The National Policy on the utilisation of devil’s claw have been approved by the Cabinet to facilitate the conservation and management of the plant.

This policy will manage the resources, processes and products. It will also effectively promote biodiversity conservation and human development. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism will be able to monitor the use of devil’s claw, ensure that the best harvesting method is followed and to promote the value addition in Namibia.

The plant is indigenous and has been used as a medicinal plant to treat rheumatism and arthritis. In 1977 devil’s claw was declared a protected plant. A permitting system was used since then to regulate the harvesting and transport.

Since 1991 a progressive increase in the export of devil’s claw was shown. This concerned the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and the policy was implemented.
