About 40 tons of Jatamasi (Nardostachys jatamansi) and 10 tons of Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) was collected from Bagjale community forest of Jumla, far western Nepal. With this, the community forest users' committee has raised nearly one million in revenue. NPR 10 was imposed as tax for one kg of Jatamasi while it was NPR 50 for one kg of Kutki.
