Abstract:

Indigenous fruits are those which are native to Africa, where they have originated and
evolved over centuries. These are different to exotic fruits, such as citrus and even mango,
which have been imported from other continents, although they may now be quite commonly
grown in many areas. Mango particularly is common across much of Africa but actually
originated in southeast Asia. Indigenous trees, such as marula, baobab, African plum, are
mostly found wild, although some are now planted, but they all evolved in the African environment
