What impact will such an increase have on production and value added in upstream (input-supplying) sectors?" Figure 6 displays in graphic form the complex information potentially available from the analysis of forward and backward linkages. This prediction could be attributed to the fact that the majority of inputs into forestry and hunting are at the household level based on labour supply, consistent with the growth in household incomes that we observed in section 3.3. It follows that growth in the forestry and hunting sector is in the interests of the household sector, an argument which the forestry ministry could use in soliciting the support of the household sector in forest conservation.
