Lao Cai sets sights on boosting medicinal herb sector
The mountainous northern province of Lao Cai hopes to almost double its medicinal herb growing area in the next 10 years, expecting to achieve a yearly output of more than 11,000 tonnes.
With a rich and diverse medicinal herb resource base, Hanoi is focusing on developing specialised cultivation areas and establishing production, preservation, and processing chains, aiming to make medicinal herbs a key crop.
