Ophiocordyceps sinensis as Non Wood Forest Product species does contribute appreciably to the rural communities and thus meet one of the criteria of food security which is envisaged in the development plan programme of the country. Considerably this natural product benefitted and improved the financial situation of the highland (O. sinensis growing regions) people of the Bhutan Himalaya.

Royal Decree accorded and has environment friendly policy in place for the harvest and sale of this product so that the natural resource is managed sustainably even though it is enlisted in the Schedule I of totally protected species.

There was a significance of difference on production of O. sinensis between and within the growing regions as it showed F = 7.088 at level p<.05. The total income generated was also significant to the regions, F (2, 46) = 5.460, p = .007.

The yield pattern of this product is difficult to understand as it tends to show inconsistent production level. However, most of the year it showed an increased in yield if it is sum for the country. Thus consistence, extensive and long term research is necessary in in-situ state so that its biological and production characters are understood.
