West Sumatra, with its high biodiversity wealth, has great potential in the development of NTFPs. In this context, WRI Indonesia is collaborating with i-Hi Consulting to conduct market and value chain research that is expected to provide valuable insights to build a sustainable NTFP-based business ecosystem in West Sumatra. In the end, the research was done to improve the viability of NTFP-based businesses around the province, which almost all of them are forest-dependent communitiess.
