In recent years, people in the province have promoted the exploitation of potential and advantages to grow and process medicinal plants. In particular, from traditional medicine recipes, some cooperatives have produced OCOP products with 3 to 4 star certification. Thereby helping people increase their income, contributing to the socio-economic development of the locality.
People in Group 9, Thong Nhat Ward (Hoa Binh City) develop the traditional herbal medicine profession of the Dao ethnic group, bringing in a stable income.
With a natural area of 4,600 km2 and a typical climate of the tropical monsoon region, Hoa Binh has quite favorable conditions for growing medicinal plants. Especially the potential for forming concentrated medicinal plant production areas and preserving, exploiting and developing valuable, rare natural medicinal plants. According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the whole province has over 2,300 hectares of medicinal and aromatic plants planted and exploited annually. Plants with large areas and yields include: lemongrass 1,600 hectares; Solanum procumbens 379 hectares; and black xạ over 288 hectares. In addition, there are other plants such as: red turmeric, yellow turmeric, mugwort, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, Codonopsis pilosula, Basil, Polyscias fruticosa, Cat's claw, and Gipaya with a planting area of less than 50 hectares. Medicinal plants are also grown under the forest canopy, with an area of about 65 hectares.
Implementing Decision No. 1893/QD-TTg, dated December 25, 2019 of the Prime Minister (on the Program for developing traditional medicine and pharmacy, combining traditional medicine and pharmacy with modern medicine and pharmacy until 2030), has created new developments in the development of medicinal plants in localities in the province. In particular, in implementing the One Commune One Product (OCOP) Program, medicinal plants are a group of products with very good development potential. In particular, a number of cooperatives have produced OCOP products with 3 to 4 star certification. Typically, such as: Yen Thuy Solanum procumbens extract of Bao Hieu Agricultural and Forestry Cooperative; Black-bone extract of Yen Tri Agricultural Cooperative (Yen Thuy); Black-bone extract and Solanum procumbens extract of Tuyet Nhi Cooperative (Luong Son); An Phe Trieu Gia of Trieu Gia Traditional Medicine Cooperative (Kim Boi); An Phuc Khop of H20 Vietnam Cooperative or lemongrass essential oil product of Dao Thong Nhat Traditional Medicine Cooperative (Hoa Binh City).
Dong Chua Hamlet, now Group 9, Thong Nhat Ward (Hoa Binh City) is home to nearly 200 Dao ethnic households. Over the years, people here have grown medicinal plants, preserved and developed the traditional herbal medicine profession. Currently, there are about 100 households in Group 9 practicing herbal medicine. In 2020, the Hoa Binh Dao ethnic herbal medicine cooperative, Thong Nhat Ward was established. Up to now, the cooperative has operated effectively, providing the market with many valuable medicinal recipes. Mr. Ban Sinh Luong, Group 9 said: Thanks to making herbal medicine, many households in the group have a stable income. In addition to traditional herbal medicine products, the cooperative invests in machinery and extracts products suitable for market demand.
According to the assessment of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, although there is a specific plan for each locality, in the production process, the scale of medicinal plant area is still greatly affected by market demand. In addition, searching and exploiting in traditional ways is still popular in localities, while the number of medicinal plants in nature is increasingly depleted. In order to effectively develop medicinal plants, Hoa Binh province has proposed key solutions. In particular, focusing on reviewing and clearly defining medicinal plant growing areas according to soil and climate conditions of each locality. Encouraging the development of medicinal plant growing models under forest canopy to protect forest resources and develop sustainable economy.
In addition, promote cooperation between people, cooperatives and enterprises to form a sustainable medicinal value chain. Encourage contracts for product consumption, limit spontaneous and fragmented production. In addition, support production facilities to invest in modern processing technology, ensuring that products meet food hygiene and safety standards and are eligible for export. Further promote activities to promote Hoa Binh medicinal products; develop preferential policies to support enterprises to invest in high-tech production and processing of medicinal materials.
