(HBO) – Hoa Binh province is embarking on a project on zoning off areas for medicinal plants, with priority given to the development of medicinal species with great competitive edges thanks to adaptation to cool climate, gradually meeting domestic demand and exports.
The sachi tree growing
project – a joint work between Inca Vietnam JSC and farmers in 10 provinces and
city – is lauded for its higher economic efficiency than other plants. The company’s
material area has covered 100ha, including 50ha currently under harvest. As a
plant with many uses, sachi has contributed to creating jobs and increasing
rural workers’ income.

Under a master plan on
medicinal plants till 2025, 24 species of the locality’s strength will be grown
on a site of 2,815ha, costing more than 1.2 trillion VND. Of which, over 415
billion VND will be from the State budget and the remaining from businesses and
people. The capital will help upgrade infrastructure, adopt technological
advances, agricultural encouragement, training, cultivation, trade promotion
and manage the quality of material areas.
Once the master plan is
launched, it is expected that medicine supply to the market will increase by
10-12 times from the current volume, thus meeting demand for medicines and
improving consumers’ health. Nearly 16,000 regular jobs are expected to be created
in the locality, contributing to improving local lives in zoned-off areas.
The stable and long-term
development of medicinal plant areas will help improve economic value on cultivated
area, creating more jobs and improving workers’ income as well as protecting
health of producers, consumers and ecological environment./.
