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: Herbs and NTFPs harvesting, transportation, processing and export

procedures were studied. An assessment of Herbs and NTFPs international markets were carried out. Trading channel of Herbs and NTFPs were studied. NGOs, INGOs and organizations involved in the promotion of Herbs and

NTFPs were enlisted. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

17

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.

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

19

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

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.

For third countries export via India, requires further clearance procedures at Nepal/India boarder, Kolkata port and Bangladesh port.

From Nepal/India boarder export of the materials to the destination normally undertaken by authorized agents or courier.

Exports are permitted only against Advance Payment or Letter of Credit (L/C) to ensure that the payment for the NTFPs and its product is received in Nepal. L/C copy or Advance Payment Certificate (APC) should be authenticated by the concerned Nepalese commercial bank.

Nepalese customs releases export shipments only after verifying the bank Certificate of Advance Payment or L/C copy certified by a commercial bank. The exporter has to declare in form BBN I at the time of export that the export earnings will be repatriated in case of transactions under L/C. If payment is not received within 6 months or such extended time as authorized by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the commercial bank has to inform NRB for inquiry into the matter.

On all exports Certificate of Origin (CoO) should be submitted to Nepalese customs at boarder. CoO is issued by private sector associations; Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) for industry to export in India and Nepal Chambers of Commerce (NCC) for company to export in third countries.

11.2 Documents for the Nepalese Boarder Customs An exporter has to submit following documents for the Nepalese boarder customs: • Custom Transit Declaration (CTD) in quadruplicate duly endorsed by

Nepalese customs office (yellow copy). • Nepal Customs Export Declaration • Commercial Invoice • Packing list • L/C or Certificate of Advance Payment • Certificate of Origin • Enterprise Registration Certificate • Income Tax Registration Certificate/Permanent Account Number (PAN) • Clearance Certificate of Department of Plant Resources for forest and plant

based products • Phytosanitary Certificate, Department of Agriculture for plants • Authorization letter in the name of forwarding agent.

22

After checking all the necessary documents with the consignment, the Nepalese customs office endorses the CTD. Exporter has to pay the custom charges to get clearance. Only then cargo moves to Indian boarder customs office. 11.3 Documentation for Indian Custom Office Exporter or clearing agent has to submit following documents in the Indian custom office at the Indian boarder: • The declaration included in CTD duly endorsed by the Nepal Customs • Invoice-Original • Packing List-Original • Invoice • Authority letter of clearing agent in the name of forwarding agency • Packing List • Certified copy of L/C or Certificate of Advance Payment • The declaration on the CTD and other documents are examined The One-Time-Lock (OTL) of containerized cargo towards third country is checked and if found intact is allowed further transportation. • As to the non containerized goods, such goods is verified and examined on

the basis of CTD. If found correct the consignment is cleared for further transportation.

• All the four copies of CTD are endorsed by the Indian boarder customs. Out of the four, two copies (second and third) are sent to the Kolkata customs. The first copy is returned to the exporter/clearing agent and the fourth copy is retained with the customs office for the record.

• After full examination container move to Kolkata port, the main exit for overseas.

• At Kolkata all the related files endorsed by Nepal-India boarder custom office are filed and compared to the original CTD with the duplicate and triplicate copies received in a sealed envelop taken by clearing agent.

• Normally within 24 hours, documents are cleared and export permit is provided.

After documents are cleared by the Kolkata Customs, Custom Point Transit (CPT) approval is obtained for taking the cargo inside the port. • The cargo is then taken inside the port where the customs checks seals and

locks on the wagons or containers and packages, and compares with the declaration made on CTD.

• Then the cargo is handed over to the ship's agent inside the port. After necessary endorsements, custom gives back the original, duplicate and

23

triplicate copies of CTD to clearing agent who takes them again to the Kolkata customs.

• After Kolkata customs makes necessary entries on all copies, the original is handed back to clearing agent for submission to the Border customs, the triplicate copy is sent to the Border customs and the duplicate copy retained for records.

