Abstract

Tribals and minor forest products (MFP) are inseparable because the tribals generally inhabit in forest areas and nearby locations. Since the tribals have access and also do not possess special skills for other professions, they naturally look to the products that are in their vicinity. The state tribal welfare departments and the central tribal affairs department are connected with these tribal populations in implementing welfare and other schemes. The collection of MFP and its channeling to the markets is handled by the unorganized and organized sectors. The proactive steps taken by the tribal cooperative marketing development federation of India of Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt. of India, like minimum support price, market development and other promotion measures in close coordination with the state departments and agencies has improved the marketing system of produce collected by tribals. However, there are a few issues which need attention of various stakeholders.
