Accordingly, the Prime Minister June 5 signed a decision to recognize the ginseng as the national product.
Ginseng was first found on Ngoc Linh Mountain on the border between the Central Highlands Kon Tum Province and Quang Nam in the late 1960s. Since then, the two provinces have cooperated to preserve and grow the precious tree. Quang Nam province has 15,000 hectares of land for growing the ginseng.