11.4 Exports through Air Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), Kathmandu, is the only international gateway for exporting goods by air in Nepal. Following documents has to be submitted by exporter or clearing agent for customs examinations at TIA: • Nepalese Customs Export Declaration • Authority Letter of clearing agent • Invoice • Packing List • Certified copy of L/C or Certificate of Advance Payment • Certificate of Origin • Enterprise Registration Certificate • Income Tax Registration Certificate/Permanent Account Number (PAN) • Clearance Certificate of Department of Plant Resources for forest and plant

based products • Phytosanitary Certificate of Plant Quarantine Section, Department of

Agriculture for plants Based on the examination of necessary documents provided by exporter or clearing agent, the cargo has been sealed and cleared for storage by customs. TIA Go down No. 3 is used storage of export cargo. For loading of the cargo into a container, exporter has to reserve space with the concerned airline. Only after that loading of the cargo into a container truck is allowed. After checking and sealing of the container truck by the customs, the cargo is transported to the apron area and unloaded there. Handling fee based on the weight of the cargo is charged. 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

24

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 -

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

25

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) 9 Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp) Savory (Satureia montana) 10 Caraway (Carum carvi) Dill (Anethum graveolens) 11 Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) Tarragon (Artemisia dracurculus) 12 Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) Sage (Salvia officinalis) 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.

26

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.

27

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

28

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

29

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.

Requirements/Standards for International Market Preliminary marketing assessment of Herbs and NTFPs product revealed that the products manufactured by the community enterprise should meet the following requirements/standards: 17.1 Product Standardization (Quality Control and Standards) and International Market Requirement

Quality products Quantity of products Packaging and labeling Sustainable sourcing/Sustainability of the product Timely communication and delivery of items Traceability documentation Business planning/Production projection Proper documentation Laboratory analysis {Material Safety Data Sheet (MS-DS), Gas

Chromatography (GC) Analysis, Phyto-sanitary etc.} Certifications (Organic, FSC, ISO etc.) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for dietary supplements (food items

and ayurvedic medicine) 17.2 Niche Market A trading company and/or wholesale market is essential to established in the sppecific location of Kathmandu for marketing of the products that are produced by pro-poor model enterprises of the rural areas of Nepal. The community products should be branded as:

Story based For example the handmade paper products that are manufactured by Everest Gateway Herbs Pvt. Ltd. Jiri should be marketed as:

33

Sustainability story of our paper products The hand made paper in this product is crafted from Lokta bark (Daphne bholua), sustainably harvested from FSC Certified forests of Dolakha, Nepal. Rural communities who manage the forests have established an innovative Pro-poor Model Enterprises that uses traditional paper making methods combined with modern quality control practices. Sheets of natural paper are transported from the paper enterprises to Himalayan Bio Trade's Kathmandu-based facility where a wide range of paper products are printed and assembled. Our company is uniquely positioned to provide traceability or Chain of Custody information on all our paper products. Himalayan Bio Trade’s vertical integration means more benefits stay with the rural communities, forest sustainability issues are closely monitored and product quality is controlled from harvest to finished products.

The community products should create the sentimental feelings to the consumers.

Home delivery system/ door to door service system for the consumer's items as juice, jam, tea, incense, candle, health care products and other commodities.

Contact with offices and organizations and office delivery of the hand made paper products as printing papers, A4 papers, office files, folders, visiting cards, greeting cards, note books, diary and so on.

17.3 Market Network Marketing study of Herbs and NTFPs products revealed that marketing chain among producing/ processing and trading companies is essential for the following reasons:

Bargaining power with buyers Product diversifications Cost effectiveness (management, certification costs) Long term partnership/agreement with buyers

18. Outcomes The following are the outputs of the market linkage study of Herbs and NTFPs: 1. Herbs and NTFPs processing/trading companies, including exporters based in Kathmandu and their location were identified. 2. Information on Herbs and NTFPs products produced and/or traded by them was enlisted. 3. Herbs and NTFPs and/or products demanded by international market were also identified.

34

19. Lessons Learned The following are the lessons learned after conducting the market linkage study of Herbs and NTFPs: 1. Buy back guarantee is the most essential component before establishing enterprises in community level and processing of the products. 2. The enterprises should have provided the production projection of their products for the fiscal year to the buyers. 3. The entrepreneurs/marketing agency should have timely communication with the buyers and timely delivery of the products to the buyers. 4. Herbs and NTFPs business should be practiced in fair and organized way in terms of price and quality. 5. The entrepreneurs/marketing agency should fulfill the quality requirements of the products according to the buyers need. 6. A well equipped laboratory for the quality testing of Herbs and NTFPs should be established and legal hurdles prevailing for the export of herbal products should be identified and addressed. 7. The end use or end products manufactured from Herbs and NTFPs should be identified. 8. Standards and certifications (organic, FSC, fair trade) for the Herbs and NTFPs products should be initiated and maintained. 9. Branded and story based products could catch up the market sooner.
