Case Study Herbs in Germany
Case study on herbs as alternative to tobacco in Germany
After the end of EU subsidies for tobacco growing in 2010, farmers and processing companies in the Palatinate (Germany) switched to cultivating herbs. The German state of Rhineland Palatinate co-financed a herb drying facility, established by a former tobacco processing plant.[1]
Farmers from the area of Herxheim-Hayna formed the association Erzeugergemeinschaft Pfalzkräuter to sell e.g. parsley, dill, and coriander to the herb processing plant. The freshly harvested herbs are dried, processed and packed for sale.
