Table 1. Estimated Programme Costs per Group for Each Step |
This table outlines our rough estimates of the cost for each step of the program as calculated based on data from one project. From a financial perspective, this cost can be viewed as "overhead" that would need to be amortized over the Group's total production over a defined time period to get the true cost per cubic meter of wood produced. All costs are shown in Kina per Group (1 Kina U.S. $0.75). Transport costs are perhaps higher than average because air travel was required to reach the site. These costs do not include our overhead for running and maintaining the overall programme.
