Fruit trees diversify farm produce and also lead to improved nutrition and food security. Incomes from fruits improve the quality of life of farmers by providing extra income under agroforestry systems through increasing agricultural productivity, providing additional protection to soils and creating resilience to climate change impacts. Promotion of the integration of fruits on farmers is very important in making farming a profitable and less risky venture. In times of crop failure, fruits will provide incomes to facilitate the purchase of other food stuffs and are also a source of food for the household.
