In rural African communities, wild plant species are a valuable resource that are often threatened by agricultural conversion and overexploitation. To understand the harvest and sale of wild plant species that provide fruits and raw materials for artisanal products, this study used ethnobotanical and socio-economic methods to engage communities in the Chimanimani Trans-Frontier Conservation Area, Mozambique. Use was dependent on local availability and market accessibility. Incomes are made from  Uapaca kirkiana  fruits in some communities and  Strychnos madagascariensis  in others; some earn money from  Cyperus  spp. mats whilst others use  Phragmites mauritianus . Less marketed items included baskets made from numerous species (including  Oxytenanthera abyssinica ) and wooden implements (e.g. made from  Pterocarpus angolensis ) which are used to process, store and transport maize. Conservation and development could potentially benefit from value-addition activities, new management systems (like agroforestry), or population protection and restoration. This should include analysis of population extents and production levels.
