The information was obtained through field observation techniques, interviews and oral communication. 74 NTFPs were identified belonging to 10 categories of generic use of which stressed 'Medicinal' and 'Food and beverages' represented by 54,1% and 21,6%, respectively, of total products found.

It was recorded that the fruits of Panopsis rubra, are secondary foods consumed by people, whose proximate analysis revealed the contents of appreciable amounts of carbohydrate (85,43%), indicating that they can be very helpful as a supply of energy for the human being.
