The Vietnam - Korea Institute of Science and Technology (VKIST) recently held a conference on the quality standards of ginseng medicinal herbs and health products from ginseng, focusing on the unique Vietnamese ginseng. This rare medicinal herb, included in Vietnam's national product list since 2017, has been shown to have significant health benefits. However, to compete globally, it needs modern and reliable quality standards. The industry faces challenges such as lack of advanced research and standardized cultivation techniques. Experts recommend cooperation between scientists, farmers, and the government, and the protection of genetic resources for the development of Vietnamese ginseng. They also suggest preserving the original genes and avoiding cross-breeding to establish Vietnamese ginseng as a renowned brand.
