| Abstract: |
| This paper provides an overview of a tree species prioritization study of
underutilized tree species in a participatory tree domestication program for smallholders
in Indonesia. The study was conducted in three villages of Nanggung subdistrict,
Bogor district via farmer surveys, focus group discussion, SWOT analysis
and evaluation of markets and germplasm sources. Five priority species were
identified: Manglietia glauca, Parkia speciosa, Durio zibethinus, Gmelina arborea and Sandoricum koetjape. These species are promising components of agroforestry
systems to enhance smallholder livelihoods and can grow under the low management
conditions common in smallholder systems. They represent indigenous and
exotic tree types that produce timber, fruit or spices within the domestication
continuum. Furthering the domestication and utilization of these species requires the
identification and dissemination of available germplasm sources, the dissemination
of high-quality germplasm and the development of farmer-friendly propagation and
tree management practices. Also, as with most smallholder systems, the marketing
practices for the products of these five species require improvement, starting with
the production of reliable quantities of high quality tree products. |
