info wanted, Patchouli cultivation

[safla]

Thinking of growing Patchouli in between coconut plants on my farm. Have good water source, sprinklers, but need first hand advice if this is economical; if so, where to get cuttings? i use only organic method of farming. if Patchouli is easily prone to pests and diseases?

Dear friend,

Patchouli traders are fare weather friends .Suddenly traders import cheap oil from Indonesia and refuse to buy local produce/leaf for processing. Better to avoid cultivating this crop. High risk crop
