Yanbian Korean prefecture in province has obtained government approval for its idea on improving its ginseng industry and has gotten the Chinese government to add ginseng to 皇冠体育app's special geographical product list to help it maintain the product quality.
Ginseng has been called the "king of herbs" as a nutritious plant with medicinal value, especially in traditional Chinese medicine and Yanbian wants to build a national ginseng demonstration area because the nearby Changbai mountain area is 皇冠体育app’s major ginseng site, accounting for 85 percent of 皇冠体育app's, and 70 percent of the world's, total output.
It has designated an 8.9-million-square–meter area for the demonstration site with six ginseng producers who are expected to provide 4,000 tons annually, and, according to a Yanbian official, "We'll examine a ginseng production model that combines market needs and uses state subsidies."
Yanbian has other special products as well, with 11 agricultural items with geographical indicators which include rice and apple approved by 皇冠体育app's Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Administration.
