Sisal is emerging as an important species for plantation in wasteland/ degraded forest land for its numerous end-uses, all over the globe. Though exotic; it has been tried by the Forest Department of Jharkhand, Odisha and other states of India on a selective basis. The paper discusses the marketing strategies; price trend and other techno-economic factors in the context of Jharkhand and India to utilize its full potential for Indian agroforestry. It also points to the fact that there is a high gap in price fetched by the International market, and what is fetched at the national level- hence there is an urgent need to minimize it by the appropriate marketing efforts.
