Before it was discovered by scientists, Ngoc Linh ginseng had been growing quietly in the wilderness of an old forest
on Ngoc Linh mountain, located between the two provinces of Kon Tum and Quang Nam It wasn't until 1973, when
the Central Region Health Agency sent a team of 4 of pharmacists led by Dao Kim Long to Ngoc Linh mountain to
search for herbal medicine that this precious species of ginseng was discovered
According to Dao Kim Long, after many days of walking in the forest, at 9:00 am on March 19 1973, at an altitude of
1,800m, the team discovered the first two ginseng plants That same afternoon, they discovered a dense carpet of the
same ginseng, almost purebred, growing healthily and blooming with fragrant flowers by the bank of a stream After
confirming that this was a new and extremely rare ginseng species that had never before been seen anywhere else in the
world, Dao Kim Long gave it the scientific name, panax articulatus KL Dao, or Ngoc Linh ginseng as it is often
referred to by the people
After discovering the new ginseng, the Party Committee of Zone 5 directed the Civil Medicine Committee to secretly
protect and put the plants to good use The harvested ginseng then was sent to the Central Pharmaceutical Factory to
process and make medicines, and also was sampled and sent to the Hanoi Institute of Medicine at the Ministry of
Health, for research purposes
Since 1973, domestic and international scientists have done much research and discovered that Ngoc Linh ginseng's
stems and roots contain a high rate of saponin compound, much higher than other ginseng species Ngoc Linh ginseng
also has preeminent features that Korean and Chinese ginseng do not have These include important benefits like,
antibacterial, anti-depressants, anxiety-reduction, anti-oxidants, and can boost the effects of antibiotics and diabetes
medicines
Besides having scientific and medicinal value, Ngoc Linh ginseng also has high economic value It is estimated that for
an investment of about 3 billion dong to grow 1 hectare of ginseng, revenue after 5 years can reach 30
billion dong (about more than 1.3 million US dollars) However, growing Ngoc Linh ginseng tsn’t an easy feat because
the plant can only grow and produce quality ginseng in climatic and soil conditions at an altitude of 1,200-2,000m on
the mountain of Ngoc Linh That’s why the mountain is considered the “holy land” of the precious ginseng
In 2018, then Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc (now President) visited the Ngoc Linh ginseng growing area of Ngoc
Linh Kon Tum Ginseng JSC Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc conferred the title of “Vietnam's national treasure” for
Ngoc Linh ginseng
After more than 20 years of breeding and developing Ngoc Linh ginseng, the enterprise has now cultivated a large
ginseng growing area on Ngoc Linh mountain, of where more than 200ha is growing ginseng that is more than 10 years
old and ready for use In 2018, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc visited this area and highly appreciated the
business's preservation and development work, as well as forest protection
Ngoc Linh Kon Tum Ginseng JSC is also a pioneer in manufacturing high-end products from Ngoc Linh ginseng
Applying modern technology, the enterprise has researched and created quality products such as: ginseng wine, Ngoc
Linh ginseng extract, Ngoc Linh ginseng tea, Ngoc Linh ginseng soaked in honey, and other types of energy-boosters
and skin-nourishing drinks All are made from quality Ngoc Linh ginseng that is more than 10 years old
The fact that the head of the government chose to visit Ngoc Linh ginseng area showed great expectations from the
country’s leaders for the potential of this precious medicinal plant as not only a “livelihood securer” to the people but
also a driving force to help Vietnam develop a world-class pharmaceutical and supplement industry
In order for the “national treasure’ Ngoc Linh ginseng to become a “livelihood securer” and a billion-dollar export
industry in the coming decades, it requires effective strategy from local leaders as well as ginseng farmers and
producers in Kon Tum, Quang Nam, and the sooner the better Even South Korea and North Korea, countries with a
1,500-year history of exporting ginseng, had to work hard for a long time before getting where they are today
