Palm wine, is an alcoholic drink made from the sap of palm trees such as the palmyra, date palms, and coconut palms.[1] It is common in various parts of Africa, the Caribbean, South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Micronesia.
Palm wine production by smallholders and individual farmers may help conservation. Palm trees may become a source of regular household income. This may be worth more than the value of timber sold.[2][3]
