According to the FAO’s Forest Resource Assessment (2015), Non-wood forest products (NWFPs) are defined as “goods derived from forests that are tangible and physical objects of biological origin other than wood.”
Bio Bhutan works closely with local communities such as Farmers Cooperatives, Medicinal Plant Groups, Community Forest Management Groups, Women Groups and other farmer groups to identify potential NWFP products, standardize harvesting and post harvesting care, develop product or value add and market. Some of the important NWFP products are Chirata, Himalayan Gooseberry, Lemongrass, Myrobalan fruits, Soap nut and Wild Honey.
