Methodology For Assessing Stocks Of Non-Cultivated Biological Resources Of Plant Origin (Excluding Forest Resources) And Animal Origin (Excluding Game Resources) As An Element Of National Wealth In The Republic Of Belarus

(MENAFN- RCTT) Scientific and Practical Centre for Bioresources offers consumers a Methodology for assessing stocks of non-cultivated biological resources of plant origin (excluding forest resources) and animal origin (excluding game species)-as a component of national wealth in the Republic of Belarus-under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and is looking for partners to conclude a technical cooperation agreement. Description A methodology has been developed for the first time to assess the stocks of non-cultivated biological resources of plant origin (excluding forest resources) and animal origin (excluding game species) as a component of the Republic of Belarus's national wealth.
Stock assessment under this methodology includes data on the stocks of non-cultivated biological resources-in both physical and monetary terms-at year-end, as well as information on changes occurring during the preceding reporting period. The monetary valuation of these resources employs the opportunity cost method linked to the market price of the primary product derived from the resource; this approach is based on the methodology used to calculate the cost of damage resulting from the loss or degradation of the resource.
The practical application of these valuation methodologies for non-cultivated biological resources of plant and animal origin will facilitate: a more comprehensive accounting of resources within the national wealth and the System of National Accounts of the Republic of Belarus; the justification of investments in innovative projects and the evaluation of alternative natural resource use options; and the development of strategies for economic sectors and specific territorial units.
