Commercialising Medicinal Plants: A Southern African Guide

The use and trade of plants for medicinal and cultural purposes has, over the last ten to fifteen years, come under the spotlight of economists, environmentalists, social scientists, policy-makers and trade organisations throughout the world. Medicinal plants are now universally recognised as the basis for a number of critical human health, social and economic support systems and benefits. These include provision of primary heath care products in underdeveloped economies, a basis for cultural identity and heritage, income generation for disadvantaged groups through trade, inputs to high demand western drugs and remedies, genetic stock for future cures of dread diseases, and significant formal economic trade opportunities for producing countries.
