Koa Economics and Resource Values
I will discuss koa economics and marketing focusing particularly on stumpages and values of the resource base itself. That's where I think all of the economics come from. If a landowner doesn't make the decisions to plant trees or protect his forest so that the trees will grow, we won't have any koa as a resource base, and there won't be any economics. I'm just going to focus on what happened with the royalties over the past 16 years, and it's quite interesting.
