Abstract
The marketing of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) through formal channels is a complicated task in the Global South because of the lack of suitable infrastructure and the influence of intermediaries. Strengthening the formal marketing process, on the one hand, can reduce the exploitation of forest products while improving the socioeconomic status of forest fringe villagers. This article examines how identifying the present problems of formal marketing system, can be enhanced in the future in the dry-deciduous forest area of West Bengal, India, where a considerable amount of dispersed Sal (Shorea robusta) forest exists.
