Does Logging Industry Enhance Economic Benefits to Local Communities in Solomon Islands?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In Solomon Islands, export-driven economy is heavily dependent on logging industry. Logging companies are annually increasing log and timber supplies to satisfy strong demand for wood in Asian countries. The average log prices have been increasing according to higher global demand which should be reflected in higher income for local communities. Most of the raw material is exported without being further processed domestically, that means the potential jobs and value-added wood products are lost. Solomon Islanders are losing the opportunity to gain more economic benefits from the logging industry. This article evaluates to what extent the logging industry brings economic benefits to local communities and focuses on overall change in their livelihood and economic conditions over the last decades. With increasing prices of logs and timber on a global scale, the foreign corporations and logging companies profit the most, while economic situation in local communities haven&apos;t been improved significantly.
