- Nepal has been working to systematically classify its soils since 1957, completing surveys of 55 districts by 1983, though some high hill districts remained unsurveyed for a long time.
- In 1998 and 2014, soil maps of Nepal were prepared using the USDA and WRB soil classification systems, respectively. Around 6000 soil profiles were studied from five physiographic regions.
- The data from 158 representative soil profiles were analyzed and converted to fit the HWSD format using formulas from Batjes et al. 2017 to standardize the data into layers from 0-30 cm and 30-100 cm.
- Major soils identified include Calcaric Fluvisols, Eutric Gleysols, Calcaric Ph

Business Opportunities
and Challenges in
Agroforestry and Forestry
What can business do for Forest and
Landscape Restoration?
3. Forest & Landscape Investment Forum
FLR Definition (IUCN)
Forest landscape restoration (FLR) is the ongoing process of regaining ecological
functionality and enhancing human well-being across deforested or degraded
forest landscapes. FLR is more than just planting trees – it is restoring a whole
landscape “forward” to meet present and future needs and to offer multiple
benefits and land uses over time.
FLR manifests through different processes such as: new tree plantings, managed
natural regeneration, agroforestry, or improved land management to
accommodate a mosaic of land uses, including agriculture, protected wildlife
reserves, managed plantations, riverside plantings and more.

4. Forest & Landscape Investment Forum
Introducing….“the finance guy“
1) In order to bring FLR to scale we need to mobilize private
investments.
2) The money is there but we need investable business cases!
5. Forest & Landscape Investment Forum
….vs. „the landscape practitioner“
A „landscape“ is not a „business case“.
But certain landscape restoration measures can be
investable, if they are integrated into value chains.
6. Forest & Landscape Investment Forum
Two different ways of looking at the landscape in search of business cases
„FLR-Investment opportunities“ – a sleeping beauty?
7. Forest & Landscape Investment Forum
Two different ways of looking at the landscape in search of business cases
or a long-term development strategy?
8. Forest & Landscape Investment Forum
Objectives of the session
1. Have a look on some of these value chains that (potentially) contribute to
FLR and discuss how they could attract investments
2. Have a look on the framework conditions that may create the „enabling
environment“ (incl. support programmes and partnerships) for „FLR
investments“
3. Short discussion on the way forward integrating the different perspectives of
the private sector, the finance and the FLR communities
…and warming up for the focussed sessions to follow
11. BACKGROUND – OUR ORGANIZATION

29. The Cleanest Biomass Fueled Stove
No black pot after 2.5 hours cooking with only 800gms of pellets
30. You can’t sell a cookstove
to someone who has no money
• So we don’t try
– This is the fundamental error made for decades by cookstove ‘projects’
• Extreme poor can’t afford truly clean stove(s) ~$80+ each
– A quality made clean stove is a ‘one off’ sale lasting for years
• But Mamas do spend cash on fuel every day
• Inyenyeri is a Fuel Utility Company
– not a ‘cookstove project’
– We sell fuel to every household, every day
– At strong profit margins for a commodity product
31.
32. Sustainable supply is disappearing rapidly. Cooking fuel
demands are accelerating. Forest deficit is growing.

48. WITH REFERENCE TO E & S AFRICAN CASE STUDIES -
Important lessons can be learned from ongoing,
regional initiatives:
Uganda’s Sawlog Production Grant Scheme
(SPGS);
Small-medium-sized farmers in Tanzania’s
Southern Highlands and
Planned Planted Forest Grant Scheme in
Mozambique

Rwanda: Kigali
Malawi: Malawi Lake Basin
Programme
59. What’s in it for everyone?
•Realize mission on
improving livelihoods
•Dairy business
•Adaptation to CC
•Increase crop
productivity
•Improve soil fertility
•Carbon credits
•Realise mission to
contribute to local
community
•Milk sourcing
•Add value to Brand
•Closer relationship
with farmers
Brookside
A private
fund
An NGO
15 dairy
cooperatives
60. Why is this important?
- The business angle will continue long after the project
- This ensures sustainability
- Likelihood of the activities growing as the dairy business grows
- Bringing the real business dynamics closer to the farmers who
otherwise have been more on subsistence farming.
61. Key issues…
- Has to be long term
- It took us time to design
- Business Relationship will continue long after the project is over
therefore the start has to be right
- Cultures of the different partners are different

