Abstract

Relevant social and economic aspects were identified to understand the dynamics of culture and production of medicinal herbs as from publications in scientific journals, theses and dissertations provided by CAPES between 2008 and 2013. Current comparative bibliographical research was based on references with the keywords: medicinal herbs, social and economic analysis, cooperative, phytotherapy, family agriculture, commercialization and rural development. Results show that the factor ‘public policies’ was predominant and showed the importance of maintaining family business by rural producers. The latter may be achieved by incorporating earnings to products of low aggregate value. On the other hand, they provide loan programs at low interests and activities against social inequality.
