Resumo(s)
This paper concerns a study on the production of aromatic and medicinal plants (MAP) in
Portugal. These species have always been considered as interesting in cultural, social, culinary
and medicinal but only recently acquired an economic interest. Global growth of organic
farming and market demand in this direction led to the production of specific interest in MAP
organic production (MPB). In the particular case of Portugal, are known two ways to get
these plants: cultivation and spontaneous gathering. These two types of production associated
with the soil and climate of the country makes it a potential producer of these species,
although even today the import of plants from abroad, often of dubious quality, still the main
supplier of these species to the market. In an attempt to make the sector stronger and more
competitive we believe it important to make a first analysis, more profound, about the characteristics
of the producers of PAM on MPB in terms of culture: knowing who they are, where
they are, what they produce, how to produce and where they sell. Being aware that the features
of the islands are very specific, this study has focused on producers identified in Portugal.
