Identification of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

suitable for Cultivation and inclusion in
Afforestation and Income Generation Programmes
Introduction
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has been awarded a project titled Identification
of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) suitable for cultivation and inclusion in
afforestation and income generation programmes of NAEB, MoRD and state agencies. The
project is a component of the GoI, UNDP-GEF Project Mainstreaming conservation and
sustainable use of medicinal plant diversity in three Indian states. The UNDP-GEF project
is implemented in the state of Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The
project aims to mainstream long-term conservation, sustainable and equitable use of
medicinal plant diversity into forest management policy and practice at the national, state
and local level.
TERI has been awarded the component, Identification of MAPs suitable for cultivation and
inclusion in afforestation and income generating programmes for the state of Uttarakhand.
Objectives of the study

The objectives of the study awarded to TERI was to identify approximately 5-6 species each
of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) suitable for cultivation & inclusion in
afforestation programmes and income generation programmes. The overall goal of study
was to identify MAPs suitable to be promoted on a large scale for cultivation and
afforestation programmes to augment livelihood of the communities.
Tasks
The tasks assigned to TERI were as follows:
1. Develop criteria for prioritization of MAPs for cultivation and afforestation
programs.
2. Prepare state-wise priority lists of potential species for cultivation and afforestation
from primary and secondary sources (5-6 species of medicinal plants and 5-6 species
of aromatic plants) for commercial cultivation for the state, based on market study
and comparative returns to the growers of the state in different geographical zones
(alpine, temperate and sub-tropical) of Uttarakhand.
3. Validate and finalise the priority lists through field/market surveys.
4. Collate from published sources cultivation/ plantation packages in respect of
selected species, and bring out available packages in the form of a manual.
5. Training of concerned staff/ farmer groups.
Methodology
The step-wise methodology that was adopted to conduct the study is discussed in detail as
given below:
1
Review of secondary information

The foremost step followed for conducting the assignment was review and analysis of
secondary information. For this, published and unpublished literatures available in the
public domain viz. documents of client, scientific papers, articles, reports, books etc. were
reviewed. Review of studies of similar nature carried out by different researchers was also
done. Information on market analysis and comparative return to growers in the different
regions of Uttarakhand was reviewed and analysed. This along with primary data collected
from the field formed an important data source for conducting the economic analysis.
In Uttarakhand, lot of organization and institutes are working on medicinal and aromatic
plants. Some of them are well known for this sector. During our study, we have contacted
these institutes and collected their published information. All the information is being used
in this report.
Develop criteria for prioritization of MAPs

There were lot of discussion and arguments to select the criteria for prioritization of MAPs.
Every criterion has its merits and limitations. After long discussion the broad criteria that
were adopted to identify the prioritized list of MAPs suitable for cultivation and
afforestation for the state of Uttarakhand were:
Profitability factor
Availability of planting material
Agro technology (published, reliable and tested)
Market demand /supply position and future projections
Scope for value addition / processing
Farmers acceptability
Utilization range (single or multisector)
History of cultivation
Crop suitability to State (in terms of agro-climatic conditions)
Apart from above we also considered factors like:
Conservation status & Ecological factors
Technical support available in concerned organisations
Level of ease for cultivation and shelf life of produce
Infrastructure for producing planting material
Price fluctuation pattern
Yield and gestation period
Cost of cultivation
Government subsidy (Vetted by SMPB and NMPB)
Market survey
A market survey was conducted to determine the MAPs traded and were of trade
importance for the state. For the purpose of the study two level market surveys were
conducted
Regional market survey and
National market survey
The regional market survey was conducted in the regional mandis (markets) at Rishikesh,
Tanakpur, Ramnagar as well as Dehradun and Haridwar. Khari Baoli at Delhi was selected
as a representative site for the national level trading centre for raw MAPs.
Selection of traders/ suppliers/ industries using plant based raw materials

The following documents were referred for shortlisting the traders/suppliers and industries
for the market survey.
List of Growers, Manufacturers, Exporters and Traders provided by the Uttarakhand

Medicinal Plant Board (SMPB)
HRDI Farmers Bulletin Booklet titled Herbal Uttaranchal: Present market Scenario
dated 2007.
List of Ayurveda/ Siddha/ Unani licenced manufacturing units provided by

Department of Health, AYUSH, Uttarakhand
List of AllottedPharma City Selaqui provided by the State Infrastructure and

