Description: Information on a number of food plants from Brazil that might have potential to be grown commercially in the US.
Arkcoll, D. 1990. New crops from Brazil. p. 367-371. In: J. Janick and J.E. Simon (eds.), Advances in new crops. Timber Press, Portland, OR. Brazil and especially the unexplored regions of the Amazon, are extremely rich sources of plant germplasm with potential as new crops. Establishing the correct selection criteria is important to evaluate the true potential of the many promising species by calling attention to their assets and to the missing information and problems facing each species. This must be accomplished efficiently to justify the considerable investment in relevant research needed to develop the most promising plants into commercially viable crops.
