With the propaganda, mobilization and support of the local Party Committee and government, the village has over 40 households participating in ginseng growing. Another advantage is that specialized agencies and businesses provide technical guidance on land preparation, nursery and seeding. This year, the villagers planted about 7,000m2 of Lai Chau ginseng, increasing the area of the whole village to over 3ha.

Mr. Vu Van Cuong - Director of Muong Te Ginseng Joint Stock Company said: After a field survey and consultation with scientists and the direction of the province and district, the company has deployed Lai Chau ginseng planting in Nhom Po village (Ta Ba commune). After 5 years of implementation, it has been shown that this is a native crop with characteristics suitable for growing under the forest canopy, no longer an agricultural crop to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, but can help people get rich right in their homeland.
