Conteúdo: | A brief account of geographic distribution, ecology, breeding, cultivation, post-harvest handling and processing is given for 7 selected indigenous amazonian fruit species (out of 76 species cited in the literature): Theobroma grandiflorum, Byrsonima crassifolia,  Platonia esculenta, Eugenia stipitata, Spondias lutea, Genipa americana and Myrciaria dubia. These species are considered as having a possible increase in their economic importance through cultivation, which is already occurring with T. grandiflorum, or from more intensive extraction form natural stands. Taste peculiarities have long been a serious constraint for the widespread acceptance of many Amazonian fruits. Difficulty in  cultivation is also a constraint for some species. On the other hand, a few lesser known species, not considered in this paper, may eventually become important fruit crops.
