CPWild - Commercial Products from the Wild:

Research on Indigenous Plant Domestication and Commercialisation in Southern Africa

The Department of Forest and Wood Science at the University of Stellenbosch established the Commercial Products from the Wild Group (CPWild) in 1998 to investigate the commercialisation of indigenous plant species in Southern Africa.

The Group currently consists of:

	The Department of Forest and Wood Science
	The Post-graduate School of Agriculture and Rural Development from the University of Pretoria
	FutureWorks cc
	Ukwazisa Consulting cc
	Forestwood cc

CPWild can be seen as a multidisciplinary association of ecologic, social and economic professionals and institutions with a common mission to facilitate enterprise establishment through sustainable use of indigenous plants in rural communities.

We recognise that one of the biggest problems experienced by small-scale natural product enterprises is a lack of information and networking opportunities.  Through this website we aim at providing an information service to people and organisation's involved in natural product domestication and commercialisation.
