(HBO) – After two years of implementation, the medicinal plant cultivation model in Da Bac district’s Yen Hoa commune has brought about practical economic outcomes. With its potential, the model is planned to be replicated in the coming time.


The model of growing organic medicinal plants in Yen Hoa commune (Da Bac) initially bring about practical results.

Realising such benefits, locals have so far created favourable conditions for the cooperative to lease over 11 hectares of land to expand its cultivation area. The cooperative creates regular jobs for 14 local workers, with an average income of 5 – 6 million VND per person per month.

Determining that developing sustainable agriculture requires organic production, right from the beginning, the cooperative has cultivated its medicinal plant garden completely without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Instead, organic fertilizers and herbal pesticides have been ultilised.

Luong Van Xung, Chairman of the Yen Hoa People's Committee, said medicinal plants are suitable for local soil conditions. In addition to the leased land, there are many areas potential for further cultivation expansion. He also pledged the local authorities’ support for businesses to invest in new models serving socio-economic development.

In the coming time, Da Bac aims to expand its areas for organic medicinal plants to 25 – 30ha by 2025. For the target, the district will build mechanisms and issue policies to attract resources from organisations and individuals for the development of the plantations and processing technologies. The cultivation of native medicinal plants is encouraged./.
