Safou network grows
Safou (Dacryodes edulis) is one of the most widely used fruit trees in western and central Africa, within the Sierra Leone-Great Lakes-Angola triangle. It is an important source of nutrition and income for many farmers. During the past 15 years, considerable research has been conducted on new varieties that can meet the demands of the growing subregional market. An informal grouping of researchers, extension workers, growers, and traders has now grown into a formal bilingual network known as the African Safou Network (ASANET) and Reseau Safou in French. Early in 1999, it launched its first network newsletter and its website (www.refer.org/camer_ct/rec/safoutier/bull.htm). ASANET is a good example of a network that has, with time and patience, reached maturity, just like a fruit tree.
