Ngoc Linh Mountain is located in Quang Nam and Kon Tum provinces – located on Truong Son mountain range all year round. In Quang Nam province, on the top of the mountain, there are 4 villages of the Xo Dang ethnic group in Tra Linh commune, Nam Tra My district. The precious ginseng species on top of Ngoc Linh has brought the opportunity to change lives for the people here. From the most difficult commune of the upland district of Nam Tra My, Quang Nam province, now Tra Linh commune has had “village of billionaires” in the midst of thousands thanks to Ngoc Linh ginseng.

From the center of the highland district of Nam Tra My, Quang Nam province has to pass nearly 40 kilometers through winding and steep roads to reach the “kingdom of ginseng” in Tra Linh commune.

Mr. Ho Van Roi takes care of his family’s 4-year-old ginseng garden. Mr. Ho Van Ri’s family in the village of Tac Ngo, Tra Linh commune, which used to be a poor household, is now a rich household in the locality. Mr. Roi said that when he had not cultivated ginseng, his family’s economy completely depended on upland fields. Maybe he went to the field to work for a whole month before he came back. Family meal is only cassava and corn. Every time I got sick, I could not borrow a car, I had to walk a few dozen kilometers of forest road to the district center for treatment. When he learned about the precious ginseng variety, Mr. Ho Van Ri’s family planted and propagated himself. Up to now, after 10 years of construction, Ngoc Linh ginseng garden has 300 trees from 1-7 years old, earning hundreds of millions VND / year. In the spacious house, superficial with full amenities, Mr. Roi said he changed his life thanks to ginseng. “The economic value that ginseng brings to the family is very high. Now I have money to buy food, buy a house … “, a Roi said. Five years ago, the people here never dared to think that they could get rich thanks to this naturally growing forest tree. The house of about 60 square meters of Mr. Ho Van Toan, in village 2, Tra Linh commune, calculated that a billion silver is equivalent to 5 kg of medium ginseng. This is also the price to build a common house for people in the village. Anh Toan said, in the past, people in the village did not know the real value of ginseng, but used ginseng leaves to feed pigs. Yet now, the 1-year-old ginseng costs 300,000 VND / tree, the 2-year-old is 600,000 VND / tree; 1 kg of fresh leaves costs 10 million VND, 100 grams of ginseng costs an average of 20 million VND. Realizing the high value from the ginseng tree, now throughout the villages and villages around the top of Ngoc Linh mountain, people are conscious of protecting this precious ginseng. Mr. Ho Van Toan said that here people all set up posts to keep forests to protect ginseng. “I have to set up a trap next to the ginseng plant for 24-hour protection. At night, we have to go check and catch frogs and rats to avoid the rat biting of ginseng. I want the government to support the cultivation of ginseng so that people can both have income and protect the forest, ”said Mathematics. Nam Tra My district, Quang Nam province has 7 communes with 1,200 households participating in growing Ngoc Linh ginseng on an area of ​​1,560 ha. Mr. Trinh Minh Quy, Director of Sam Ngoc Linh Ginseng Center, Nam Tra My District, Quang Nam Province, said that the original region of Dak Ngo ginseng, Tra Linh commune has accepted two research projects on the original Ngoc Linh ginseng region. Currently, there are 13 businesses investing nearly 280 hectares of ginseng in 3 communes Tra Linh, Tra Nam and Tra Cang. According to Mr. Trinh Minh Quy, Quang Nam province will form tourism in the original ginseng region associated with economic development and forest protection. Over the years, tours to the original ginseng region have attracted 3,000-4,000 people to visit this region. “It is expected that the formation of a tourist route in the Tonkin ginseng region in the coming time will develop and attract more visitors. When developing tourism, the original ginseng region will be related to forest protection and nature protection, so the center is now aiming to build such tourism products, ”Mr. Quy said. The houses are spacious, superficial in the midst of great Truong Son. According to the planning of Quang Nam province, in the past 5 years, Nam Tra My district has produced seeds, provided support to 7 communes with more than 20,000 ginseng seedlings. Mr. Phan Viet Cuong, Secretary of Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee, said that the investment in large-scale growing Ngoc Linh ginseng will be a right direction for sustainable poverty reduction for people. To do this, first of all, it is necessary to deploy models of cooperation in investment and development of Ngoc Linh ginseng with the application of high-tech science and technology. “Quang Nam province will hold many scientific seminars, investment promotion to call for large and experienced enterprises in ginseng growing as well as processing ginseng, towards opening a processing factory in Quang Nam such as Some countries have done it. Next, the province will also improve the quality of Ngoc Linh ginseng to create jobs and increase income for people ”, Mr. Cuong affirmed.
