Abstract
This publication shares producer experiences with marketing agroforestry products, including how producers entered — or created — the markets for their products. These individual stories highlight a diversity of experiences, from family-run farms to intermediaries assisting with market access. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other federal, state, and local programs can provide capital or technical assistance to farmers at different phases of market development. The case studies in this publication highlight programs and resources available through USDA.
While marketing tree crops and non-timber forest products can be a challenge for producers, there is room for growth and opportunities to expand. Producers need to be strategic in approaching desired markets and reaching their goals. To do so may require thinking outside the box, as demonstrated in these producer case studies. It is crucial for producers to assess options and identify assistance available to support their growth.
