This paper sheds light on the marketing of Dacryodes edulis in the humid forest zone of Cameroon. The results of the study show that the marketing margins are related to the type of fruits, its state (quality), the selling place and the market supply, which also depend on the production period.

Of particular interest for extractivism in tropical forest areas are useful species that occur at high density, such as the palm tucuma (Astrocaryum tucuma Martius-syn. A. aculeatum G.F.W. Meyer), a colonizer of disturbed areas in the central Amazon, whose edible fruits have found an interesting ...

Although mahogany, the most commercially important timber tree in Neotropical forests, is widely acknowledged to be threatened by unsustainable logging which does not provide for its regeneration, its fruiting dynamics are poorly understood. During each of six successive years, the authors measur...

Introduction. African fruit production, as well as regional and international fruit trade,have experienced heavy economic losses over the past decade due to the damage caused by fruitflies, especially B. invadens Drew Tsuruta & White (Tephritidae: Diptera). Bactrocera invadensattacks fruits belon...

The spatial distribution of Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot was studied in maize fields and on four major wild host plants in the Republic of Benin, West Africa. Maize ears were sampled at harvest in 1994 and 1995, and fruits of the wild host plants were collected monthly from January 1996 to Decem...
