Simplicia of turmeric and ginger is widely cultivated and developed by local farmers. Making these simplicia often does not meet the quality requirements because the process is still traditional and there are no guidelines used, there are still many raw materials for turmeric and ginger. The farmers of Ponorogo Regency cannot penetrate the traditional drug factory market. Objective: To determine the quality of turmeric and curcuma simplicia in Ponorogo. Method: Simplicia samples originating from Slahung village, Slahung sub-district, Ponrogo Regency were taken by purposive sampling.
