Produktbeschreibung
The soil, climate and other environmental factors of the North Eastern Himalayan region of India is suitable for cultivation of lemongrass and citronella. It can be introduced as an alternative in wastelands in this region especially Sikkim, which improves the soil health, increases productivity and checks the soil erosion resulting in sustainable development of the area.Aromatic plants are generally perceived to be hardy and suitable for cultivation in waste lands, marginal lands and problematic lands.

The GC report proved the superiority of Himalayan lemongrass oil. In the process of crop diversification, vertical diversification in processing and value addition is of paramount importance.
