Thinking of growing Brahmi on a wet low lying plot. Is there an actual buyer for it or only hype?

Brahmi, the creeping herb used widely in Ayurvedic memory and brain tonics, does have demand from herbal and Ayurvedic manufacturers, and it suits moist, low lying or marshy land where many other crops struggle. But like other medicinal herbs there is no fixed mandi price, demand is buyer driven, and contract or buyback offers are sometimes mis-sold. Before planting, identify and confirm an actual buyer, a herbal company, a known jadi booti trader, or a cooperative, and get the price per kg of dry herb, the quality standard and the quantity in writing. Brahmi is a fast multiplying crop you can harvest several times a year, so the risk per cycle is lower than a two year root crop, but you still must have a buyer or you will be stuck with dried leaves nobody wants. Verify demand locally before scaling up.
It grows like a weed once established on wet land, that is the easy part. Selling is the real test. Fix your buyer first.
I supply fresh Brahmi to a local Ayurvedic unit. They want clean herb free of other weeds mixed in. Purity of the harvest matters to them.
