This is a general list of crops grown in the region that are dependent on pollinators. For most of these crops, we have not had the benefit of extensive studies, and much remains to be learnt about their interactions with pollinators.Some crops are 100% dependent on pollinators, without whose pollination services there are simply no yields, as with watermelon, and passionfruit. In other cases as with coffee, and runner beans, pollinators contribute to the volume and improved quality of yields.
For many crops where we consume the vegetative leaves or roots (such as kales, terere, carrots), we still require pollinators for the production of seed.