Industrial Development Corporation of Uttarakhand Ltd
List of Growers Manufacturers Exporters and Traders available on the website of the
National Medicinal Plant Board (NMPB)
List provided by CAP, Dehradun for Aromatic sector
Thirty eight traders/ suppliers of MAPs were shortlisted for the regional and national level
market survey. Other than traders, approximately sixty three industries using plant based
raw materials located in Dehradun, Selaqui, Haridwar and Rishikesh, New Delhi were
shortlisted for assessing raw material (plant based) demand in their units. Industries using
plant based raw materials were another important stakeholder for our study. Table 1
provides brief information on the important stakeholders for the market survey and the
locations were the surveys were conducted.

Designing of questionnaires for collection of data

A semi-structured questionnaire survey format (see Annexure 1) was designed to collect
detailed information of plant materials / extracts used by industries/ traders/ suppliers in
their establishment. The different information collected were
Information on the major medicinal plants / extracts used/ handled by each

respondent
quantum of material used/ traded volume
place of procurement (% of the plant material procured from the state), reasons for
procurement from other states
source (whether collected from wild/ cultivated or supplied by trader/

manufacturer/ supplier, part of the plant used/ traded
Discussion with traders/ suppliers

Discussion with major traders/ suppliers in the major trading hubs of the regional
marketing centres of Uttarakhand like Dehradun, Haridwar, Tanakpur and Ramnagar, was
conducted to have an understanding of the major MAPs traded and of trade importance for
the state. To have an understanding of the trading mechanism and important MAPs traded,
Khari Baoli in Delhi was selected as a representative national trading centre for the purpose
of the study. See Annexure 4 for the list of traders/ suppliers contacted for the market
survey.
Discussion with industries

Discussions with few selected industries using plant based raw materials were carried out to
find out the demand of plant based raw materials used in their units. For this on-site visit,
telephonic calls and email exchanges were carried out. Considering the nature of trade and
use of raw MAPs and their extracts, the record of utilization of raw material by Ayurveda or
Siddha or Unani Licensed manufacturing Units submitted to the Department of Health
AYUSH under the mandated Drug and Cosmetic (First Amendment) Rules, 2008, was used
to triangulate and validate information shared by the selected industries. Please see
Annexure 3 for the list of industries selected for the study.
Validation in the field

To have an understanding of the ground realities and to have first-hand information on the
different costs, benefits, problems, faced by farmers cultivating MAPs at the time of the
study, a primary survey was conducted. A survey format (see Annexure 2) was specifically
designed to collect information from the cultivators. For this 14 villages spread across three
districts in Garhwal and 13 villages spread across three districts in Kumaon region were
selected. The list of farmers registered for cultivation provided by HRDI, and list of
cultivators from the NMPB website and further discussion with the master trainers of HRDI
and CAP provided a base for selection of the villages for the market survey. Table 2 and 3
provides a list of villages selected for primary survey in the Garhwal and Kumaon region
respectively.
Broadly the region constitutes of 13 districts falling in two major administrative units viz.,
Garhwal (northwest portion) and Kumaon (southeast portion). Garhwal Division consists of
7 districts, i.e. Dehradun, Haridwar, Uttarkashi, Tehri, Pauri, Rudra Prayag and Chamoli
while remaining 6 districts viz., Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, Almora, Nainital, Champawat and
Udham Singh Nagar fall in Kumaon division.

