A large number of tribal people and other forest dwellers derive their source of livelihood from the collection and marketing of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) which provides them essential food, nutritional, medicinal needs and cash income also. As the business of MFP is different from the traditional ones, it denies due benefits. While government supported Corporations and Federations trade in some MFPs, a large number of these are traded freely in the market which is also not very helpful to the gatherers as MFP production is highly dispersed spatially and because of the poor accessibility of these areas, a competitive market does not exist. As a strategic interventions to ensure fair returns for the MFPs to the gatherers/collectors, the Government has come up with a new scheme of Mechanism for Marketing of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) through Minimum Support Price (MSP) and Development of Value Chain for MFP.

Through the MyGov Platform, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, seeks suggestions/information from all section of the society regarding innovative ideas for value addition to the MFPs, processing and marketing of MFPs, traditional skill and skill development, etc.

Moreover, honey is an "Amrut" in ayurveda can be precured from forest.

आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री जी, कम से कम आदिवासियों को तो बख्श दीजिए। हर व्यक्ति को मार्केट का हिस्सा बनाने की क्या जरूरत हैं? किसानों को मार्केट का हिस्सा बनाया तो वह आत्महत्या करना शुरु हो गए। आदिवासियों को नैसर्गिक जीवन का आनंद लेने दीजिए।

I would like to suggest to create brands of the forest outputs or adivasi areas and promote them nationally and internationally. All efforts should also be made to ensure that the proceeds go to the creaters of artifacts . Promoting goods made by the forest outputs could be most effectively done by social media not only in India but all over the world. Also the artisens could be given a market orientation so that they make the goods that the market absorbs... OTOP of Thailand is a good example.

How about packaging #MFPs in hygienic manner and marketing those at Khadi Gramodyog stores across the country? Ministry of Forests, ministry of Tribal affairs and Ministry of MSME may need to work together for that.

There is lot of scope to set up value addition units through collecting the NTFP products in a sustainable way in organised manner basing on the market needs to manufacture products like natural dyes & gums, herbal extracts & powders, bio pesticides, natural wax, processed honey, tamarind bricks, broom, essential oils, vettiver mats etc. If we put efforts in right way by studying the domestic & international market needs we can definitely make use of all NTFP collections on a sustainable way.

Mass production is not a solution, the aim should be to make the produce coveted by the Urban client and a way of life for the Rural populace........:)
