Loan financing of small landowners in the vicinity of the mill of the Paper Industries Corporation of the Philippines (PICOP) for pulpwood production was successful for the sponsor, but only partly successful for the participant because of typhoon damage, low purchase prices and high harvesting costs. A World Bank loan aimed at reducing fuelwood shortages for small tobacco farmers in the Ilocos region was not successful (low participation rate, high tree mortality and fire losses).
