Ngoc Linh ginseng seedlings are carefully planted under ancient trees, and protected by fences.
Ngoc Linh ginseng is one of the world’s most precious ginsengs. It has been approved as a national product under the Prime Minister’s Decision 787/QD-TTg, and provided with geographical indication “Ngoc Linh” for ginseng bulbs in Kon Tum and Quang Nam provinces. Kon Tum province has developed over 500 hectares of the high-value plant.
Each kilogram of Ngoc Linh ginseng is sold at VND100 million; therefore, it is protected very carefully.
