As
a manufacturer of herbal products, we consume
more than 500 tones of crude drug / annum.
This requirement of crude drugs is almost
wholly fulfilled by collections from the wild
/ forests. But it is not possible to derive
all this material from the wild, because the
population of wild medicinal plants is growing
thinner day by day due to over exploitation
and indiscriminate deforestation. Moreover,
because of insufficient raw material ( poor
availability ), the price of material shoots
up. These are thus valid reasons for cultivating
medicinal plants.
We undertake
Contract Farming of selected Indian medicinal
plants through interested farmers and offer
cent percent buy back. Our agriculture farming
is stipulated under strictly defined conditions
as are specific for each plant. We provide
the planting material and complete cultivation
plan to farmers and to supervise the proper
implementation of plan we have groomed a team
of Agriculture Graduates. Our agronomy team
has covered approximately 1500 acres of land
under contract farming in South India through
buy back agreements.
Through
contract farming we have done good R&D
work to formulate Good Agricultural Practices,
which includes proper selection and identification,
propagation methods, cultivation techniques,
harvesting, step-wise quality control of raw
material up to processing stage, post-harvest
treatment, storage and safety. |
