AB Farmers may be keen to grow timber trees for savings if they have no superior strategy for savings, while rejecting growing of trees for cash income if they already have a successful strategy for earning cash income from off-farm labour or crops. However, with the decline in commodity prices of farmers principal cash crops e.g coffe, farmers are increasingly viewing timber as an active cash generating farm enterprise. this trend is further spurred by the decline in plantation and forest cover in tropical countries, opening opportunities for greater timber as an enterprise, seek for a multipurpose tree that will complement other enterprises on the farm, yet yield timber as a final product.