Stakeholder consultation
A stakeholder consultation was conducted at the Shri Hari Krishi Kutir Udhyog Avam
Grameen Prayatan Pradarshni at Munsyari, Pithoragarh District, Uttarakhand to present the
preliminary findings of the study and get feedback from the stakeholders. The participants
included farmers from the neighbouring villages, representatives from CAP, HRDI and
Bhesaj Sangh.
Economic analysis
Economic analysis for most of the prioritized species for Uttarakhand was done. For some
species economic analysis could not be carried due to lack of data. The approach and
methodology adapted for the economic analysis is briefed below:
13
Approach
The net return to the cultivator has been used as one of the criteria for prioritization of the
medicinal plant species. Cultivators/ collectors typically receive low returns as compared to
the final market price due to significant mark-ups in the trading route, and the unorganized
and diffuse modes of marketing. This results in unsustainable extraction patterns and/or
low incentives for cultivation. It is therefore important to assess the economic returns to
cultivators for the set of species that have been shortlisted based on demand by end users.
The net returns for selected medicinal plant species have been calculated based on estimates
of market prices and the costs of cultivation. Since a majority of the species have a gestation
period of 10 years or less, a time horizon of 10 years has been used for benefit-cost
calculations as a general principle. It is possible that there would be multiple cultivation
cycles during this time frame; the analysis includes all benefits accruing during the 10 year
time horizon irrespective of the number of cycles so that results can be meaningfully
compared across species.
Methodology
The economic analysis has been carried out with the following broad steps:
Step 1: The gross returns are calculated based on input cost estimates and the market price
estimates suitably adjusted for trade margins, wherever necessary. The time trends for
prices have been computed for selected species; however no significant trends were
observed, and all values are therefore reported in current year prices. The yields are
converted to annual figures, taking into account the number of harvests in a year in case of
multiple harvests. It is assumed that there is no change in the annual yield as reported in
published literature or as observed in the field.
Step 2: The input costs are based on available published literature, validated in several cases
by primary surveys. The costs have been adjusted for inflation wherever applicable. For
such adjustment, the Consumer Price Index for Agricultural and Rural Labourers is used.
The costs are classified into fixed and recurring, and based on an analysis of costs for annual,
biennial and perennial species, 55-65% of total costs have been booked as recurring costs in
the analysis.
Step 3: The benefit streams over 10 years have been computed, since a majority of the
selected species yield benefits over this period. The average gestation period of the selected
species is less than 3 years and hence the assumed time horizon appears reasonable. Besides,
it is reasonable to assume that the decision to cultivate a specific species is based on
expected returns over the short run.
Step 4: Undiscounted and discounted (@ 6%) benefit streams are then projected and benefitcost ratios calculated.
Findings of the study

Review of secondary information
Uttarakhand a predominantly hilly state lying in the Himalayan foothills has abundant
biological resources. The varying altitudinal ranges ranging from the subtropical to the
alpine ranges with varying climatic conditions has made the forest resources of state rich in
biological diversity including medicinal and aromatic plants.
14
Globally the use of MAPs has gained importance due to renewed interest in alternative
therapy/ remedies and their limited side effects as compared to their modern counterparts.
Rapid growth in demand for plant based raw materials for manufacturing food flavours,
fragrances, perfumes, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and related products has also resulted in
greater demand of MAPs.
With soaring demand of plants having medicinal and aromatic properties, availability of
these species has been impacted in their natural habitats. It is estimated that more than 350
plant species are estimated to be vulnerable and threatened in Uttarakhand, 161 being rare
and threatened ones. CAMP workshop was held during May 2003 at Shimla to assess the
threat status of prioritized medicinal plants of Uttarakhand. During this process 60 species
were assigned the Red List (RL) status of near threatened (NT) and above. Out of these 60
species, 16 species have a global RL status as these are endemic to the Himalayan region. 7
species have been assigned Critically Endangered (CR) status, 18 species are Endangered
(EN), 23 species are Vulnerable (VU) and 12 species are Near Threatened (NT). 18 of these
Red Listed medicinal plant species have been recorded in high volume trade, as per the
national level trade study. Aconitum heterophyllum, Nardostachys grandiflora and
Picrorhiza kurroa are the highest priority for the state as these are in high volume trade in
addition to their Critically Endangered status. Habitat degradation, lack of sustainable
harvesting, unscientific harvesting practices, illegal exploitation and over exploitation to
meet the demands of illegal trade are some of the reasons for the dwindling population of
these species in the forests of Uttarakhand.
In such scenario, ex-situ production or cultivation of MAPs offer hopes to curb over
extraction, reduce pressure on forests by enabling the economically important species to
grow undisturbed in their natural habitats, ensure regular supply for trade and conserve the
biodiversity of the region.
Research studies carried out by different scholars on the economics of cultivation of MAPs
also show promising results. Though the gestation period of most of the medicinal plants is
long the final return is high as compared with traditional food crop (Mittal 2008).
The Central Government through the Ministries of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of
Agriculture, National Horticulture Mission, Department of Science and Technology and
others has been steadily trying to give a strong push for an herbal movement in the country
andUttarakhand has been a fore runner in it. Two separate institutions under the
Department of Horticulture has been established to promote the cultivation of

