FAIR TRADE MEDICINAL PLANTS AND EXTRACTS INTRODUCTION TO MNS 33

DECEMBER 2009 This edition of MNS features information on the fast-growing supply chain of medicinal and aromatic plants and extracts that are coming into the global marketplace with value-adding certifications or verifications that demonstrate evidence of sustainable resource management and production (ecological, economical and social sustainability practices throughout the supply chain). These botanical ingredients are being offered at premium prices mainly because the costs associated with establishing and maintaining rigorous sustainable resource management plans, as well as the costs associated with routine independent inspections, certification and social investment fund contributions to the producer communities are not inconsequential, and above and beyond normal or prevailing average market prices. Nonetheless the market demand for natural ingredients with multiple sustainability certifications is increasing (e.g. organic cultivated + fair trade or organic wild + fair wild certified), as conscious customers around the world are demanding more and more information about the herbal supply chain, nature conservation and sustainability, in consideration of the increasing awareness that most medicinal plant species in global commerce are wild harvested and are not grown on farms. In fact, most species in commerce will not likely ever be farmed which necessitates paying close attention to sustainable resource management and biodiversity conservation in the natural habitats of wild plants. Each of the six region-specific sections of this edition of MNS provides the reader with current information about the commercial availability of medicinal and aromatic plants or extracts with sustainability certifications or verifications of compliance with certain sustainability standards. Additionally, contact details on the producers and/or distributors of the listed certified botanicals are provided in corresponding tables. Also in this introductory section of the MNS 33 bulletin, you will find links to further information on the: various sustainability standards being implemented at medicinal plant harvest sites; standards setting organizations; and certification or verification organizations.

It is also possible that we are not yet aware of all of the existing sustainability certification or verification systems presently undergoing implementation at medicinal and aromatic plant production sites around the world. If we have missed any group or programme please inform us so that we can provide an update in a future edition of MNS.
