitability is a major factor for inducing farmers to adopt the NTFP crop. The case study here reveals that profitability of Bamboo is very high and crop is financially feasible even at very high discount rates. This is especially true for Kartus variety and some progressive farmers have already adopted it in Gujarat. In addition to profitability factor, other socioeconomic factors are believed to be favourable to the domestication of Bamboo as an agroforestry crop in the region. Bamboo agroforestry is not yet popular in Gujarat but it holds a better promise. Furthermore, to establish it as an agroforestry crop, more local research is needed; in particular, that related to the agronomical and socio-economic aspects of the crop. The local and international organizations can think of supporting and promoting this venture.- Global Income and Employment Generation Impacts of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) and their Poverty Mitigation Potential: Reflections Based on Worldwide Evidences

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) generate sizeable magnitudes of income and employment in different parts of the world for the tribal and poor people. The evidence is based on the review of past studies across different continents. The study presents a collective evidence for the role of NTFPs in the economy of poor and downtrodden. NTFPs should be used as instrument for engendering economic development in low and underdeveloped sectors of the world.Keywords
