Trade of Minor Forest Produce

We supply and export both raw herbs and processed forest products.The Raw herbs including medicinal plants from the natural forests are collected with utmost care through local self-help groups/ joint Forest Management committees/ primary forest produce co-operative societies through non-destructive harvesting techniques. After collection the raw material is graded and packed as per the quality standards.

The federation established NWFP based micro enterprises to promote processing and value addition of the raw products through local SHG's. These micro enterprises obtained technical, financial and marketing support from the federation. Accordingly 6 NWFP marts have been established in the various parts of the state to purchase and sale the above produce at a fixed price. This step provides remunerative price to local SHG's and competitive price to traders and industries.

The federation has chain of retail outlets named Sanjeevani throughout the state to promote retail marketing. Accordingly our collection can be broadly classified as follows:

Raw Herbs
Lac
Mahul Leaf and Cups
Honey
