As one of the first households growing Ngoc Linh ginseng in Rang Chuoi area, Ms. Vu Thi Hong Vien (born in 1985, village 2, Tra Tap commune) currently has a regular income from ginseng. Since 2016, discovering that the Tra Tap highland area has favorable weather and terrain for Ngoc Linh ginseng to grow, Ms. Vien and her husband, along with a number of local people, have begun experimental planting.
“When we first heard that Ngoc Linh ginseng could be grown in village 1, my husband and I were so excited that we walked for more than half a day to get there. Then we learned how to grow ginseng in Tra Linh, prepare the soil, select rocks, put in compost... Now when we need money, we have leaves, tubers or seeds to sell. My husband and I have also just sown seeds again, and have more than 1,000 ginseng plants that are 2-3 years old. Everyone in this commune is learning to grow them,” said Ms. Vien.
With experience growing ginseng in Tra Linh commune in 2014, 2015, in 2016, Ms. Nguyen Thi Vut (born in 1985, village 1, Tra Tap commune) brought Ngoc Linh ginseng from a neighboring commune to Tra Tap to grow. "At first, I was afraid that the land and climate would not meet the standard conditions for growing ginseng. But now that I can sell it little by little, I feel secure. Without this ginseng, I don't know how I would be able to raise my two children to study in the city," Ms. Vut said.
According to Ms. Vut, her family used to be poor, raising livestock and growing crops but not enough to cover their living expenses. Since growing and selling Ngoc Linh ginseng, she and her husband have been able to ensure spending more than 10 million VND/month for their 2 children to study at university in the lowlands and for the family of 3 to live stably in the mountains.
