This paper explores the contribution of biogeotextile mat production to household incomes and farmers' participation in, awareness of and perceptions of the benefits of biogeotextiles for soil and water conservation and agricultural production. Mat production can be a source of additional household income where wage rates are low, raw materials are inexpensive and transportation costs are low. The use of locally available raw materials, which would otherwise be wasted, helps to reduce production costs. To be able to compete with industrial geotextile products on the market and to be economically viable, a cottage-scale industry as a secondary part-time occupation appears to be an appropriate mode of production.
