Análisis de los programas de incentivos a la reforestación implementados en Costa Rica
The incentives to promote reforestation in Costa Rica have operated since 1979, with an investment of 156 million of constant 1990 dollars and the establishment of 152 thousand plantation hectares. In this sense, the forest policy intended to promote forest plantations has reached its objectives with low efficiency and efficacy. This was mainly due to: incomplete implementation, lack of supervision and follow-up of the programs, operational difficulties, and lack of transfer of information of the forest research to producers. On the other hand, the financial and economic analysis of the plantations of Gmelina arborea, Tectona grandis and Bombacopsis quinatum demonstrate that the amount of the incentives represent a higher social cost than the benefits generated by carbon storage.
