Please note: The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the views of ANU Forestry, the FAO or people consulted during the course of the earlier research. In addition, that research relied on the good faith of respondents to the questionnaire to provide fair and accurate information on specific out-grower schemes. The authors were unable to verify all of the information collected via the questionnaire and so, caution readers that alternate views may be held by others involved in the out-grower schemes mentioned in the paper by Desmond and Race (2000).
