PPAM<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A strategic asset<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfumed, aromatic and medicinal plants (PPAM)<\/strong> play an increasingly important role in the agricultural and economic landscape of the Hautes-Alpes. Driven by climate change, which is reshuffling the cards in agricultural production, they represent an opportunity for diversification and value creation. Against this backdrop, the local V\u00e9g\u00e9t’Alpes<\/strong> network federates farmers, pickers, processors and distributors around a single ambition: to structure and develop a sustainable industry<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong>high-potential territory <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, the PPAM sector benefits from a number of assets specific to the region: rich biodiversity, well-preserved soils and recognized agricultural know-how. A recent assessment of the sector highlights the significant development potential<\/strong> of Alpine plants, destined for the food, cosmetics and even perfume markets. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To support this dynamic, a joint roadmap has been drawn up. It sets out the priorities: reinforcing the quality and traceability of production<\/strong>, increasing local processing<\/strong>, improving marketing<\/strong>, consolidating export outlets<\/strong>, and supporting research and development<\/strong>. The objective is clear: to make the Hautes-Alpes a benchmark region for PPAM. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

partners<\/strong>mobilized<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The success of the industry relies on close cooperation between all the players involved. Local farmers and pickers, processing companies, research organizations and local authorities are just some of the partners involved. Together, they help create economic synergies that enhance the attractiveness of the d\u00e9partement. Flagship companies include Acanthis Laboratoire, Karandja, La Plantivore, Gayral-Reynier and Altiflore<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
