Abstract: Over the last two decades, there has been a significant surge in interest in traditional systems of medicine, particularly herbal remedies, in both developed and developing countries. The global and national markets for therapeutic plants are quickly expanding, resulting in huge economic gains. Despite their widespread use, various reports reveal that the quality of herbal products on the market is inconsistent. The fact that herbal remedies are complex to produce accounts for the variance in quality. Good agriculture and collection/harvesting methods have recently been acknowledged as a key instrument for maintaining the safety and quality of a number of medicinal plants and their products in recent years. This article examines the issues, developments, and future prospects for systems for collecting and post-harvest processing medicinal plant resources in order to produce high-quality herbal medications on a long-term basis. To produce a high-quality, effective herbal drug, the appropriate part of the medicinal plant must be harvested at the optimum stage of development, dried and stored at temperatures and conditions that do not degrade the active ingredients, and processed using a method that maximizes phytochemical recovery. Only by following all of these procedures can a high-quality product with batch-to-batch consistency be produced .In this way, the safety, efficacy, and quality of herbal products can be maintained, and billions of dollars can be invested in the country's burgeoning herbal markets.
