No less than other goods, the trading of "national treasure Ngoc Linh ginseng" on the internet is also very "busy" and bustling, mixed with real and fake.
Type a search on Google, you can find on forums or websites attractive introductions and offers about Ngoc Linh ginseng, including leaves, flowers, tubers, and products from Ngoc Linh ginseng.
All of them affirmed like nails that "real goods, new forest goods". In addition, it also sells at a discount, free shipping, with gifts and user manuals.

There are even "Ngoc Linh ginseng" bulbs advertised as more than 50 eyes, nearly meters long, weighing more than 3 ounces, also for sale at "soft prices".
To make it more convincing to demanding customers, some sellers even display “tested” certificates.
Recently, I saw a facebook page that posted selling 2 "terrible" Ngoc Linh ginseng, weighing 2 ounces / tuber with "cheap", I asked "how much is cheap", and was answered "each tuber". less than 10 million. Cheapest in the world."
The seller not only persuaded "10 million gentlemen to drink in a few days, but buy this ginseng root for long-term use, more precious than gold" but also turned to me to introduce customers to help.
Also at this facebook address, the seller also posted a picture of a box of bright red "Ngoc Linh ginseng" flowers, introducing this as a shipment of "a few kilograms new from the forest", selling for 5 million VND/kg.
Bring the picture of 2 huge ginseng roots to Mr. A T. - a longtime Ngoc Linh ginseng grower in Mang Ri commune (Tu Mo Rong district). He said angrily: Look, you know it's not Ngoc Linh ginseng. Because real ginseng does not have a lump, a lump, and looks so deformed. That's a scam indeed.
Mr. T. is frustrated: It is incomprehensible, Ngoc Linh ginseng, from leaves, flowers to tubers, also reduces prices, gives promotional gifts or "discharges" like any other goods. It's really "crazy" all up.
According to Mr. T., not everyone who sells Ngoc Linh ginseng on social networks is also selling fake ginseng, but most are not real Ngoc Linh ginseng. Where is ginseng so much and so cheap?
As about Ngoc Linh ginseng seeds, currently in Tu Mo Rong, the capital of Ngoc Linh ginseng, is priced at 100.000 VND per seed. Ginseng leaves also fluctuate from 10 to 12 million VND/kg, only available around August, September, when growers finish harvesting the seeds, but not much. Flowers are not sold by anyone, to get seeds to plant or sell to have value.
Regarding the price of ginseng roots, it is clear that there is no such thing as "soft as vermicelli". Just look at Ngoc Linh ginseng that won the first prize of Ngoc Linh Ginseng Contest (organized by Tu Mo Rong District People's Committee in February 2) with a weight of 2023 grams, over 250 years old, sold at auction for 20 million VND.
Besides, natural Ngoc Linh ginseng is "extremely rare", if not nonexistent; Cultivated ginseng is also not sold to the market much, where to get large quantities to "wholesale", to "discount" and "discharge".
It must be affirmed that the trading activity of "national treasure Ngoc Linh ginseng" in the online environment is very busy, real and fake, not only causing economic damage to consumers, but also making a great impact. to the building of the national brand and product of Ngoc Linh ginseng.
The question is what to do to get rid of this problem?
According to leaders of the Industry and Trade industry, in recent years, authorities, functional sectors and businesses have implemented many drastic measures to manage the origin of Ngoc Linh ginseng as well as the purchase and sale of Ngoc Linh ginseng. in the area, including inspecting, detecting and strictly handling cases of fake ginseng trading; improve the quality assessment capacity of Ngoc Linh ginseng.
However, the processing is also facing many difficulties. The key problem is that to determine real or fake ginseng requires testing, which is expensive and time-consuming, but at present, when checking, the functional forces still only conduct appraisal by ... the naked eye, so difficult to conclude.
In addition, most buyers who have to buy fake ginseng accept "sweet soap", without reporting it to the authorities, so there is no basis for settlement.
It is also difficult to handle social networking sites that buy and sell fake ginseng, because if the authorities remove this page, people will set up another page and continue to sell.
Many opinions believe that, in the coming time, in addition to strengthening the state management of the use of geographical indications, trademarks and trademarks of Sam Ngoc Linh, the police agency needs to set up special projects to investigate. handle violations of intellectual property, trade Ngoc Linh ginseng of unknown origin, Ngoc Linh ginseng does not guarantee quality.
Strengthening management of Ngoc Linh ginseng trading activities on social networks, through random inspection to take samples for verification, if found to be fake, strictly handle.
An advantage is that the province has invested more than 10 billion dong to purchase a system of machinery, equipment, tools, and chemicals to serve the assessment and testing of real and fake Ngoc Linh ginseng.
Up to now, the system of machinery and equipment has been fully equipped, and the technical staff has also mastered 2 technical processes of analysis and verification to distinguish real and fake Ngoc Linh ginseng.
What needs to be done is to organize widely information so that domestic and foreign businesses, organizations and individuals know that the province has equipped machinery and equipment and mastered the technical process; qualified and qualified to provide testing and inspection services to determine real or fake Ngoc Linh ginseng for all customers.
