Abstract

Palms which produce multiple products are classified and assessed with respect to their suitability for incorporation into tropical agroforestry development projects. A total of fifty-two candidate palms are divided into three groups on the basis of their current level of domestication. Basic data are provided on each palm. These palms can furnish a variety of products for local and external markets.
