Executive summary Orissa stands for quality so far the production and sale of kendu leaves in India is concerned. Market situation adversely affected kendu leaf sale even 40 years ago or so, so this is not a recent phenomenon. The recent problems are the anti-tobacco campaign and the changing tobacco consumption habits, the impact of which is claimed to have affected the production & sale of bidi, the only commercial end use of kendu leaf. Besides, the bidi industry has other internal and external threats/limitations/problems. Under such conditions, an effective & strategic production & sale policy can only help the state trading in kendu leaves profitably sustain for long in the interest of more than 17 lakh poor people dependent on this trade. Assessments indicate that the situation is not that bad, and also that the scope is bright if a proper strategy is implemented with sincerity. However, for long-term sustenance development of alternate market use is essential, and this can be achieved through dedicated R&D work. 3
