The Centre on Monday released a training tool kit for creating awareness among farmers on cultivating herbal plants. This is to help them tap the booming global herbal market, estimated to be $120 billion,
The training tool kit is based on GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices) guidelines for medicinal plants developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2003 to ensure the quality, safety and efficiency of raw materials used in herbal medicines.
“This is a good initiative and it will help in income generation in the rural areas,” the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Director General, Dr S. Ayyappan, said releasing the kit.
