The tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica L.) is a tree originally from Africa, from where it dispersed to several countries with tropical and subtropical climate. Brought to Brazil, the tamarind seedlings have adapted very well in several states, especially in the Northeast due to the climate semi-arid. In the village of Caboclo, municipality of Afrânio/PE, 26 plants of this fruit were cataloged. However, despite having a significant number of tamarind trees, in this location the consumption and commercial use of the fruit still does not occur significantly. Therefore, the objective of this work was to encourage the processing of tamarind fruit, the commercialization and the propagation of its derivatives by the community. Throughout the work, the community was trained to deal with this fruit, some products derived from tamarind were developed and, for all of them, a process
flow, standard formulation, packaging, gross cost of production and shelf life were established. After this, those products have being sold in the local market. Liquor and natural tamarind jelly were the products with the best acceptance.
