1. Background
Nepal with its peculiar convergence of topographic, climatic, and edaphic factors
has high floral diversity as well as unique ecosystem diversity. Variation in the
topography and land aspects harbors varieties of Herbs and Non-Timber Forest
Products (NTFPs). Herbs and NTFPs rendered from forest land comprises high-
value Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs), fiber yielding plants, wild edible
plants, rattans, resin yielding plants, dye yielding plants, ornamental plants,
tannin and gum yielding plants etc. Further, more than 1600 species of medicinal
plants are reported to be used in the traditional medicinal practices by the local
people.
MAPs much more than a source for traditional healthcare, contribute in
important ways to the livelihood and welfare of rural population by providing
an alternate source of income and employment. MAPs are commonly known as
“Jadibuti” in Nepal and have good reputation in the international market. Many
of them are exclusively found in the Himalayas and are by default organic. The
total volume of trade is estimated to be 10,000-15,000 tons per year, comprising
around 100 species.
Market linkage of these Herbs and NTFPs is one of the biggest challenges faced
by the individual entrepreneurs as well as by other enterprises. Without proper
market information and marketing strategy, there is a maximum possibility of
enterprise failure.
Therefore, the marketing linkage activities of Herbs and NTFPs products was
focused basically on the hand made paper products, natural fiber products,
essential oils, major crude herbs, ayurvedic medicine, cosmetic items, food
supplements, incense, bamboo products etc. in national and international
market. The market linkage activities attempted to identify the exchange/trading
channel of crude herbs and herbs based finished products in between Nepal,
India and other overseas countries to some extent.

2. Objectives
The overall objective of the present research is to promote Herbs and NTFPs in
the existing market and search for international market options.
The specific objectives are as follows:
™ To know the current situation of Herbs and NTFPs markets.
™ To study on trading channels of Herbs and NTFPs.
™ To disseminate market information of Herbs and NTFPs.
™ To recommend the concerned stakeholders for establishing market based
Herbs and NTFPs enterprise.

3. Program Implementation Process
The following activities were carried out for the market linkage of Herbs and
NTFPs:
ƒ Herbs and NTFPs harvesting, transportation, processing and export
procedures were studied.
ƒ An assessment of Herbs and NTFPs international markets were carried out.
ƒ Trading channel of Herbs and NTFPs were studied.
ƒ NGOs, INGOs and organizations involved in the promotion of Herbs and
NTFPs were enlisted.
ƒ Worksheet (a set of questionnaire) was developed for the marketing
information which were duly filled up after the interview with the concerned
authority of the company/industry/trading firms.
ƒ Majority of the forest based/Herbs and NTFPs based processing companies
and trading/exporting companies/industries/trading firms were identified
collected via self visit, communication (e-mail, phone), yellow pages,
directory of Nepal Herbs and Herbal Products Association (NEHHPA),
website search.
ƒ Marketing information on Herbs and NTFPs products
manufacturers/traders/exporters, allo and hemp fiber traders/exporters,
handmade paper products manufacturers/ traders/exporters, bamboo and
crafts traders/exporters were carried out.
ƒ The forest based/ Herbs and NTFPs based products manufactured by
majority of Kathmandu based companies/ industries/trading firms were
studied and documented.

4. Why Nepalese NTFPs are important?

Nepalese NTFPs are unique in the sense;
• Strictly available in Himalaya,
• Nurtured by the nature, organic and are beyond the human interventions,
• Herbs with highly potential principle constituents (chemicals) due to inherent
tendencies to grow in harsh environment of the Himalayas.

8. Top Prioritized Herbs and NTFPs of Nepal

The tenth plan of the Forestry Sector has emphasized on the production,
processing and marketing of medicinal plants and other NTFPs in a public-
private partnership basis. Accordingly, the government has established a
national level Herbs and NTFP Coordination Committee (HNCC) to help
formulating appropriate national policy, strategies, laws and other legal
mechanism to effectively launch the program on conservation and utilization of
Herbs and NTFPs.
HNCC has compiled a list of 30 species of medicinal plants and other NTFPs for
research and development. The species are prioritized based on 8 criteria as:
1. Highly demanded commercial species

