Promotion of nettle selling in Himachal Pradesh.

First step in promotion of wild food plants as a means of income generation and entrepreneurship development by selling of koogas (Nettle) dried leaves. Koogas (Urtica dioica & parviflora) dried leaves can be sold at the price of Rs 150/kg and stems at the price of Rs 13 /kg. Koogas grows luxuriantly in Himachal Pradesh and normally considered as a weed to be removed. Its leaves and stem can be used as a food, medicine and in extraction of fiber and chlorophyll. Koogas is rich in food and medicinal value also. Its marketing will be an easy source of earning money for local people because unlike traditional cropping, there is no need of its cultivation and care. As above ground plant parts are usually harvested, so there will be no fear of extinction. Only a special care is needed during its harvesting and drying. Till now this plant is highly neglected, but has tremendous potential in entrepreneurship development. So, it needs to be commercially utilized and entered in our food plate.
