Post-harvest treatments after bush thinning efforts are considered key to maintaining a desired landscape with low bush densities and maximizing the environmental benefits associated with a stable wooded savanna ecosystem. Yet, very few farmers undertake these measures for various reasons including limited financial capacity, uncertainty on cost-effectiveness and short-term interests. Understanding the financial and economic implications of post-harvest measures for farmers is therefore an essential step for the effective promotion of post-harvest treatments that maximize environmental benefits at local and national level. The analysis of costs and benefits associated with different post-harvest measures highlights potential barriers and perverse incentives limiting the capacity and interest of land users to undertake these measures. This directly informs the potential need for external intervention to incentivize sustainable practices and minimize the adverse environmental impact of bush thinning. For this purpose, this study should be considered in conjunction with the attached Environmental Assessment of post-harvest measures and Review of Financial Mechanisms to provide a comprehensive overview of potential trade-offs between economic viability at a farm level and long-term environmental benefits at local, regional and national levels.
