Collectors could use these information to raise the efficiency in the management of their business operations and to identify constraining tasks and attempts to reduce the overall production costs. Regulating agencies and economics planners could use these information to obtain an indication of the economic contribution of biodiversity resources particularly the interactions of the environment including forest, with swiftlets in EBN production.
