Medical And Horticulture Plants Cultivation

Medicinal Plants form the major resource base of our indigenous health care traditions. The outreach and acceptability of our systems, both nationally as well as globally, are dependent on uninterrupted availability of quality medicinal plants based raw material. More than 90% of the species used in trade continue to be sourced from the wild of which about 2/3rd are harvested by destructive means.

The Cultivation of medicinal plants, therefore, is the key to meeting the raw material needs of the industry besides offering opportunities for higher levels of income, crop diversification and growth of exports. Indian exports of medicinal plants and herbs are mostly in the form of raw herbs and extracts and account for almost 60-70% of the current exports of herbal products.

The export of value added items require product development, setting up of processing facilities, quality assurance and brand promotion. Increasing concerns of unsustainable collection from the wild, disappearance of certain species on the one hand and concerns of quality and standardization on the other make it imperative to promote cultivation of species critical to our systems of medicine through appropriate financial incentives, policy, infrastructural and marketing support in a synergistic manner.