MAPs- the Herbal Research Development Institute (HRDI) at Mandal in Chamoli
district to promote and expand the cultivation of medicinal plants and the Centre for
Aromatic Plants (CAP) at Selaqui in Dehradun for Aromatic Plants. The State
Medicinal Plant Board was established in 2001 for overall co-ordination and
development of the herbal sector in the state. The Uttarakhand Forest Development
Corporation (UFDC) is assisting in the sustainable collection and marketing of
medicinal plants from the wild and the Bhesaj Vikas Ikai (District Development
Unit) for capacity building and marketing of cultivated medicinal plants.UFDC hosts
an auction periodically at Rishikesh, Ramagar and Tanakpur. However on account
of poor participation of buyers these market auctions have so far failed to deliver
desired results. HRDI has also been hosting regular individual buyer-seller meets.
In 2000, National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) was established to coordinate all matter
related to Medicinal Plants in India. NMPB published list of 32 medicinal plants which were
prioritised for cultivation in India. In 2003, the State Government of Uttarakhand took a
15
formal decision to promote herbal cultivation in the State. As a part of this policy decision,
the Govt. of Uttarakhand prioritized 26 plant species for mass scale cultivation. Subsidy for
cultivation of the prioritized species was promoted to boost the process of inducting an
herbal movement in the State (Annx 12). The prioritized species for cultivation are:

In 2003, Centre for Aromatic Plants was also established by State Government to focus on
Aromatic plants cultivation and value addition. CAP have also promoted some aromatic
species for cultivation in state of Uttarakhand. Their list includes Lemon grass,
Chamomile, Damask Rose, Mint, Geranium, Rosemary, Pachauli, Citronella, etc.
Review of literature on similar studies by different researchers is summarized below. Bisht
and Badoni (2009) identified twelve species that were important commercial cultivation and
16
conservation for the district of Uttarkashi. These species were Meetha Vish (Aconitum
balfourii), Atees (Aconitum heterophyllum), Gokhru (Tribulus terrestis), Kakrasinghi
(Pistacia intergerrina), Berberis (Berberis aristata), Guggul (Tanacetum dolicophyllum),
Gubankh (Angelica archangelica), Chirayata (Swertia chirayata) and Ashvagandha
(Withania somnifera).
Rawat and Vashisth (2012) were shortlisted 32 species suitable for cultivation in the Bhabhar
region of Garhwal Himalayas, Uttarakhand. These species are Ratti (Abrus precatorious),
Atibalaa (Abutilon indicum), Apmarga (Achyranthes aspera), Vasaka (Adhathoda
zeylanica), Bel (Aegle marmelos), Kumara (Aloe barbadensis), Neem (Azadirachta indica),
Punarnava (Boehavia diffusa), Semal (Bombax malbarichum), Jal Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri),
Palash (Butea monosperma), Amaltas (Cassia fistula), Bargad (Ficus bengalensis), Jamun
(Eugenia jambolana), Karu (Holarrhena antidysentrica), Daikan (Melia azedarach), Lajalu
(Mimosa pudica), Arandi (Ricinus communis), Kantakari (Solanum surattense), Giloy (
Tinospora cordifolia), Siwain (Vitex negundo) and Ashwagandha (Withania sonniferra).
Phondani et.al. (2011) were shortlisted the five species viz. Rosemarinus officinalis,
Asparagus racemosus, Ocimum basilium, Valeriana jatamansi and Matricaria chamomilla as
high commercial value plants for western Himalayas by conducting a series of participatory
rural appraisals with farmers, villagers and traders.
FRLHT Bangalore in 2008 conducted survey for Demand and supply of medicinal plants in
India. It was found that following species primarily coming from Himalayan states are
under cultivation in the Himalayan states - Inula racemosa (Pushkarmool), Saussurea costus
(Kuth), Picrorhiza kurroa (Kutki), Aconitum heterophyllum (Atees), Valeriana jatamansi
(Tagar),
Since many lists of priorities have been prepared and published by different
organisations, it is important to review the prioritized species for cultivation, considering
that the 26 species were prioritized in 2006. Also there is no doubt that promotion
cultivation of MAPs on a large scale would be successful only if it caters to the market
demand.
Market Survey Analysis and prioritization of species

