The potential of Allanblackia species for wealth creation

A new agri-business based on Allanblackia oil is being developed in Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon and Tanzania. This rural based enterprise would not only increase livelihood opportunities for farmers but also ensures the retention of trees in farms. Wild collection has been found to be unsustainable. Farmers have found the need for planting rather than reliance on sourcing oil solely from natural stands. The current domestication research has developed methods for propagation of superior selections identified from existing wild populations. Through this it is possible to achieve rapid and substantial genetic improvement in yield and in oil production.
