Conteúdo: | Tropical fruit trees are important crops which supplement and improve the  quality of diets. Many of the species have multi-purpose uses, in that they produce non-food products for small-holders . Harvesting from these trees enables rural people to provide nutrition for a balanced diet and  generate income thus alleviating poverty. The potencial of indigenous tropical fruits has not been fully realised. The purpose of this book is to assemble information on production, processing, marketing and utilisation of tamarind, to highlight the importance of the species for nutrition and poverty alleviation. This information will be disseminated to a wide audience in both developed and developing countries. An extension manual is currently in preparation for dissemination to farmers, extension workers and policy makers.