The prioritization of species suitable for cultivation and afforestation programme for the
state of Uttarakhand was done by analysing data collected from the market survey. The
broad steps used for the analysis of the market survey data is discussed below.
The first step was prioritization of species traded in the market and also used by
herbal based industries in Uttarakhand
The criteria used for prioritization for the two major stakeholders (traders and
herbal industries) were as follows:
o
The number of industries using each of the species and the average annual
consumption by each of the industry.
The average annual traded volume for each species for survey with the
traders at major mandis in Uttarakhand viz; Dehradun, Haridwar, Tankpur
and Ramnagar.
From the market survey it was found that approximately 523 species of MAPs were traded.
This includes all MAPs traded by the selected traders/suppliers and industries selected for
the study. Further review of the trade data showed that some species were insignificant and
17
hence removed. Remaining approximately 100 species were discussed with experts and
species that were not procured from Uttarakhand and not feasible for cultivation in the state
were identified. Those species were also removed to bring down the list of cultivable and
marketable MAP species to approximately 85 including Dasmool and Ashtverg species. All
Dasmool and Ashtaverg spp hold good market including local use, important for soil and
biodiversity conservation (Table - 6).

List of MAPs selected for cultivation and afforestation/agroforestry

MAPs ranked on the basis of different criteria (Ref page 2) were presented to different
experts in the State which were either recommended by SMPB or by other organisations.
The experts have suggested species for cultivation and afforestation/agroforestry on the
basis of their experience. The highest percentage of suggested MAPs were futher assessed
for selection of 10 species for cultivation and 10 species for afforestation/agroforestry based
on future market projection, utilization range (single or multisector) and other important
cretaria. Each experts inputs linked with identified cretaria are put in one tabulated format
(Table no 8 and 10). On the basis of experts suggestions we have prepared three lists for
i) medicinal, ii) aromatic and iii) afforestation/agroforestry.

Table 11 List of plants which shows the potential for cultivation

This list includes name of the species which are having good potential for large scale
cultivation but due to some factors they are not picking up. In some cases there is absence of
constant or huge demand, sometimes tough competition by other states, lack of tested
agronomical practices, non-availability of planting material, etc.
S. No.
Botanical Name
Common Name
Remarks
Nardostachys
grandiflora
Jatamansi
Although species is critically endangered and very

important plant for ASU system, unfortunately its
cultivation is not economically viable as it is difficult to
cultivate, agronomical practises needs to be tested and
furthermore planting material is not available easily.
Aconitum balfourii
Meetha Vish
Lack of constant market demand and on the same time

lack of planting material is hindering the cultivation
prospects. It is very poisonous.
Swertia chirayata
Chiraita
Cultivation is difficult. Planting material is not available.

Lots of species under genus Swertia found in Uttarakhand;
so very difficult to identify the relevant species. Moreover,
good population is found in wild in North East
Carum carvi
Kala Zira
It is already growing in higher Himalayas in sufficient

quantity. Current produce seems to be sufficient for
existing demand. Howerver, extraction of caraway oil can
be a value added product.
Bunium persicum
Himachali Kala
Zira
High demand. It is already growing in Hemachal Pradesh

in large scale
Pelargonium
odorantissimum
Geranium
Hedychium spicatum
Kapoor Kachri
Not in great demand and wild population are available

across the state. Needs more market study before
focussing on its cultivation. Planting material is not
readily available.
Rheum australe
Ravandchini
Not much used in the medicines and demand is also

moderate.
Inula racemosa
Pushkarmool
This plant species is grown in cold climate of Himachal

Pradesh and the state of Jammu and Kashmir. However,
due to high demand of apples and other high altitude
vegetables from these states, production and supply of
Pushkarmool is low. On the other hand, this species has
been successfully planted and grown in parts of Chamoli
In year 2003, Geranium was grown commercially under

the Geranium BIG PUSH PLAN by Govt of Uttrakhand
however due to low yield and withering of the crops
during rainy season, this species was not economically
viable and not beneficial to the farmers.

and Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand. One plant (crop) after a
time span of two years can yield 1.5 grams of roots. These
roots are used extensively in preparation of
Chyavanprash.
Hence looking at the high demand of Pushakarmool its
important to include this species in the list of important
medicinal plants of Uttarakhand
10
Paris polyphylla
Satwa
Rhizomes contain sugar and 2 glucosides, that is,

aparidine and apsristapnin. It is useful in the treatment of
heart diseases, asthma andbronchitis. Rhizomes are used
as anthelmintic and tonic by local inhabitants of Garhwal,
Hence, can be promoted its cultivation.
11
Naag Chhatri
(Chhota Satwa)
It is also contain sugar and 2 glucosides, that is, aparidine