16
2. Species having high market price
3. Having potential for domestic value addition
4. Species available over wide geographical range
5. Species harvestable in short rotation period
6. Land fertility requirement for species
7. Species importance for local ethno-botany and
8. Species conservation status

The following table shows the average annual export of top prioritized NTFPs

9. Procedures on Herbs and NTFPs Collection and Trade

Custom policies are related to harvesting/collection, processing and transport of
NTFPs.
9.1 Harvesting/Collection/Processing/Export
His Majesty’s Government of Nepal, Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation
has formulated Forest Act 1993 which regulate the Herbs and NTFP harvesting,
processing and its commercial trade. Before harvesting of each Herbs and NTFPs
for commercial purpose every concerned entity have to pay the respective
royalty and follow the rules and regulations mentioned in Forest Act 1993 and its
amendments.
Wild Herbs and NTFPs in Nepal are generally harvested from National forest
and Community Forest. Collection permits have to be obtained from the District
Forest Office (DFO) for the collection of Herbs and NTFPs from government
forest or in pasture land and from Community Forest User Groups (CFUGs) for

18
their collection from Community Forest. For this applicant has to submit an
application containing details on the types of herbs, origin, collection quantity
and purpose of the collection (domestic use or export). After getting permission
from DFO in the form of formal letter, collector/exporter can collect and store,
same NTFPs and quantity mentioned in the permission letter. After that
collectors/herbs supplier have to pay royalty of the collected quantity of Herbs
and NTFPs to the same DFO for release letter. This release letter is a proof of
royalty payment by the herb supplier for the Herbs and NTFPs local use and
domestic transportation. DFO only gives permits to those Herbs and NTFPs
which are not prohibited for export/local commercial trade in raw or
unprocessed form. If the Herbs and NTFPs are intended to export then exporter
has to apply for the recommendation from same DFO to the concerned customs
office at Nepal-India boarder.
To export processed NTFPs, its extracts or it's by products, exporter need to take
permission letter from Ministry of Forestry and Soil Conservation, Department
of Plant Resources (DPR). After submitting two copies of application form in
accordance to the DPRs’ format, DPR deputes its staff to inspect the NTFP
processing or storing unit to take samples from each container/box. Based on lab
study of the samples and applicants information, if the result is equivalent and
satisfactory then the containers are sealed and provide recommendation letter to
concerned custom office to allow export of consignment. Applicants are charged
a NRs. 350.00 per sample for lab test and recommendations are charged as
NRs.300.00.
Similarly for processed NTFPs, Convention on International Trade of
Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES) certificate have to be obtained
from His Majesty's Government, Ministries of Forest and Soil conservation,
Department of Plant Resources (DPR). DPR issues export permit for the
processed product.
For the NTFPs that are available in wild as well as in wide cultivation practice,
the transporter/exporter has to submit the documents to (check
post/DPR/DFO) which clearly mention its origin.
Phytosanitary Certificate (PC) is very important to export plants and plant
products from Nepal. HMG/Nepal Plant Protection Act 1972 and Plant
Protection Rules 1975 have made it mandatory for exporter to obtain PC before
exporting NTFPs and its products. On the basis of PC, most countries permit
imports of plants and plant products inside their country. To get Phytosanitary
Certificate exporter has to submit an application to Plant Quarantine Section
(PQS) of Department of Agriculture along with supporting documents like
enterprise registration certificate, a release letter of DFO etc. If necessary PQS
makes arrangements to send its staff to the production site to do necessary
examination of NTFPs and its products.
If plants and plant products are found in healthy conditions, PC is issued by
PQS. PC can be taken from different Plant Quarantine Offices located at the

19
Customs Posts of Kakarvita, Biratnagar, Jaleshwor, Birgunj, Bhairahwa,
Nepalgunj and Tribhuvan International Airport. This service is free of cost.

10. Transportation of NTFPs

10.1 Domestic: From collection/harvesting/farming center to Road head/Terai
trade center or processing units.
Transportation inside the country from the collection centre to Road head or
Terai trade centers have to pass through several NTFPs checking posts. These
check posts examine the collected/harvested NTFPs and the respective
documents (DFO permission, release letter/CFUG’s letter). If the transporter has
necessary documents which match with transported NTFPs only then Herbs and
NTFPs are allowed to move further. If not both the transporter and goods are
detained for further investigations. Multiple check points have been established
just to verify the transporting of Herbs and NTFPs. Transit/Export permits of
unprocessed Herbs and NTFPs have to be obtained from DFO.

