Abstract:	"Non timber forest products, the fruits, roots, bark, flowers, resins, and fibres that people collect from forests, make an important contribution to both subsistence and market economies, worldwide. In India alone, more that 50 million people are estimated to depend on forests for non-timber products (hereafter, NTFP). Locally, NTFP can account for 30-40% of cash incomes for forest-dependent communities, and at a global scale the value of trade in NTFP runs into billions of dollars."
