Conteúdo: 	Non-timber forest product estimates are one of the biggest challenges for sustainable forest management by Amazonian smallholders. Often, producers generate optimistic overestimates, which can have negative ramifi cations for buyers, who need to reliably satisfy market demand. Although Euterpe precatoria is an abundant, fruit-producing Western Amazonian palm with an established market, consistent production by smallholders is hindered by several factors: thin stems which must be skillfully climbed to reach crown fruits, rapid fruit perishability (after only about 48 hours without refrigeration), and often diffi cult access to suffi cient fruit quantities. The authors analyzed production from one landholding, mapping 12 ha of 50-m riverine transects. Seventy percent of 772 individuals were scalable, yielding an estimated 7.6 tons of fruit based on 14 kg of fruit per plant. Nonetheless, poor fruit formation and bird predation diminished production to such low levels that the harvester did not enter the market. The authors conclude that smallholder productivity estimates must go beyond individual plant yield estimates to include wildlife interactions, harvest and transportation logistics, sales price, labor availability, and social organization to potentially group smallholder sales. Perhaps consideration of these multiple factors for production estimates would increase the likelihood of smallholder business success.
