Abstract

Although gums, resins, and exudates are the primary products targeted for study, the scope was expanded slightly to include certain extractives, oils, dyes, pesticides, and specialty chemicals that also offer opportunities for increased utilization. Omitted from primary consideration are substances mainly used for medicine, food or fodder. Within this framework there are still innumerable non-wood products of tropical forests that could be documented here. Many of these are referred to in the compilation of species and products, but others of minor importance are omitted. The scope of the present study is further defined by the tree species considered as sources of the above-mentioned chemicals. Three categories are included: priority MPTS, additional MPTS important over narrower distribution ranges or under specific cultural situations, and specialty trees.
