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./.
