Domestication, utilization and marketing of indigenous fruit trees in West and Central Africa
This chapter discusses the progress in participatory tree domestication in West and Central Africa. The steps in participatory tree domestication are discussed: selection of priority species based on farmers’ preferences and market; orientation; collection of germplasm from elite trees chosen by farmers or other users; establishment of passport data for trees from which germplasm was collected (for future use in tracing the owners of trees in respect of property right); development of appropriate vegetative propagation techniques for the different species under domestication; integration of improved propagules in different cropping systems; and marketing studies of products from domesticated species
