- <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Forests play a crucial role in environmental sustainability and livelihood security, particularly for tribal communities dependent on non-timber forest products. The northwestern part of Pune district, located in the Sahyadri (Western Ghats) range, is characterized by hilly terrain, high rainfall, and rich forest cover. The region is predominantly inhabited by the Mahadev Koli tribal community, whose livelihood is closely linked to forest resources. Among these resources, Hirda (<em>Terminalia chebula</em>) is one of the most economically and medicinally significant forest products, widely used in Ayurveda and serving as the primary source of cash income for tribal households, especially during the summer season.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hirda is an important non-timber forest product widely used in traditional medicine and rural trade. The present study analyzes the trend of Hirda fruit procurement by the Tribal Cooperative Marketing Society (T.C.M.S.) from 2001–2002 to 2009–2010. The study examines yearly procurement data and price variation of Hirda fruit. The findings reveal a gradual increase in procurement during the study period, indicating growing demand and improved market systems. The price analysis shows that Hirda Bal fruit recorded a maximum price of Rs. 80 per kg and a minimum price of Rs. 50 per kg. The study highlights the economic importance of Hirda for forest-dependent communities.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span>Keywords:</span></em></strong><span> Hirda, Non-Timber Forest Products, Forest Economy, Trend Analysis, junnar and ambegaon tahasil, Medicinal Plants</span></p>
