Medicinal Plants, Cultivation and Processing- Business

Opportunities and Challenges
The Global Herbal demand has increased tremendously and today there is a great
demand for genuine quality material both in the country as well as in the other countries.
Cultivation of medicinal plants and harvesting them at the appropriate time is very
essential for harvesting quality material in terms of active ingredients. Each species has
its own demand for nutrients, water and other parameters before it can be harvested for
optimal active principles. The cultivation practices as well as post harvest technology
plays a very important role for successful plantations, storage and selling of these plants
in a business model. The present workshop focuses on these aspects and speakers from
both the Academic as well the industry will be addressing and sharing their knowledge in
the work shop.
The work shop will benefit the progressive farmers, Pharmaceutical companies, traders,
and Government agencies involved in promotion of medicinal plant cultivation.
