With nearly 1,800 hectares of Ngoc Linh ginseng planted in the two districts of Tu Mo Rong and Dak Glei, Kon Tum currently has the largest area of ​​Ngoc Linh ginseng in the country. Each year, Kon Tum has the capacity to supply more than 1 million seedlings to the people.

Currently, the majority of Ngoc Linh ginseng harvested and sold on the market is naturally grown on the mountains. Therefore, conservation efforts face many difficulties.