and apsristapnin. Rhizomes are used in the treatment of
dysentery by local inhabitants of Garhwal. Impotant plant
- can be promoted.
12
Acorus calamus
Buch
State has limited marshy land, which is required for the

species cultivation. Produce is also coming in large scale
from other states. Can be taken up for cultivation in
limited area to meet local industrial demand within in
state is being promoted by forest department also.
13
Amomum subulatum
Badi Ilaichi
Tough competition from other states and needs more

scientific studies. Presently very less area is under
cultivation and can be promoted. This is shade loving (6075%) and moisture loving plant.
14
Allium stracheyi
Jammu Faran
Jammu Faran has been brought under cultivation by the

Bhotiyas of the Niti valley for a long time (1960s) as a
kitchen garden crop. Villagers of the Niti and Mana
valleys of Chamoli District and villagers of Milam, Darma
and Byans valleys of Pithoragarh District cultivate this
species for their own consumption.
15
Pleurospermum
angeliodes
Chippi/Gandray
ad
This plant species is mostly grown by Bhotiya

communities in high alpine areas of Chamoli, Bageshwar
and Pithoragarh. The roots are used in preparation of
various spices as well as used in case of stomach ache
which is the medicinal use of the plant. In the local
markets, the roots are sold off at Rs 10-20 per 10 grams of
the weight.
Hence its important to include this species in the list of
important medicinal plants of Uttarakhand
16
Salam panja
Difficult to cultivate and planting material is not available

Agro techniques not standardized.

Economic analysis
Benefit - Cost Rato (BCR) for the prioritised species has been calculated based on the
following formula:
Where Bt and Ct refer to the benefit and cost in year t, r is the discount rate and T is the time
horizon of analysis. The BCR is the ratio of the Present Value of Benefits realised and costs
incurred in each year within the time horizon.
The following table shows the result of analysis of the 10 selected species. The analysis is
based on a time horizon of 10 years and a discount rate of 6%. In the case of agroforestry
crop, the analysis is based on a time horizon of 15 years to account for the longer rotation
period of these trees. BCR of some other important species were also analysed (Annx 9b).
BCR is based on the figures obtained from CAP, HRDI, IHBT, FFDC and farmers feedback
(Annx 7, 8, 9, 10, 11).

Sources of supply
The respondents informed that supply of traded MAPs was sourced from different states
across the country. The supply of a particular species was done from several states in the
country, depending on their availability. Hence, for a particular species the respondents
were not able to identify the exact location (state) from where they procured. This was also
because the raw material was passed through several hands before finally reaching them.
Training workshop
TERI presented a lecture to two batches of cultivators in the Farmers training workshop
organized by CAP at Selaqui, Dehradun from 19- 21 December 2012. The training workshop
was organized by CAP to train farmers on the prioritized MAPs. The list of pharmaceutical
industries, growers, traders and suppliers visited during the study was also shared with the
cultivators.
Conclusion
There is a growing demand of consumers worldwide for herbal and natural products to
meet both the healthcare needs and dietary supplements, which has opened up new
opportunities for the medical plant based industries. However, this market propelled
demand has created tremendous pressure on the natural resource. More than 90% of the
species used in trade continued to be sourced from the wild of which 2/3rd are harvested by
destructive means to meet ever-increasing pharmaceutical requirements, which led to threat
natural regeneration and at times leads several plants on the verge of extinction, like in
Uttarakhand 60 medicinal plants are listed under different category of threat. There is a need
to look into the sustainable harvest of the medicinal plants as well as conserve these
resources in natural habitats. To make the raw material available to industries there is a need
to go for large scale cultivation of MAPs. Uttarakhand is unique in way of different agroclimatic zone and different types of forests and wide range of biodiversity. Selection of
proper species for cultivation is very crucial for overall development of the medicinal plant
sector in the state. Under this study after rigorous field surveys and interaction with experts
we have finalised six medicinal and four aromatic plants for cultivation in different
altitudes. Likewise species for afforestation and agro-forestry was also finalised after
41
consultation with experts and forest department officials. We hope these species can change
the scenario of Uttarakhand medicinal plants scenario in coming years.
Suggestions for promoting cultivation

