大多数棕榈树被亚马逊当地人使用，并提供各种各样的产品，如可食用的水果、油、棕榈心、建筑材料和篮子。然而，只有少数物种具有显著的经济潜力。这些棕榈树主要生长在秘鲁亚马逊河流域大片浸水土壤上的季节性沼泽森林或沙质土壤上。三种特别有希望的物种——白叶仙花、弯毛毛里求斯花和欧洲花——在这些通常被认为不适合农业的土壤上构成了密集的种群。对有前途的棕榈种群的管理将有助于提高这种土壤的经济价值，将季节性沼泽森林转变为生产性农林田。
Most palm species are used by Amazonian natives and provide a variety of products, such as edible fruits, oil, palm heart, building materials, and basketry. However, only a few species have significant economic potential. These palms occur essentially in seasonal swamp forests on waterlogged soils covering vast areas in Peruvian Amazonia, or on sandy soils. Three especially promising species- Jessenia bataua, Mauritia flexuosa and Euterpe pre- catoria-constitute dense populations on these soils, which are generally considered as unfit for agriculture. The management of promising palm populations will contribute to increasing the economic value of such soils by transforming seasonal swamp forests into productive agroforestry fields.