11. Necessary Procedures/Documents for the Export of Herbs and NTFPs

Export of NTFPs on land is done in Nepal through Indian boarder via Kolkota
seaport and Bangladesh seaport.
11.1 Procedures in Nepal India boarder
Herbs and NTFPs exporting to India is not much complex. Clearance at the
customs offices and checking posts at the boarder are sufficient.
Goods exported to India by surface transport are to exit from one of these points.

12. An Overview of International Market of Herbs and NTFPs

12.1 The Indian Market
Nepal share enormous volume of high valued Herbs and NTFPs in trade. The
importance of Herbs and NTFPs has increased progressively over the last two
decades. Herbal commodities are increasingly becoming mainstream consumer
products manufactured by multinational corporations amongst other, and sold
in super market chains and in a variety of other outlets globally. Food
supplements, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fragrances, traditional cuisine, dyeing

23
and coloring agents are just a few of the application where Herbs and NTFPs are
finding increasing use day by day.
In Nepal, it is estimated that every year about 20,000 Metric Tons (MT) of NTFPs
worth US $ 18-20 million are traded. About 90% of the collection is exported to
India in the crude or semi processed or processed form, which then supplied
throughout the subcontinent by the wholesalers. In 1997/98 almost 93% of all
volume of Herbs and NTFPs traded from Nepal went to India with a total value
ranging between US $ 12.8-18 million.
A study conducted by CERPA (2004) indicates that there is continuous demand
of high value Nepalese Herbs and NTFPs in the Indian sub-continent.
The table below shows the demand projection of key Herbs and NTFPs from the
Himalayas
SN Botanical Name Local Name Expected demand for 2004/05 -

7 Valeriana jatamansii Sugandhawal 216
8 Zanthoxylum armatum Timur 23
Source: Demand and Supply Assessment by Centre for Research Planning and
Action (CERPA), New Delhi, 2004.

The above table indicates that almost 5,800 MT of Herbs andNTFPs have
projected demand in India from only 8 species out of the total about 20,000 MT
from species under trade.
From different Indian based wholesalers the next collection points of these
valued herbs are Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Hamburg or London.
This trade is now gradually taking awareness within the Nepalese rural
communities and traders inside Nepal leading to do sustainable harvesting for
improved rural livelihoods and establishment of enterprises/industries to
provide value added quality products directly from Nepal. This indirectly
captures the interest of international enterprises/institutions getting superior
product through fair trade.

12.2 Product Characteristics of EU Market

12.2. 1 Product Groups
The main international trade takes place in spice and herbs, dried and in crude
form, which are cleaned only and not further processed. It is estimated that about

24
85% of the trade is in this form. The remainder is in crushed or grounded spices,
essential oils or oleoresins.
The main spices and herbs covered by the EU market are:
SN Spices Herbs
1 Pepper (Piper nigrum) Parsely
2 Paprika Marjoram (Majorana hortensis)
3 Capsicum (Capsicum annum) Orenago (Origanum vulgare)
4 Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
5 Anise (Pimpinella anisum) Rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis)
6 Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
7 Nutmeg (Myristica fragrance) Bay (Laurus nobilis)
8 Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Mint (Mentha piperita/M. arvensis)

13 Turmeric (Curcuma domestica)
14 Saffron (Crocus sativus)
15 Vanilla (Vanilla fragrans)
16 Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)

12.2.2 Quality and Grading Standards

As spices and herbs are used in the food chain, the requirement for a clean,
bacteria free product is of paramount importance. The Phytosanitary regulations
for products imported by all major consuming EU countries are becoming more
and more stringent and are enforced by law. The actual quality standards
required are set primarily by the importers and major end users against the
background of health and safety requirements demanded by EU Food and Drugs
Act. The main quality factors considered by traders in selecting spices and herbs
are:
• appearance,
• flavour,
• aroma,
• colour,
• volatile oil content and
• cleanliness

12.2.3 EU Standards
The European Spice Association (ESA), which represents, 12 major national spice
associations in Europe, has now developed an "ESA Contract" which indicates
minimum quality standards for imported spices and methods of arbitration and
enforcement procedures.

