Lai Chau ginseng is a species with high economic value, the price increases with the size and weight of the tubers, depending on the shape and age of the tree. On average, Lai Chau ginseng has a selling price of VND 20-30 million/kg, and large tubers over 100g have a selling price of about VND 50-60 million.
The announcement of the Vietnam Institute of Medicinal Materials shows that Lai Chau ginseng, about 5 years old, has the highest saponin content, not only in the country but also in the world, especially the content of MR2 - an anti-cancer substance. As an endemic species, the application of science and technology to the cultivation, exploitation and processing of ginseng is not commensurate with its value and potential.
Currently, there are 3 main models of ginseng cultivation: high technology in modern greenhouses, and simple and semi-natural black net houses under the forest canopy. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages. With the modern greenhouse model, crops can be specialized in high-density cultivation, ensuring uniformity, easy planting, easy care and harvesting; but infrastructure investment costs are high, requiring large and flat premises. That is difficult at altitudes above 1,400 m, as well as when applying the models to farming households. A 10-year-old Lai Chau ginseng root can even be sold for hundreds of millions of VND.
The semi-natural model under the forest canopy has a low initial cost, suitable for farmers with available area. The disadvantage is that the management and protection face many difficulties; Plant density is not high, scattered in small numbers due to complicated topography. These easily lead to losses due to adverse environmental factors.
