Traditionally, Germany is among the most important locations for producing and processing medicinal and spice plants in Europe. Especially medium-sized manufactures which produce spices, aromas, food supplements, and herbal medicines hold a leading position at the international level. The Operational Group (OG) Aromatic Mint focuses on the innovative potential of their project on mint varieties with high menthol content and special aromas. Objectives are increasing the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises, introducing new and marketable products with improved qualities providing regionally produced, high-value plants for processing and ensuring a sustainable and environmentally responsible production of useful plants. Finally, the OG develops recommendations concerning cultivation practices suitable for the needs of the selected mint varieties.
