Justin M Cohen, Inder Singh, Megan E O'Brien Malaria Journal 2008, 7:200 (2 October 2008) The paper addresses the important issue of forecasting for ACT. Manufacturers of both raw material and of finished products need information in advance to plan for plantations and production and this has consequences regarding the financial disbursements for the demand for ACT and the various options that are available.

Commentary
Ensuring sustained ACT production and reliable artemisinin supply Jean-Marie Kindermans, Jacques Pilloy, Piero Olliaro, Melba Gomes Malaria Journal 2007, 6:125 (15 September 2007) This paper reviews recent trends in the production, supply and price of the active ingredients as well as finished ACT products. A steady and predictable demand for the crop can eliminate wide fluctuations and indirectly contribute to price stability of the herb and, hence, the drug.