25
The ESA specifications of quality minima for spices and herbs are as follows:
1. The maximum permissible levels of extraneous matter (herbs-2%, spices-1%).
2. Sampling procedures for routine sampling and for arbitration purpose.
3. The maximum content of ash (between 7 and 10% depending on product),
humidity (between 8 and 13%), and the minimum volatile content for each spices
and herbs.
4. Maximum heavy metal content (lead, arsenic, copper, zinc).
5. Approved pesticides and treatments.
6. Microbial requirements (Salmonella, Yeast and Moulds, E.coli).
7. Freedom from unsuitable odour and taste.
8. Freedom from infestation (live and/or dead insects, insect fragments, rod
contamination).
9. Maximum limit for total aflatoxin.
10. Adulteration.
11. Packaging and documentation.

12.2.4 Packaging and Labeling

For EU market, conventional packaging for most spices and herbs is jute or
woven polythene bags of variable capacity (25-60 kg), with appropriate plastic to
prevent water getting in. The bags must be cleaned and disinfected before being
re-used. For some spices steel drums or wooden cases are used.
Spices and herbs must be thoroughly dried before shipment without destroying
their flavour and colour.
Labeling must clearly indicate the name of spice, its state (i.e. whole, broken,
ground.....), date, net weight, indication of country of origin and lot
identification.
The accompanying documentation must provide details of any treatments the
product has undergone, the name of the product, weight, country of origin, lot
identification/ batch number and year of harvest. Additional labeling
requirements are specified by the importer.

12.3 Export Status of Herbs and NTFPs and Spices

According to the annual report published by Nepal Overseas Trade Statistics,
2006, during the fiscal year 2002/2003, 2003/2004 and 2004/2005, the export
value of Herbs and NTFPs and spices to India and overseas market worth Rs.
1,07,42,74,000/-, Rs. 97,36,68,000/- and Rs. 1,39,30,39,000/- respectively.
The crude NTFPs that are being exported to India and overseas markets from
Nepal includes: Chiraito (Swertia chirayita), Nagbeli powder (Lycopodium
clavatum), Padamchal (Rheum australe), Jatamansi (Nardostachys grandiflora),
Timur (Zanthoxylum armatum), Amala (Phyllanthus emblica), Rithha (Sapindus
mukorossi), Laghupatra (Podophylum hexandrum), Satavari (Asparagus racemosus),
Bojho (Acorus calamus), Pipla (Piper longum), Pakhanved (Berginia ciliata) etc.

26
Similarly, the essential oils items that are exported to overseas market including
India include: Spikenard oil, Lemongrass oil, Wintergreen oil, Mentha arvensis
oil, Citronella oil, Palmarosa oil, Chamomile oil, French basil oil, Juniper berry
oil,Ginger oil, Zanthoxylum oil etc.
The major importing countries of the Herbs and NTFPs and spices of Nepal
include: Netherlands, Pakistan, Singapore, UAE, Japan, USA, Germany, China
(including Hong Kong), Switzerland, France, Sweden, UK, Spain, Australia,
Italy, Taiwan etc.

