Mang Ri aims to become the "capital" of medicinal herbs.

Mang Ri commune in Quang Ngai province is emerging as a bright spot in the development of medicinal plants linked to sustainable livelihoods, thanks to its advantages of a cool climate, vast forest ecosystem, and unique ecological conditions of the Ngoc Linh mountain region.

In recent years, medicinal plants have been identified as a new direction for local economic development. Among them, Ngoc Linh ginseng is the main crop, possessing high economic value and suitable for the region's natural conditions. Besides that, many other medicinal plants such as red ginseng, cardamom, schisandra, etc., are also being cultivated on an expanded scale, contributing to the diversification of livelihoods for the people.

The locality is orienting the development of the medicinal plant industry along a closed value chain, from cultivation and preliminary processing to deep processing, in order to enhance product value and create stable outlets. The model of growing medicinal plants under the forest canopy is also encouraged, both protecting forest resources and improving economic efficiency.

With its large forest area, high canopy cover, and a workforce dedicated to agriculture and forestry, Mang Ri has many favorable conditions for forming a concentrated raw material area. The locality hopes to become the "capital" of medicinal herbs for the province and the country, contributing to bringing its distinctive products to larger markets.
