In Slovenia, medicinal and aromatic plants are cultivated on 20 ha. This area is highly fragmented. Also, mechanization of production is very low. Consequently, cost price of domestic drug plants is too high to be competitive with imports. The yield issued from the above cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants is 50 tons. 165 tons of drug plants is obtained from native habitats. Overall supply of drug plants and of their half-products (domestic supply 215 t, import of drug plants 1157 t, import of half-products - fluid extracts, dry/dense extracts, essential oils 62 t) exceeds overall demand after drug plants (domestic processing industries/laboratories demand 650 t, export 600 t) or half-products (domestic processing industries/laboratories demand 44 t, export 7.4 t). 707 t of drug plants and 8.2 t of half-products, which could be cultivated/produced in Slovenia, are imported. Discrepancy between demand and supply shows the need of quality-based regulation of imports and/or development of domestic cultivation/processing of medicinal and aromatic plants/half-products.
