dc.description.abstractThe project “Essential Oils Commercialization for Public Health Products Development and Rational Promotion (EOCCPHP)” seeks to address the rising demand for essential oils in the public health sector amidst limited local production. The initiative focuses on bridging knowledge and processing gaps, promoting sustainable cultivation through out-grower schemes, and supporting value addition and commercialization. Key achievements include the establishment of a factory at Bishop Stuart University (BSU), the development of essential oil-based products, and partnerships with farmers—especially women—along the value chain. The project has also undertaken surveys for crop targeting, training on primary processing, and policy engagement. Challenges remain in infrastructure, standardization, packaging, and market access. Future directions include mobile distillation units, regional farmer cooperatives, and integration into leisure and wellness industries. The initiative aims to create employment, promote environmental sustainability, and reduce reliance on imported synthetic oils.
