In the Chinese province of Jilin in the north-east of the country, the total value of ginseng produced in 2024 reached 80 billion yuan (about US$11,9 billion). This is reported by Northeast Asia Today, a partner of TV BRICS.

“At present, 10 industrial parks for ginseng cultivation have been established in Jilin province,” the report says.

The region has also built 4 specialised markets to sell the produce.

Ginseng is a perennial herbaceous plant whose root is used in medicine for its medicinal properties. It is used to strengthen immunity, reduce stress, and improve general well-being.
