Inventory of non timber forest products of plant origin sold in Kinshasa, DRCongo

Exporter la citation

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are important for both rural and urban populations, but its products are not well known. It is difficult to know precisely the number of NTFPs exploited in Kinshasa as well as their prices (Ndona, 2004; Toirambe, 2005). The world’s growing interest in biodiversity has recently engendered a systematic inventory of the multitude of products that can be extracted from the forest (FAO, 2001). Consequently, there is an urgent and indispensable need to carry out studies of plant and fungal NTFPs sold in the markets of Kinshasa, and more specifically in East Kinshasa, in order to ensure traceability and specification so as to build up a reliable database aimed at sustainable management. It is against this backdrop that this study has been carried out
