As negotiations to include reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) in the post-Kyoto agreements are underway, study on carbon payments for the REDD projects become urgently important. Having experienced rapid degradation and deforestation, Cambodia’s highly stocked evergreen forest is the first priority forest to be conserved if carbon payments are available. Using inventory data and timber royalties in Cambodia, we analyze the costs for and revenues from timber harvesting against that from other five land use alternatives, namely forest-to-Teak, forest-to-Acacia, forest-to-Rubber, forest-to-Oil palm, and forest conservation. Annual Equivalents Values (AEVs) for timber harvesting are $8.23–81.87 ha-1. AEVs for other alternatives are $0.92–16.16 for forest-to-Teak, $0.92–16.65 for forest-to-Rubber, and $46.38–461.35 ha-1 yr-1 for forest conservation. Forest-to-Acacia and oil palm are not profitable in Cambodia due to low productivity and high production costs. Discount rates strongly affect the revenues from all land use options. We estimate the costs for forest conservation at $0.27–2.68 MgC-1 depending on discount rates. These carbon prices are well within the range of previous studies. A well-developed conservation plan identifying the roles and responsibility of stakeholders at all levels is required to ensure the success of the REDD projects as well as the sustainable development of the local communities.
