According to Deputy Chairman of the Quang Nam provincial People’s Committee Ho Quang Buu, the development programme of Ngoc Linh ginseng (Vietnamese ginseng) is at the national level with the participation of a lot of provinces with the potential for Ngoc Linh ginseng development.

The programme focuses on preserving the genetic resource of Vietnamese ginseng in natural forests in Quang Nam, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Lam Dong, Nghe An, and Lai Chau by 2030.

At the same time, the programme helps to protect and develop natural forests, to preserve biodiversity, to select the high-quality ginseng variety for production.

Ngoc Linh ginseng is planned to grow in an area of about 22,000 hectares by 2030. The output of ginseng will be approximately 300 tons a year then. And the ginseng quality will meet GMP - WHO standards.

Quang Nam has also proposed to facilitate the investment in planting and developing Ngoc Linh ginseng.

To deal with counterfeit ginseng, Quang Nam strengthens inspection and  supervision, and at the same time, broadcasting propaganda against poor-quality Ngoc Linh ginseng.

Besides, the province encourages to register for the geographical indication of Ngoc Linh ginseng in order to make it easy to identify the origin of the ginseng and avoid counterfeit ginseng.

The programme is considered the first step in the journey to bring Ngoc Linh ginseng into an industry that is able to compete with valuable ginsengs in the world.