The development of medicinal and aromatic plant species have many comparative
advantages in the state, therefore the sector needs due weightage for its role in rural area
development. The state provides suitable microclimate for development of MAP species at
all elevations. The state has huge advantage to promote high altitude medicinal and
aromatic plants because of considerable area under such habitat.
Selecting an herb for cultivation is not an easy task when accumulated literature remains
clueless about the selection and preference of economically cultivable medicinal plants. In
view of increasing global popularity of herbal products, cultivation of medicinal plants to
ensure constant supply can be an important alternative source of economy in the state. But
there is a need to generate awareness on various aspects of MAPs among the farmers and
people of Uttarakhand. The lack of effective marketing infrastructure and postharvest
techniques (collection of the farm produce, transportation to warehouse, storage, processing
and packaging) and limited credit facility available to farmers are the major hurdles. In
addition, there is a lack of availability and accessibility to MAPs inputs and the knowledge /
information about suitable and remunerative crops.
Domestication and cultivation of some important medicinal plants used in traditional as
well as modern therapies is beset with the problems of poor seedling establishment while
the poor seed set in nature affects the yield in others. The range of active constituents and
essential oil components differ with altitudinal and geographical changes in most
medicinal and aromatic plants. Therefore, species-specific measures are needed ensuring
simultaneously both conservation as well as sustainability in raw material production.
To increase production and productivity it is important to spread the cluster approach and
facilitate low-cost processing. Forest Corperation has made 3-4 mandis where auctions of
MAPs take place. There is need to take appropriate measures for improving productivity
and production of herbal and medicinal plants and their trade in the state. Medicinal and
aromatic plants can be a strong option for diversification provided proper linkages with the
market can be developed.
Cultivation of medicinal plants in the State has failed to pick up due to non-availability of
quality planting material, information gaps on agro-techniques, exploitative market
mechanisms, etc. Some of the suggestions to improve the cultivation are Necessity of
minimum support price (MSP) for Cultivated MAPs, Selection, Breeding and
Standardization of Agro-techniques for Priority Species, market assurance to cultivators,
research & development for making high yielding varieties, etc.
Quality requirement of the raw material(s)

With the tremendous increase in the global use of medicinal plants, several concerns
regarding the efficacy and safety of the herbal medicines have also been raised. Hence it has
become necessary to standardize the efficacy and safety measures so as to ensure supply of
medicinal plant materials with good quality. To address this, the first Ayurvedic
Pharmacopoeia Committee was constituted in 1962 under the Chairmanship of Col. Sir Ram
Nath Chopra. The Committee was reconstituted in 1972 under the Chairmanship of Prof.
A.N.Namjoshi to continue the work of compilation of the Ayurvedic Formulary of India as a
pre-requisite for undertaking the work of Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. The Part I of
42
Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India consists of Vol-I, II, III, IV and V comprising respectively
80, 78, 100, 68 and 92 monographs prescribing standards for Ayurvedic single drugs of plant
origin. The monograph gives limits under assay, for any one constituent or group of
constituents like total alkaloids or total volatile oils. In the case of water soluble or alcohol
soluble extractives a minimum lower limit has been given. For impurities like Ash, Acid
insoluble Ash etc, a maximum upper limit has been given.
Following information has been collected from different volumes of API, published by
Government of India so far.

Policy for buy-back with the industry

Policy for buy-back facilitation or tie-up with the industry to mitigate the problem of the
farmers in marketing of their produce of MAPs
(a) SMPB should take proactive role in facilitating the marketing linkages for farmers of
state. Industry running in state should be encouraged to take the produce directly from
farmers on mutually agreed price and quality terms. There should be a tripartite agreement
between cultivator-buyer and SMPB. Regular Buyer-Seller meet should be organized by
SMPB to facilitate the agreements between farmers and companies. Efforts should also be
made to invite out of state industry to take cultivated material from farmers (group).
(b) CAP is buying aromatic oils from the registered farmers on fixed price and this
arrangement is going well since last many years. Medicinal plants should also be purchased
by designated departments / office (either HRDI or Bhesaj Sangh) on pre-fixed price after
assessing the quality of produce. For this SMPB should declare the minimum support price
(MSP) for cultivated medicinal plants. Revolving funds should be available with purchasing
organization and funds to be utilized for purchase of raw material from registered farmers
in State.
Hands on training
Extension work related to transfer of technology should be carried out by organizations
which have presence in State like HRDI, CAP, HAPPRC, CSIR-CIMAP, GBP Agriculture
University and some selected NGOs. Funding for this can be generated from NMPB
schemes. Each institutes/organization can take/choose some districts for providing hands
on training to farmers. Accordingly funds could be divided among these institutes. These
organizations may be asked to submit the proposal for same to SMPB/NMPB. Some selected
NGOs who are actively engaged in cultivation and extension activities should also be
included after proper scrutiny of their activities and past experience.
Overall Limitations of MAPs Sector

