INDONESIA

• The traditional herbal system of medicine has been used since ancient times

• Most of the developing countries and in particular those situated in the tropical belt such as Indonesia constitute richest store house of medicinal plants

• Only a few of these countries have been able to organize proper system of research and development for exploitation, conservation or industrial use of these plants.

• The indiscriminate export and exploitation by private traders of valuable raw materials also creates ecological imbalance

• Indonesian government has in view of its importance, identified medicinal plants as a priority area of the country’s program.
