The
State Forest Department’s Sukna Distillation Plant in Sukna produces
50,000 liters of Citronella oil per annum. While the West Bengal Photochemical
and Pharmaceutical Development Corporation’s unit in Tolapara, Jalpaiguri
is already running in profit. It is important that the state government
encourages small farmers and businessman to cultivate medicinal plants and
herbs as this do not require a large area of land, and they can be grown
in forests, tea gardens and untended fields. Other lucrative possibilities
in medicinal products include the extraction of pepsin from papaya and ginger
products manufacturing. While Darjeeling district produces 4,000 tonnes
of ginger per annum, it is sold to other districts and states without being
processed.| Home | About Us | Contact Us | Legal Issues | Site Map | Important sites |
