Furniture for sale. In Yoyato, the carpentry sold one mahogany table to colonists

for 40 sol (US$ 11), a product valued at 260 sol (US$ 74) in the nearest city. Money from

this sale was used to buy more fuel to sustain the carpentry.

 In Camantavishi, one set of furniture consisting of two benches and one table was

sold to a colonist for 80 sol (US$ 22). This money was distributed as follows: 18 sol to

buy fuel for the carpentry, 20 sol for the village leader, and 42 sol for the carpentry

operator.

 Yoyato villagers expressed their intent to sell more furniture in the future when

they become better trained in cost calculations. Camantavishi people expressed that they

would like to make more furniture for sale upon improving their products. In Tinkareni,

the carpentry has not produced any furniture for sale to date. The district municipality

inquired about a furniture purchase from Tinkareni carpentry, but the village responded

that the carpentry could not meet this demand because it lacked official registration as an

enterprise. However, some Tinkareni villagers expressed interest in making furniture for

sale.

Benefits

 Benefits from the carpentry operation are classified into benefits at the household

level and benefits at the village level. The higher frequency of responses of benefits at

household level than at village level in open-ended questions suggests that for most

villagers benefits at the household level are the most important. In all three villages,

benefits received at the household level (74%) were more frequently cited than benefits

received at the village level (34%) (Figure 3-2).
