| Uses: | Sago starch from this species is the traditional staple of the Punan and Penan hunter-gatherers of Borneo. Although many Punan and Penan recently have adopted agriculture on a small scale, they still depend on sago as a staple, except during the approximately three month period after the harvest when agricultural products are consumed (Brosius and de Beer as cited in de Beer and McDermott - The Economic Value of Non-Timber Forest Products) |
