The article describes the agricultural aspects of the medicinal herbs market as raw material basis for the pharmaceutical market of the Republic of Belarus. The production indexes and economic efficiency of the allheal (Valeriana gen.) and camomile (Matricaria spp.) production are analyzed. The export level of the medicinal plants, used for the perfumery, pharmaceutical and insecticide production is calculated. The economic efficiency of some drug plants species cultivation (balm (Melissa), mint (Mentha gen.), beggars-ticks (Bidens), sage (Salvia gen.) is analyzed. The importance of medicinal herbs growing is rising due to the high proficiency and effectiveness of production. The medicinal herbs cultivation could be used as an additional profit for the rural population, means for meeting current demands for large volume production, but also as a means for relieving harvest pressure on wild populations of herbs.
