The bark is on high demand by western pharmaceutical companies who use it to prepare a drug to treat prostate cancer.
There is an increasing global shortage as forests in Africa have been stripped of their bark.
This is an excellent market opportunity. Enterprising farmers should plant seedlings of Prunus Africana that are available at many nurseries.
