Before the "abnormalities" in campaigning for the establishment of the Vietnam Ginseng Producers Association, the public is questioning whether this is a new "game" of the "ginseng merchants"?
In recent days, public opinion, especially those who directly nurture, preserve and develop Ngoc Linh ginseng in Kon Tum, are especially interested in the information on the establishment of the Vietnam Ginseng Production Association. .
According to information in the press, the Campaign Committee to establish the Vietnam Ginseng Production Association (recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) has 16 members. Mr. Vo Kim Cu - Chairman of the Management Board, Director of the Institute for Conservation and Development of Ngoc Linh Ginseng Vietnam as Head of the Committee.
If you look at the list of campaign committees, it will not be difficult to notice the "abnormalities". The first is "absence" of organizations, businesses and individuals growing Ngoc Linh ginseng right on the "hometown of Ngoc Linh ginseng", such as Kon Tum, Quang Nam.

The leader of Tu Mo Rong district said that in the district, there is 1 company participating in the campaigning board, but this is a company that only does scientific projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The businesses that are growing Ngoc Linh ginseng in the area do not know and do not have names.
Another enterprise that has nearly 30 years of growing and protecting Ngoc Linh ginseng genetic resources is Dak To Forestry One Member Limited Company, and currently has about 30 hectares of Ngoc Linh ginseng, also said that it has not received any information about its establishment. Vietnam Ginseng Producers Association.
Meanwhile, there are 9/16 members of the campaigning committee of Ngoc Linh Vietnam Medicine and Ginseng Group Joint Stock Company, led by Mr. Vo Kim Cu as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
It is also mentioned that in recent years, Ngoc Linh Vietnam Medicine and Ginseng Group Joint Stock Company has opened many branches in provinces and cities to carry out the "mission" of bringing Ngoc Linh ginseng to every home. . Especially bringing Ngoc Linh ginseng to the world, affirming Vietnam's position as "the capital of Southern medicine".
But what about reality? Recently, the activities of Ngoc Linh Vietnam Medicine and Ginseng Group Joint Stock Company in Kon Tum province always have negative information. To be precise, the press is constantly "exploiting" the "ambiguous", unclear.
Accordingly, from January 1, the press discovered and reflected this business growing Ngoc Linh ginseng "on paper".
At that time, Ngoc Linh Kon Tum Ginseng Wine Joint Stock Company - a member of Vietnam Ngoc Linh Pharmaceutical Group Joint Stock Company - announced that it owned a "terrible" Ngoc Linh ginseng garden, with an area of up to 600 hectares, which is owned by Ngoc Linh ginseng. planted on top of Ngoc Linh mountain.
Immediately after, the government of Tu Mo Rong district spoke out against the above information, and confirmed that this business did not have a project to grow ginseng, nor did it associate planting ginseng with people in the area.
According to the local government, Ngoc Linh Kon Tum Ginseng Wine Joint Stock Company is only implementing tissue culture (for 4 years), has just been handed over more than 24,4 hectares at the end of October 10 to pilot the plant. tissue cultured ginseng seeds in the field in Tu Mo Rong district.
But the matter did not stop there. In May 5, this enterprise has written to confirm that this unit has been producing seeds, planting, protecting, preserving and exploiting Ngoc Linh ginseng in the area. A vice chairman of the People's Committee of Tu Mo Rong district signed the above document.
After that, through the review, the People's Committee of Tu Mo Rong district determined that the content of this certificate was not consistent with reality, the processing process was not guaranteed, so the above certificate was canceled.

Surprisingly, Ngoc Linh Vietnam Medicine and Ginseng Group Joint Stock Company used the same copy of the canceled document to provide the Food Safety Department (Ministry of Health) to register for the announcement of protective products. health.
The matter only "came to light" when the Food Safety Department sent a written request to the People's Committee of Tu Mo Rong District to verify the certificate of "Seed production, planting, protection, conservation and exploitation of Ngoc Linh ginseng" in the area. Tu Mo Rong district for Ngoc Linh Kon Tum Ginseng Joint Stock Company is still valid or not and has it been withdrawn.
According to his personal profile from 2018 to present, Mr. Vo Kim Cu works as a senior advisor for Ngoc Linh Kon Tum Ginseng Joint Stock Company, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ngoc Linh Vietnam Medicine and Ginseng Group Joint Stock Company.
From these clutters, public opinion wondered whether Mr. Vo Kim Cu campaigning for the establishment of the association was convincing enough, and could create a high consensus from organizations and individuals growing ginseng in different locations. side or not?
Not to mention that more than half of the campaign members are from a business, can the situation of "alone horse" be avoided?
Also from the "abnormalities" in the composition of the campaign committee to establish the Vietnam Ginseng Producers Association, the public is questioning whether this is a new "game" of the "ginseng dealers"?
Those doubts and doubts are not unfounded. Because no one can forget that Ngoc Linh Vietnam Medicine and Ginseng Group Joint Stock Company opened a series of branches and stores across the country, selling many products promoted as "extracted from Ngoc Linh ginseng".
While the business itself does not grow or associate with Ngoc Linh ginseng, and only owns a "terrible" Ngoc Linh ginseng garden grown "on paper". Not forgetting the fact that businesses using documents have been revoked to register health protection products.
The establishment of the Vietnam Ginseng Producers Association is considered a "should-do", in order to contribute to promoting the conservation and development of ginseng, including Ngoc Linh ginseng, bringing values and brands further.
However, it is necessary to link businesses and localities in the "ginseng area", directly grow and produce ginseng, have raw materials, or link and produce ginseng, especially Ngoc Linh ginseng, and must be on voluntary spirit, participating together for the common good.
In particular, it is necessary to prevent the cases of entering the association not to protect and develop Ngoc Linh ginseng, but because the "mark" is in the association to "follow", do ambiguous, hidden business to profit. , adversely affecting the reputation of Ngoc Linh Ginseng in particular, and Vietnamese Ginseng in general.
