Mazri palm (Nannorrhops ritchiana (Griff) Aitch.) is a
member of the family Arecaceae, native to Pakistan,
Iran, Afghanistan, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. In Pakistan,
it is used since long time for various purposes. This
species plays a significant cultural and economic role in
the daily lives of many rural areas in Pakistan and adja-
cent countries. However, the handcrafted products
made up of this palm are often mainly known by specif-
ic local communities rather than by a broader range of
people.
Border regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan
(ex-FATA-Federally Administered Tribal Areas)
were visited, and interviews were conducted
with 17 palm growers (of which 12 were men
and 5 women), 27 Mazri farmers (all men), 23
handicrafts experts/manufacturers (21 men
and 2 women), and 19 sellers/middlemen. We
used mainly Pashto and Urdu languages
during the interviews .
