Later on, arrangement for cultivation of this drug was made in Burma and Ceylon too. Besides Malaria, Cinchona finds its application in many other diseases, by which demand of this drug has been increased a much now-a days. It is available in about 40 different varities among which Indian Cinchona is best in the world. India government earns a considerable amount of foreign exchange by exporting it.