So far, there has been no organised management of medicinal plants in Uttarakhand.
Unscientific extraction, over exploitation, lack of replenishment efforts and virtually, nonexistent of marketing management are some of the factors threatening the survival of a large
number of medicinal plants in the State. The occurrence of medicinal plant species in
Uttarakhand is highly diverse in nature. There is lack of training on identification, collection,
storage, value addition, nursery and cultivation techniques. This has led to a significant
knowledge gap on medicinal plants.
A number of institutions and departments are working in this field separately and
independently without much interaction among them. This is responsible for duplicity in
research work and research without focused attention with a clear-cut agenda.
The system of commercial exploitation (through collection from natural habitat) of medicinal
plants and its marketing has been the responsibility of various organisations from time to
time, but still, not a single effective system has been developed over the years.
The principal constraint is financial. States need to allocate more funds to sector.
Infrastructure needs to be good enough.
44
Limitations of the Study

Traders surveyed in this report were sometimes reluctant to discuss and share trade
information with the surveyor who they thought were outsiders.
MAP trade still works under a partially unorganised environment where disclosure of
quantity of sales in precise figures is not always done. In this situation, precise estimation of
the economics of MAP trade becomes somewhat difficult.
Recommendations
1. The species that have been finally selected are based on fulfilment of all criteria
(Agro-techniques, QPM, Agro-climate, Economic return and future projection,
Utilization Range, Social acceptance, Processing and export potential etc).
2. It is recommended medicinal plant species like Kutki, Atees, Tagar and Sarpaganda,
Satawari be taken as mix crop along with other vegetables. Looking into the demand
and uses of these species is highly suggested for cultivation.
3. The scope for Kuth is high. The climatic conditions of Uttrakhand suit its cultivation.
4. In the form of value added products, the potential of Damask Rose is very high.
Development of extraction technology will help the item to be more viable in export
market.
5. The scope for Chamomile lies in value addition as oil. The climatic conditions of
Uttrakhand suit its cultivation. It is recommended with value addition. Export
market is available.
6. Lemon grass can fetch a better market with value addition in the form of oil and its
allied products.
7. Mint is a widely accepted crop and farmers are very familier with this crop. There is
a need to promote as it fetches good retun.
8. Checking of undocumented import is essential for the successful cultivation of MAP
for cultivation.
9. Some other species have also found to be potential namely; Jatamansi, Salam Panja,
Chiraita, Meetha Vish which require immediate attention for R&D.
Way Forward
The 10 selected MAP species for cultivation and 10 selected species for afforestation/agroforestry have been approved by Review Committee on 13th September, 2013 under the
Chairmanship of Dr. Rakesh Shah, Chairman, Uttarakhand Biodiversity Board. The manual
of selected 10 species will be prepared as enlisted below. Information will be collated from
published sources, and comprehensive documentation in the form of a manual will be
prepared

Identification of MAPs suitable for Cultivation and inclusion in

Afforestation and Income Generation Programmes for the State of
Urrrakhand
This study is the part of Mainstreaming Conservation and Sustainable
Use of Medicinal Plants in Three Indian States of the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Environment and
Forests (MoEF), Government of India supported by the Global
Environment Facility (GEF). The project is being implemented in
Arunachal Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Uttrakhand by the State Medicinal
Plants Boards (SMPB) along with the State Forest Departments and State
Biodiversity Boards. Foundation for Revitalization of local Heath
Tradition, (FRLHT), Bangalore, provides technical facilitation to the
project.
The project aims to mainstream long-term conservation, sustainable and
equitable use of Medicinal and Aromatic Plant (MAP) diversity into
forest management policy and practice at the national, state and local
level.
TERI has been awarded the component, Identification of MAPs suitable
for cultivation and inclusion in afforestation and income generating
programmes for the state of Uttarakhand.
Current policy goals in Indias natural resource sector focus on balancing
conservation with local livelihood needs. The Forestry and Biodiversity
Group at TERI attempts to support these goals through a mix of
research, training, and dissemination activities targated at policymakers, implementers, and local communities.
