In collaboration with partners, the
World Agro-forestry Centre established a number of fruit
processing groups in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania.
These groups are actively involved in the processing of
products such as wines and jams and sell their products in
their respective districts. During 2003 a number of these
groups and other stakeholders were consulted regarding the
fruit species and products that they prefer to process, and
other aspects such as training, marketing and general
constraints. A total of 97 people attended three workshops
at Magomero in Malawi, Tabora in Tanzania and Harare in
Zimbabwe. The three workshops highlighted the differences in
perceptions regarding fruit trees and fruit products between
commercial and community processors, as well as between
processors in different areas of southern Africa. Evidently,
communities involved with the processing of fruit, prefer to
utilize both indigenous and exotic species. In developing
agro-forestry strategies it would be critical to consider
these differences between processing groups. The focus
should be on a range of tailor-made domestication and
commercialization strategies for different processing
groups, levels of commercial development and geographic
regions. Such a strategy could present regional development
agencies an opportunity to concentrate on smaller more
focused projects instead of large regional initiatives that
are difficult to manage. |
