| סיכום: | The study aimed to explore the possibility of medicinal plant cultivation as a sustainable
livelihood option. The study was conducted among the medicinal plant cultivators of five
villages of Laxmipur union of Natore sadar upazila in Natore district. Both qualitative
and quantitative approaches were used. Data were collected during February-April 2004
from both primary and secondary sources. The findings show that the farmers were
motivated to cultivate medicinal plants because of its profitability. The cost-benefit
analysis of some of the medicinal plants also supported this. But the market of the
medicinal plants is still in a pre-mature stage. A linkage between the cultivators and the
herbal medicine or cosmetic producers could definitely help develop the medicinal plant
cultivation prospect. |
