price, and the resource generates some P1.8 million for households (Table 5-27). The production of
baskets and other palm products is high in the West and particularly in the South East area, with
households in both these areas generating about P1500 in benefits per producer household (Table
5-28). A higher proportion of baskets were sold in the SE area (which includes Maun). Palm leaves
and basketry together contribute a net private value of some P3.3 million.
Though focus group discussions indicated that this resource is plentiful, they did also note that it is
decreasing in abundance. Indeed, it was already noted in the 1970s and 1980s that the supply of
palm leaves around villages was becoming a problem due to overexploitation (Terry 1984).
