This Act regulates the trade of specific minor forest produce, such as timru leaves and mhowra flowers, throughout the entire state of Gujarat. It nationalizes this trade by restricting sales, purchases, and transportation to only the State Government, authorized officers, or their agents. The law aims to control the market for these goods, ensuring that growers receive fair value and preventing unauthorized commercial activity. By centralizing these operations, the government seeks to manage resources effectively and protect the interests of those who cultivate the forest produce.
