"The Agricultural and Forest Products of British West Africa" by Gerald C. Dudgeon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the agricultural and forest resources in British West Africa, particularly focusing on the commercial potential of crops such as cotton, cocoa, rubber, and various oil-producing plants, as well as the socio-economic implications of their cultivation. The opening portion discusses the geographical and
climatic conditions of British West Africa, laying the groundwork for understanding the agricultural landscape. It details key factors such as land tenure, natural conditions, and major crops, emphasizing the importance of crops like groundnuts and palm oil in both local sustenance and export.
