Leafy vegetables of north-eastern region attract considerable attention due to their rich food value. Tribal people in the remote localities are basically depending upon these vegetables which they harvest from the nature. Limited attempts have been made to bring these vegetables into cultivation. There is considerable scope to collect, evaluate and improve these vegetables. Systematic cultivation can also unfold the marketing potential of these plants among the rural communities of NE region.
