Himachal Pradesh is a rich repository of medicinal & aromatic plants grown in wild habitat in different climatic zones. Out of around 3500 plant species found in HP, about 800 species are attributed with medicinal value& about 165 species are collected for commercial purposes.
Himachal is the largest supplier of Chilgoza, Chicory, Kuth dioscorea, Dhoop, Picrorrhiza, valerian and ephedra in the country. About 2500 tons of medicinal plants and parts thereof, valued at about Rs. 10 crores are exported outside the state every year. More than 90% of the species traded in the State are harvested from the wild.
Using the threat criteria developed by the IUCN, about 60 medicinal plant species from the state have categorized as Red Listed(12 species being ‘critically endangered’, 21 species being ‘endangered’ and 27 species being ‘vulnerable’.
In HP right-holders collect medicinal herbs and plants in small quantities free of charge for their bonafide use and for sale. Villager people collect these herbs and sell these to local shopkeepers in return for items of domestic need. In HP, the collection and trade of crude drug is not properly organized as the State has no market of its own.
In Himachal, majority of population lives in villages and still depends on forests for most of their daily needs. According to the study conducted by Dr. Madhu Verma , the direct consumptive benefits accrued from the forests of HP in the shape of Salvage, TD, Fuels, fodder, minor forest produce etc. worth about Rs. 1083 cores per annum.
TD policy has been rationalized and any right holder can get TD (Timber distribution). For this, Right holder can apply to concerned DFO. The right holder will now get converted timber after paying subsidized charges from nearby forest depot.
