Many times farmers get low yields and at times high yields but low demand. Both the situations do not suit the economy of farming and many farmers ended up in losses and a few of them virtually left their fields barren. So, it became necessary to educate the farmers regarding the crops which can fetch them better prices at any point of time. Here comes the advantage of farming medicinal plants.
Farmers were trained regarding the advantages of cultivating medicinal plants suitable to the climatic conditions. They were further introduced to marketing strategies, points of sale, preservation and extraction methods and the advantages over the conventional farming of crops. Many farmers started cultivating medicinal plants in parcels of land in addition to other high yielding crops which resulted in higher realization for their products compared to the conventional way of farming.
