What goods do Bambuti people receive from agricultural villagers?

The Bambuti people maintain close economic ties with neighboring agriculturalist groups in the Ituri Forest, exchanging forest resources for various goods. In return for items such as meat, honey, and labor, the Bambuti receive the following from agricultural villagers:

• Food: Starchy agricultural food crops.12
• Material Possessions: Cloth, pots, pans, ax blades, and salt.2
• Other Items: Various material items that are not available within the forest environment.2

These exchanges are facilitated by long-standing, dyadic relationships between specific Bambuti clans and villager families, which are often passed down through generations.1
