With the World Trade Organization (WTO) substantially focusing on agriculture, the commercial aspects of growing these crops assume considerable economic significance. Within the developing world, there are countries whose sole economic sustenance depends on these crops. Even within the geographical boundary of a country, there are states whose economy is exclusively linked to certain crops. Within the developing world, there are countries whose sole economic sustenance dependson these crops.

This book will be a good read for those interested in growing trees that have commercial value.
