Project Overview: Sustainable Nagarmotha (Cypriol) Collection Initiative

1. Introduction to Nagarmotha Oil: Nagarmotha oil, derived from the roots of Cyperus scariosus, is a prized essential oil renowned for its aromatic and therapeutic properties. Widely utilized in the fragrance, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, Nagarmotha oil offers a unique blend of earthy notes and medicinal benefits.
2. Characteristics of Madhya Pradesh Nagarmotha Oil: Originating from the diverse landscapes of Madhya Pradesh, Nagarmotha oil boasts distinctive characteristics. Notably, the cyprene content of Nagarmotha oil sourced from the region ranges from 20% to 27%, contributing to its potency and fragrance profile.
3. Regulation and Collection Process: As a naturally occurring weed, Nagarmotha is classified as a forest product, subject to regulation by the Forest Department. Tribal farmers, integral to the collection process, adhere to guidelines set forth by regulatory authorities. Pricing mechanisms, managed through a minimum support price framework, ensure fair compensation for collectors.
4. BioDiversity License Requirement: Companies engaged in Nagarmotha collection are required to obtain a BioDiversity License from the Forest Department. This regulatory measure is aimed at promoting responsible harvesting practices and biodiversity conservation in the region.
5. Sustainable Collection Initiative: In alignment with its commitment to sustainability, Origin Oils has launched a holistic Nagarmotha collection initiative. Tribal farmers undergo comprehensive training programs focused on sustainable harvesting techniques, minimizing ecological impact while maximizing yield. Emphasis is placed on selective harvesting to ensure the preservation of biodiversity and the continuity of natural regeneration processes.
6. Ensuring Sustainability and Fairness: Through the implementation of sustainable practices and fair pricing mechanisms, Origin Oils ensures that the Nagarmotha oil produced is both environmentally sustainable and socially equitable. By prioritizing the well-being of ecosystems and communities, Origin Oils fosters a supply chain that is ethical, transparent, and resilient.

In summary, Origin Oils’ Sustainable Nagarmotha Collection Initiative embodies a holistic approach to resource management, emphasizing environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. By championing sustainable practices and fair trade principles, the initiative aims to cultivate a future where Nagarmotha oil production thrives in harmony with nature and society.
