Medicinal herb in PakistanIn Pakistan almost 2000 medicinal plants exists.However few are exploited and 90 % of the country medicinal herb requirement is imported .About 50% populate in Pakistan cure using traditional medicinesThere are more than 40000 traditional herb practitioners.Agriculture Research and development have been focused mainly on major crops and to some extent on minor crops .The medicinal herbs and spices have been ignored altogether as a result this sector is facing problems such as

Issues Faced by Communities in Production of Medicinal Plants in In Pakistan Depletion of existing stock and presently most of the MA plants are found scattered in the distant areas.Threat to genetic erosion due to indiscriminate exploitation by the collectors .Quality deterioration by stake holders Few species are reported endanger to the extinct.Development of the technology of propagation and regeneration of MA plants in their natural habitat.Conservation of MA Plants
Opportunities for Cultivation of of medicinal plants
Low cost:herbals are relatively inexpensive and the cost of pharmaceuticals is risingDrug resistance:the need for alternative treatments for drug-resistant pathogensLimitations of medicine:the existence of ailments without an effective pharmaceutical treatmentMedicinal value:laboratory and clinical corroboration of safety and efficacy for a growing number of medicinal plantsCultural exchange:expanding contact and growing respect for foreign cultures, including alternative systems of medicineCommercial value:growing appreciation of trade and other commercial economic opportunities represented by medicinal plants
Economics of cultivation of MAPMost of the world's supply of medicinal herbs is obtained by wild collection (often called"wildcrafting"), not by cultivation. There are still many minor medicinal plant species in Country that are abundant in nature and can be collected in a sustainable fashion. However, because of shrinking wild resources and a strengthening sentiment that biodiversity should be preserved, cultivation is becoming increasingly important.
Economic opportunities and cultivation of MAP
4. Cultivation offers the possibility of not only preserving economically important wild plants in their natural habitats, but also of providing farmers with new crops.5. Domestic and foreign markets for medicinal plants are growing rapidly.

Cultivation of Medicinal Plants A Technique
MEDICINAL PLANTS CULTIVATION A variety of medicinal plants grow in the temperate hilly region of Pakistan. These plants gained importance in the allopathic system of medicine . Plants such asDigitalis purpurea,Atropa belladonna,Colchicum sp. (Suranjan talkh), and many others were used in British and American pharmacopoeiasThis has resulted in the depletion of the existing stock and presently most of the plants are found scattered in the distant areas.

CULTIVATION OF MEDICINAL PLANTS contd
d. Some other species are also endangered through indiscriminate exploitation by the collectors. For quite a few of these valuable plants, either the quality has deteriorated or they have become extinct.e. Development of the technology of propagation and regeneration of medicinal plants in their natural habitat is essential for the conservation of this natural resource. f. Studies carried out by the Medicinal Plants Branch have revealed that temperate medicinal plants acquire perennial habits and therefore take more time to reach the stage of commercial exploitation.
31
Advantages of cultivation of medicinal crops has many advantages. These include:As compared to the traditional crops, Medicinal crops provide better returns than traditional crops. Have very high domestic and export demand. Fetch better prices in the market.Could be stored for a long time, and sold at a time when better prices prevail in the market; Some Plants are largely drought tolerant, and not easily grazed by animals.Have low incidence of pest attacks and diseases. Require minimum resources, therefore the cost of cultivation is lower compared to the traditional crops. Could be raised as inter-crops, along with traditional crops, and also on degraded lands.

WORLD IN 21st CENTURY100% increase in Worlds population (12 billion by the year 2035).50% reduction in forests cover.Life expectancy close to 100 years in most parts of the world.World resources of fossil fuel will be totally consumed. Medicinal Plant products are used through out world as FoodstuffsFlavoring agents and spicesPerfumes and cosmeticsPharmaceutical and biological agentsRecreational substances

CULTIVATION OF MEDICINAL PLANTS contd
In country cultivation of medicinal plants is very intermittent.Definately the medicinal plants are not alternative in major crops. These must be included as minor crops.
Cultivation in Rainfed area Plants as xerophyte are growing there potential must be exploited through awareness and training.
Cultivation as intercropping in various cropping systemVarious medicinal plants , keeping in view their growth habit can be inter cropped in orchids, forest and with major crops . Cultivation of treesThe deciduous natural medicinal plants require more than 10 to 15 years for harvesting and economic return. These plants may be planted on separate lands, on slope hill sides ,Banks of canal and water resources.Weeds as Medicinal PlantsThere is a need develop agro technologies to keep theses weeds as a secondary crop. The farmers can earn an additional income for collecting and selling different parts of weeds.
