WHY AAMPS?
"Although sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands contain approximately 60 000 plant species – roughly a quarter of the world's total – only 83 of the worlds 1100 leading commercial medicinal plants are African in origin.
This situation will not change unless Africa, like India and China, prepares internationally recognised medicinal plant standards."
Professor Kobus Eloff – Founding member of the Association for African Medicinal Plants Standards and former Head of the Phytomedicine Programme, University of Pretoria, South Africa.
