Indian subcontinent is the major hub of biodiversity of fauna and lora. Several forest
produces have signiicant importance in social and economic life of tropical lands.
These forest produces are classiied into wood and non –wood forest produces
(NWFP). NWFP includes natural resins, gums and exudates, leaves (tendu), turpentine
from pines, and perfumery oils from roots, stumps and fruits of various tree species.
Most NWFPs are export currency earners and many are well suited for local small
scale industries. NRGs of commercial importance like lac, rosin, guar gum (Cyamopsis
tetragonolobus L.), karaya gum (Sterculia urens), dhawada gum (Anogeissus latifolia),
salai gum (Boswellia serrata), char /piyar gum (Buchanania lanzan Spreng.) and babool
gum (Acacia nilotica) are produced in India. Resins are valued for their chemical
properties and associated uses, such as the production of varnishes, adhesives and
food glazing agents. This group of natural resins includes lac secreted by an insect and
plant originated products like rosin, copal and dammer.
