Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the resources of medicinal plants (MP) in the southern Altai of East Kazakhstan region. As a result of the conducted researches in all communities productivity, operational stocks (OS) of medicinal raw materials and volumes of annual possible preparations (VAPP) are defined. A map of the point distribution areas of the studied medicinal plants is drawn up and specific areas are indicated where it is possible to introduce a scientifically based raw material harvesting. Analysis of stocks of raw materials of medicinal plants showed that three species in 4 coenopopulation (CP) of belong to the I category. To the II category includes 13 species in 17 of the CP. 10 types in 11 CP are assigned to category III. Of the studied species, significant reserves of raw materials form 2 types of medicinal plants in 3 CP, from 100 t and more (IV category).
