With a current output of over $241 million per year, nontimber
forest products (NTFPs) contribute significantly to the welfare
of rural and First Nations communities in Canada. Maple sap products,
wild mushrooms, and wild fruits are the most important NTFPs
for consumption both in Canada and abroad. However, because of
increased access to international markets by entrepreneurs along
with a growing international demand for NTFPs, it may be possible to
double or triple Canada’s NTFP harvest. As well, the development of
this industry requires that biological research be conducted to better
manage and locate the NTFP resources. To avoid depleting forest
biodiversity, future research should also address the domestication of
NTFPs.
