Planting “Sour Sap” trees is one such initiative. Sour sap is a fruit which can be used in the treatment of some infections. This fruit contains significant amounts of Vitamin C, Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2. In addition the growth of fruit trees will lead to maximizing land utilization in order to achieve economic benefits.