The National Forestry Strategy
in Rwanda
An enabling environment for private
investments in commercial forestry
and FLR
Kigali, 16-17 May 2017
Republic of Rwanda
MINIRENA - RWFA
65. 1. Main policy targets for private investments in SFM and FLR
Sustainable Forest
Management
Planning
- Forest Cover 30 % in 2020
- FLR: 2 M ha in 2020
- DFMPs under implementation: 6 to 30 in 2020
- Productivity of newly established forest: 9 to 14-16 m3/ha/year
- Public forest contracted to privates: 7% to 80 % in 2020
- Small holder private forests managed by Association/Cooperatives
under SFMP: 0% to 35% in 2020
- % of river / lakeshore and roadside plantation managed under PFM
modalities trough local farmer’s assembly/vigilance committee: 3% to
55% in 2020.
- PFM application in public forests contracted to private operators: 10 to
100% in 2020
- Tree density in average in Crops-Agroforestry area: 25 => 50 trees/ha
in 2020
- Incomes of HH practicing agroforestry: 10 % incraeses in 2020
Private Sector
Investments
Participatory
management &
Benefit sharing
Agroforestry
66. One DFMP per District
Provide specific management rules, action plan and District targets
for:
Public forests long term concession to Private Operator
Small Holder Private forests conversion of old forest into productive
forest
Agroforestry dissemination support Farmer Field Schools (FFS)
Road/River/lake side plantation participatory forest management – PFM
Shrubland-Savannah restoration & protection or conversion
2. District Forest Management Plan – DFMP
as a key tool for FLR & SFM program implementation
67. 3. Management approach for public forests:
• State Forest = 27% of the total production (non protected) forest area
• Largely dominated by Eucalyptus and Pinus
• Yet stocked especially in Western and Southern Province (120
m3/ha) => the 2 only Provinces that can support timber production
• OPPORTUNITY: to be contracted to private operators (long term
concession)
68. State or
District
Long term
concession contract
- Full responsible for overall management
- According to agreed Simplified Forest Management Plan (SFMP)
- Has to organize Participatory Forest Management with local
communities
PFO
Professional
Forest
Operator
DFMPs are grouping public forests into FMUs (Forest Management Units) of around 200 ha
=> each public FMU should be contracted to private operator
69. Management approach for public forests (ctn): Opportunities
• Already around 6,000 ha contracted (NFC, Tea Companies)
• Already 23 DFMPs developed
=> around 35,000 ha to be contracted in 2017-2018
=> more than 20,000 ha to be contracted in 2018-2020
• 5 DFMPs in process of development
70. Management approach for public forests (ctn)
• Incentives for long term concession ongoing process of
establishment of adapted taxation system for concession:
– For FMU still well stocked and without heavy investments (best profitability context), annual fees/tax
to be paid by concessioner to St according harvested volumes
– For FMU not so well stocked and/or with heavy investment (less profitability context), tax reduction
should be applied (at least the 5-10 first years)
• Incentives for operators investing in development of added value clean
wood industry products (saw timber, woody pellets, etc..) ongoing
process of establishment of tax reduction system
71. more than 60% of total forest plantation area
Very Low productivity (at least 2 times less than potential)
=> Should be the PRIORITY 1: Urgency of intensive reconversion
and application of sustainable management practices
4. Management approach for smallholder private forests:
72. Private Plantations
Forest products
Market/Dealers
Support FOA
Forest Owners Association
(or cooperative)
of 10 to 50 ha each
Objective:
- established Private FMU
- to ensure conversion into productive
and well managed forest under
Simplified Forest Management Plan
(SFMP)
Private forest owners
Management approach for smallholder private forests (cnt):
=> Grouping into private Forest Owner Association (FOA)
73. Management approach for smallholder private forests (ctn): challenges management
• Owners use to work individually programs foreseeing to
support:
– intensive sensitization and Organizational capacity building
– pilot champion FOA for scaling up
• Low investment capacity of smallholders programs will
support first forest conversion
• High pressure on land for crops and settlement support and
control of FOA in respect of SFMP, ensuring best Productivity
and attractive incomes
74. - Total demand of woody biomass = around 5.5 M tons/year
(92 % for cooking energy)
- While Total sustainable supply = around 2.5 M tons/year
- => gap supply/demand = more than 55%
- => incraese of over-exploitation:
- first in private forests,
- secondly in public forest
- => decraese of stock and forest productivity risk for sustainability
5. Wood energy challenges
75. IMMEDIATE action to mitigate risks REDUCE DEMAND of Woody
Biomass:
- To the maximum Rwanda’s capacity of 3,5-4 M tons/year (long term objective)
- Through 2 mains actions (in collaboration with MININFRA):
- In urban area :
- after transition period, total forbidding of traditional charcoal
- shifting to LPG, woody pellets and improved “green” charcoal
new business opportunities
- In rural area:
- full penetration of high efficient wood Improved Cooking stove (such as wood
gasifier)
- dissemination of biogas and other source of energy (LPG, etc..)
business opportunities
Wood energy opportunities:
