Abstract

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing species amongst the number of multipurpose tree species. It is socially acceptable with broad adaptability because of its versatile and multifarious uses which contribute valuably towards the human economy providing variety of goods. Looking to the global scenario of the increasing demand and decreasing supply of Bamboo for industrial as well as commercial purposes, cultivation of Bamboo through Agroforestry practices seems to have high economic return. The paper focusses on economic analysis of Agroforestry models of Bamboo cultivation through flute methods. In the present study the NPV, BCR and IRR are obtained as Rs.72550, 2.93 and 47.85 respectively at 10% discounted rate of interest.
