Diabetes mellitus is a general disturbance of metabolism and has been a major public health issue in Indonesia. Indonesia has numerous medicinal plants that are used in traditional medicine. Lemongrass and ginger are two of the medicinal plants that show anti-diabetic potency, where they are developed into an anti-diabetic product and later will be commercialized into a health product. But there are some challenges in commercializing the product. This study aimed to identify the bridge gap between research and commercialization by knowing the point of view of ABG (Academic, Business and Government). A literature review and an interview were conducted in this study. As a result, both research and empirical is needed, between Academic, Business and Government need a real cooperation, equalize perceptions and also awareness in herbal products, there is always the possibility of lemongrass and ginger being commercialized as an anti-diabetic product, but there should be a consideration in mixing them, the shape, the trends, the stability, and shelf life of the product, the prospect of herbal products in the future is very bright. In addition, herbal products can be sold both domestically and internationally depending on how smart we are in making the herbal products. In conclusion, a student or researcher should think carefully about creating a product and have entrepreneurial thinking.