13. Trading Channels of Herbs and NTFPs

In general, trade channel of herbs begins from the harvesters/collectors (CFUGs,
herders, farmers), who function as the primary suppliers of the herbs. Herbs
from the collectors then decentralize to the different tiers of stakeholders.
Collectors have good knowledge on the available local resource, whose
assistance in the marketing chain improves the economics of collection and
increases the volume of the trade. After harvesting, Herbs and NTFPs are then
transported to collection points on mans back up to the road and air accessible
areas located nearby the forest or at least 4-5 days walk from collection site.
In remote north-western mountains parts of Nepal Herbs and NTFPs from
difficult steep dry slopes come to the collection point, the domestic airstrips
which fly to south plain of the country. The major airstrips of Herbs and NTFPs
trade are Gamgadi, Simikot, Jumla-Khalanga, Jufal and Jomsom in western
Nepal. Except some exceptions from Jomsom almost all Herbs and NTFPs from
these regions come to Nepalgunj and Surkhet airport. Whereas, the collected
Herbs and NTFPs from north-eastern parts are transported to Kakarvitta and
Biratnagar via the trade points Ilam, Basantapur, and Lahan.
From east to west Nepal, Herbs and NTFPs wholesalers are based in Kathmandu
and the Terai plain cities at the Nepal-India boarder where road and air
transportation facility is common. From Nepalgunj Herbs and NTFPs move to
central wholesalers based in large cities in Nepal Terai and some middle hills
cities including Kathmandu.
Supply chain of Herbs and NTFPs between Nepal and China also takes place via
the transit boarder of (Taplejung, Sankhuwasabha, Dolakha, Sindhupalchok,
Rasuwa, Gorkha, Manang, Mustang, Dolpa, Humla and Darchula districts).
Taken from different intermediaries, Kathmandu based traders also supply
many Herbs and NTFPs in national and international markets in different forms.
Between the source and the International markets, Herbs and NTFPs are handled
by intermediaries at four levels. Village traders, road-head traders and Terai
traders all three located in Nepal while fourth intermediaries are in India or
overseas.
In general there are three economic agents in Herbs and NTFPs trade, harvesters,
traders and wholesalers. Olsen and Bhattarai (2005) described following

27
generalized model (fig 1) of the flow of Herbs and NTFPs harvested in Nepal
and exported to India.

Figure 1: Generalized model of flow of Herbs and NTFPs harvested in Nepal and
exported to India

14. Marketing of Herbs and NTFP at Local level

Herbs and NTFPs marketing in village level are done by village traders, who
have good contact with the local people who normally engage in harvesting
herbs during seasons. Village traders are scattered throughout the villages of
middle hills and high Himalayas. Harvesters are the local people who gather
Herbs and NTFPs for the purpose of selling to traders. These harvesters collect
Herbs and NTFPs usually from forest and alpine meadows. Normally harvesters
are herders and farmers majority of which are female. Since few years, some
essential oil bearing plants like Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), Citronella
(Cymbopogon winterianus), Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii), Mentha (Mentha
arvensis), French Basil (Ocimum basilicum) and Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) are
cultivated in Terai plains at the south. Similarly many CFUGs and private
farmers are also engaged in the cultivation of indigenous Herbs and NTFPs.
Some of noteworthy Herbs and NTFPs in cultivation are Bojho (Acorus calamus),
Kurilo (Asparagus racemosus), Kutki (Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora), Pipla (Piper
longum), Sarpagandha (Rauvolfia serpentine), Chirayito (Swertia chirayita), Timur
(Zanthoxylum armatum), Rithha (Sapindus mukorossi), Lauth salla (Taxus
wallichiana) etc.
Traders are the agents who purchase Herbs and NTFPs from harvesters. Village
traders gather huge quantity of Herbs and NTFPs from different harvester for
selling to road-head traders or wholesalers. Village traders are based in village
beyond the road network. These traders in turn have good relationship with
their nearby road-head traders, living at the interface between porter age and
road transport or at the end of north Highways. The catchments areas of road-
head traders would be one or more neighboring districts. Road-head traders are
the main centers of activity in Herbs and NTFPs trade. Road-head traders sell
their products to Terai traders or traders at the major cities of Nepal.
The Terai traders living near India-Nepal boarder cities are the most powerful
group of intermediaries in the trade. They have broad catchments areas
incorporating northern airstrips and road-head traders. These Terai traders have

28
got good relation with Indian and overseas buyers and always updated with
latest business fluctuations related with Herbs and NTFPs.
Figure 2, shows clear picture of conventional marketing chain of Herbs and
NTFPs in Nepal.

15. Royalty Collection from Herbs and NTFPs
His Majesty’s Government of Nepal, Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation,
has fixed royalty rate of different herbs and NTFPs in trade. Everybody
involving in trade of the herbs has to pay the amount once to the concerned
Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation, District Administrative Department,
the District Forest Office. Normally road head traders pay the royalty to the
concerned District Forest Office. After paying royalty of the harvested quantity
of the herbs and NTFPs, permission is granted to the traders for further national
supply/export procedures.
Revenue collected from royalty paid by traders is used to do research,
coordination in policies, law enforcements and community empowerment for the
conservation and management of same natural resources.
