Cultivation
Pacay is cultivated mainly for its fruits; the fruits of other Inga species in areas such as the Andes are by-products of trees whose main purpose is to shade plantations of coffee and cacao. Examples of these species include: I. edulis, I. vera, I. adenophylla, and I. densiflora. The fruits of I. densiflora are sold in markets and fruit stalls, especially in Colombia. In regions such as the Andean mountains, the tree produces a crop twice a year.
