“…A noticeable deficiency is the lack of intermediaries for knowledge transfer from the custodians of the MPs used in VC health management to the industry in the country. This has been explained by the fact that the global supply of MPs is regulated by the developed nations of Asia, Europe and North America (Karik & Tunçtürk 2019). Thus, the commercialisation of MPs in South Africa is complex.…”

“…Moreover, experiences from other sectors, such as phytopharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals show that if commercialised, the MPs can offer alternative affordable organic medicine for poultry farmers and create opportunities for local entrepreneurs (Nwafor, Nwafor & Manduna 2021). Globally, the international trade of MPs has increased (Hamilton 2013), exceeding the market value of US$107 billion annually (Karik & Tunçtürk 2019). In addition, the World Bank projects medicinal plant trade to grow to US$5 trillion by 2050 (Bucher et al 2020).…”

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 distribution of plants on Earth is uneven, but the tropics are the richest areas of diversity, especially the northern parts of South America and the Indonesian archipelago (Anonim, 2016). The number of plant species in the world is estimated as 320.000 with 3.000 of them used just for food production, 25.000 for treatment, 5.000 for industrial purposes, 15.000 as ornamental plants, and the rest are applied for other purposes (Karık and Tunçtürk, 2019). Moreover, the number of medicinal plants popular worldwide is 4-6.000, and the number of species traded is 3.000 (Acıbuca and Budak, 2018).…”

“…As a result, the number of drugs known to be used in treatment and obtained from medicinal plants is greater than ever before. As Karık and Tunçtürk (2019) point out, the rate of drugs listed as originally made from plants is more than 40%, although it was less than 5% in the mid-1970s.…”

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are widely used in traditional foods, as food supplements or herbal medicines throughout history. Recently, MAPs are generally defined as plants that are used as drugs to prevent or cure diseases in order to maintain health and for other purposes. In general, MAPs used as food, herbal tea, supplementary food and medicine are obtained from nature or through cultivation. There is a worldwide trend of increased use MAPs, and although treating diseases with medicinal plants is more common in Far East countries, the trade of herbal medicinal products is a rising market in western societies. When we consider the trend of MAPs, Turkey is an important genetic center of many plant species thanks to its geographical location and genetic diversity. In addition, Turkey is a main partner of many countries that demand MAPs products for the world MAPs market. In this paper, the current situation of MAPs production in the world and Turkey are reviewed based on available data. In addition, this review touches upon Turkey's historical, cultural and economic situation as well as the subsidies for and research and development (R&D) activities focused on MAPs. Finally, the opportunities, potential, problems and outlook in this area are described in order to inform future decisions about MAPs.

“…There is also a claim that there are 422 thousands flowering plants in the world and 72 thousands of them are used for medicinal purposes. Beyond that, studies by Karik U., Tunçtürk M. (2019) show that 900 species of medicinal plants in the world are grown for commercial purposes and that the production of medicinal plants, including essential oily and spicy, in the modern global agro-industrial complex is considered to be one of the most profitable. Export-import of medicinal plants in the world is also widely developed in today's conditions.…”
