Commercial use

The tree's seeds are a source of edible oil long used by local populations and at one time exported as a government run business . An infrastructure is being developed for international scale commercial use . It is hoped that by commercializing non-timber forest products and increasing the value of forests for local people this will result in their help in conserving this natural resource .
