“…The general linear model is commonly estimated using ordinary least square (OLS) which had become one of the most widely used analytical techniques in social sciences (Hutcheson, 2011). Studies have used the multiple regression model to identify the determinant of the output or the profitability of the production in agriculture (Miassi et al, 2020). Some of the statistics in social sciences are basically derived from linear models which simply means making attempt to fit a straight line to data collected.…”

IntroductionSesame is an important cash crop that can be grown with limited resources. In recent decades it has drawn interests of many researchers and developers. This study analyzed the economics of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) produced in northern region of the Republic of Benin.MethodsStructured questionnaire was used to gather primary data from 120 farmers who made up the sample size and were chosen using a multistage sampling technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, profitability analytical tools, multiple regression analysis and Likert scale rating technique. Profitability analytical tools were used to assess the economic performance of the sesame production; a multiple regression model was used to analyze factors that determine the output of the production in the study area; a 5-point Likert scale rating technique was utilized to rank the production's challenges according to farmers' observations.ResultsThe findings revealed that sesame is mainly produced in sole cropping system and in rotation with other crops. The net farm income analysis showed that sesame farming was a profitable venture in the study area. The study also showed that factors like age, household size, crop rotation, and capital input influence the revenue of sesame production. While age, household size and capital input have a beneficial and significant influence on the farms' net revenue from sesame produce, crop rotation has a negative effect on it. Amongst the various constraints identified, the most significant ones are access to labor and land, uneven ripening, lack of storage facilities and access to improved seed.DiscussionBased on these results, authorities in agricultural sector should develop and promote this value chain at the national level as it will greatly boost the country's economy.

“…India, Thailand and China are the main importers of teakwood as roundwood and sawnwood (Kollert and Walotek 2017;Miassi et al 2021). Although these countries import teakwood from both forest plantations and natural forests, the majority of imports are from forest plantations.…”

“…Although these countries import teakwood from both forest plantations and natural forests, the majority of imports are from forest plantations. The growing demand for teakwood from forest plantations is driven by conservation policies aimed at www.forest-journal.com reducing logging in natural teak forests in countries such as Myanmar, India, Lao PDR, and Thailand (Kollert and Walotek 2017;Miassi et al 2021). In addition, India's position as the third largest country in the global construction market has fostered a significant preference for teakwood (ITTO 2024).…”

“…The dynamics of the global teak market represent an opportunity for tropical countries, where suitable biophysical conditions are favorable for the establishment of commercial teak plantations. As a result, countries such as Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panamá, Ivory Coast, and Ghana are becoming major exporters of teak logs, while Brazil, Tanzania, Indonesia, and Myanmar are major exporters of teak sawnwood (Kollert and Walotek 2017;Miassi et al 2021).…”

Identifying sites with adequate biological productivity is a critical factor in ensuring timber production and the profitability of forest-based investments. The productivity of forest sites is influenced by climatic, edaphic and topographic variables, as well as by silvicultural practices. Site index is a phytocentric method widely used to assess site productivity and its estimation is based on dominant height growth modeling. Teak is the fifth most planted forest species in Colombia, and its importance is associated with high economic returns and profitability. This study aims to model dominant height growth using the generalized algebraic difference approach for teak plantations established in the Caribbean region of Colombia. The Lundqvist-Korf model, in which the correlation of the residuals was handled with a continuous autoregressive specification of the first order, resulted in a satisfactory statistical estimation of the dominant height growth. The results indicate that in the Caribbean region of Colombia, productive sites for the establishment of teak plantations can be found as productive as in some tropical American countries and better than some sites in Asian countries. This suggests a potential for the expansion of teak plantations and forest-based investments in Colombia.
