Opportunities

Future prospects and constraints

    1. India with its vast biodiversity and potential for commercial exploitation, could become a world leader in the supply of raw material for the phytopharmaceutical industry.
    2. By drawing up a comprehensive strategy for the cultivation and conservation of medicinal plants in league with the forest departments, many threats outlined earlier could be turned into opportunities for successful commercial exploitation without tampering with the interest of the communities involved in the collection of medicinal plants.
    3. The introduction of medicinal plants into the crop rotation especially in dry land and watershed areas could provide a strong thrust to the cultivation of medicinal plants.
