In 2012, existing practices in collecting and trading
high value minor crops (such as medicinal and aromatic plants) from District
Swat, Pakistan, were analyzed. The focus of the study was on the collection
pattern of medicinal plants as an economic activity within District Swat and
the likely destinations of these products in national or international markets.
Local collectors/farmers and dealers were surveyed about their collection
efforts, quantities collected, prices received, and resulting incomes. Herbal
markets in major cities of Pakistan were surveyed for current market trends,
domestic sources of supply, imports and exports of herbal material, price
patterns, and market product-quality requirements.
