Botanical name is Abelmoschus
esculentus , Also known locally OKRA. Or GUMBO.
The Egyptians and Moors of the 12th and 13th
centuries used the Arabic word for the plant, bamya,
suggesting it had come from the east. The plant may have entered southwest Asia
across the Red sea or the Bab el Mandeb strait to the Arabian
Penisula, rather than north across the Sahara, or from India. One of the
earliest accounts is by a Spanish Moor who visited Egypt in 1216, who described
the plant under cultivation by the locals who ate the tender, young pods
with meal.
From Arabia, the plant spread around the shores of the Mediterranean
sea and eastward. The plant was introduced to the Americas by
ships plying theAtlantic slave trade by 1658, when its presence was
recorded in Brazil. It was further documented in Suriname in
1686. In compound farms in the rainforest of southeastern Nigeria (Okafor and
Fernandes, 1986), farmers have developed a multi-crop system that provides a
diversified and continuous production of food, combining species with different
maturity periods such as yams, cassava, cocoyams, bananas, plantain, maize,
okra, pumpkin, melon, leafy vegetables and a variety of trees and shrubs, 60 of
which provide food products. This ensures a balanced diet but also reduces the
need for storage in an area where post-harvest losses are high.
