A delegation from the Agriculture and Environment Magazine, together with scientists and experts, conducted a field survey on July 11 of a medicinal herb cultivation model linked to agricultural tourism in Nam Tam commune, Lai Chau province, as part of the seminar "Developing medicinal herb areas under forest canopies in association with agricultural tourism."
The delegation included Dr. Dao Xuan Hung, Editor-in-Chief of the Agriculture and Environment Magazine; Associate Professor Dr. Pham Anh Tuan, former Director of the Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Post-Harvest Technology; Vu Minh Ly, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Agriculture and Environment Magazine; officials from agencies under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment; scientists; Pham Trung Tinh, Head of the Lai Chau Forest Protection Sub-Department; leaders of the Nam Tam Commune People's Committee; and local Youth Union members
The medicinal herb cultivation model, integrated with agricultural tourism, is part of a value-chain model developed by Tri Duc LC Co., Ltd. in Na Tam 3 Village, Nam Tam Commune, Lai Chau Province. With the company's support in seedling supply, financing and cultivation techniques, local farmer Sung A Chu and his wife expanded cultivation to about one hectare beneath the forest canopy. The farm grows high-value medicinal plants including Lai Chau ginseng, notoginseng (Panax notoginseng), Paris polyphylla, mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus), Stemona tuberosa, and red fo-ti (Fallopia multiflora).
The model has helped increase household incomes through stable market demand and the intercropping of medicinal plants beneath perennial industrial crops. It has also contributed to poverty reduction while creating new opportunities for agricultural tourism in the local community.
