“…The market is available because they are used by the villagers in the Vhembe District of South Africa (Chitura et al 2018). Currently, Germany, the USA and Hong Kong are leading in the commercialisation of MPs for livestock, with about 80% of their trade being carried out in about 12 countries (Nugroho et al 2016;Tanga et al 2018). Interestingly, among the traded and commercialised MPs, not much is known about the ones for the VC management.…”

“…Another overarching global issue on the commercialisation of the MPs is market regulation. It is well established that wholesalers in the MPs value chain have more significant margins ranging from 1.5-to 20-fold than collectors (Nugroho et al 2016). Additionally, bureaucracy along the MPs' value chain is inhibiting in commercialising medicinal products (Astutik et al 2019).…”

Background: Medicinal plants (MPs) are widely accepted and used in most rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond to treat and control village chicken (VC) diseases and parasites. They are readily available, accessible and cheap. Moreover, they are nature friendly and have adapted to the local environment, making them easy to produce. Over and above, their use has health benefits for consumers. Little is known about the opportunities and challenges faced when commercialising these MPs.Aim: It is imperative to unpack the opportunities and challenges that are encountered while commercialising MPs used for treating VC diseases and controlling parasites. Despite these multiple benefits, the commercialisation of these plants seems to be under researched. In South Africa, different rural communities use various MPs in their locality. For instance, most rural families in South Africa are using Aloe ferox, Helichrysum petiolare, Tagetes minuta, Lippia javanica, Agave sisalana, Gunnera perpensa and Millettia grandis. Conspicuously, not much is known about the efforts made to commercialise these products.Method: Through a systematic review of the literature, this paper unpacks the trends, opportunities and challenges faced in commercialising MPs used to treat VC disease and control parasites.Results: Results have revealed that globally MPs for VC management are not widely recognised, despite their wide usage by local communities. If properly harnessed, they have the potential to strengthen local economic development through income generation. However, currently, little is derived from the sale of these products because of the presence of middlemen. Their commercialisation efforts are hampered by the lack of organised support systems and networks, lack of regularisation strategies and clear criteria for supporting quality, protection and presumed efficiency.Conclusion: By commercialising MPs, local farmers can exploit MPs beyond the village chickens to broiler and layer chickens, thus offering alternative chicken health and affordable medicinal options for the farmers.Contribution: The study contributes to understanding the available opportunities and challenges in commercialising MPs used for village chicken health management. It further demonstrates that MPs for village health can be used to transform the livelihoods of the custodians of these plants.

The testes are two glandular organs in the male reproductive system responsible for producing gametes called sperm and synthesizing androgen hormone called testosterone. The two functions of the testes are used as parameters for fertility and sexual performance in males. This paper presents the results of research to find plant-derived ingredients that are potential to treat disorders related to testicular function carried out in Indonesia in the last two decades. The inclusions criteria of the papers compiled are: containing the results of research conducted in Indonesia, by Indonesian researchers; have been published both in national and international journals that can be accessed using Google search engine. The results indicated there are numerous plant species that were revealed to have potentials to be developed as contraceptive or anti-fertility agent, pro-fertility ingredient and sexual activity enhancer herbs in males. Given fertility, infertility, and sexual behavior in males are all determined by the function of testes, it can be concluded that the Indonesian medicinal plants studied are containing active substance that have an effect on the testes.

“…In general, these plants are harvested naturally and have been used for hundreds of years from generation to generation without paying attention to their cultivation efforts. On the other hand, the exploitation of medicinal plants for commercial needs is increasing, medicinal plants as raw materials are turned into marketable goods with monetary or exchange value (Nugroho et al 2016). Some of the medicinal plant species are starting to decrease in quantity and even lose their habitat.…”

Abstract. Hidayat S, Zuhud EAM, Widyatmoko D, Bahruni, Batubara I. 2021. The commercial potential of forest trees as medicinal and health ingredients. Biodiversitas 22: 2795-2804. Indonesian forests contain many trees that belong to medicinal plants classified as non-timber forest products (NTFP). Although these plants have been used from generation to generation by several ethnic groups and even some of them have become commercial goods, many species have not received special attention in terms of their cultivation. This study aimed to explore the commercial value of forest trees as medicinal ingredients and obtain a recommended ranking for their cultivation. The method used was market surveys to herbal stores and questionnaires to experts related to medicinal plants. The results showed that there are 59 species of forest trees used as medicinal ingredients and health supplements. Cinnamomum burmanni, Morinda citrifolia, and Moringa oleifera have the most diverse commercial products in drugs and health stores. These three species also have active ingredients that potentially substitute for chemical drugs. Following the advice of medicinal plant experts, these three species are also included in the ten species recommended for immediate cultivation.
