According to Mr. Ha Trong Hai, Vice Chairman of the Lai Chau Provincial People's Committee, the province is actively attracting organizations, individuals, and cooperatives to invest in various sectors, particularly high-tech agriculture and tourism. At present, Lai Chau ginseng continues to be developed in areas with favorable climatic and soil conditions, such as Muong Te, Sin Ho, and Phong Tho districts.

Notably, in Pa Ha hamlet, Pa Ve Su commune (Muong Te district), over 20 hectares of Lai Chau ginseng have been cultivated using Japanese technical processes and technology. During a recent visit and working session with Lai Chau authorities, Mr. Kiyoshi Ueda, Japanese Senator, went to the ginseng cultivation area and expressed high appreciation for its quality and development. The project has been implemented by Pu Si Lung Ginseng Joint Stock Company since 2023, applying Japanese organic technology in every stage, from planting and care to seedling production and fertilizer use.

Thanks to the technical support and cultivation practices based on Japanese technology, the province hopes to bring Lai Chau ginseng to the Japanese market and other international destinations.

Pu Si Lung Ginseng Joint Stock Company also expressed its desire to continue cooperation with Japanese partners in technical guidance and experience sharing across all stages, including seed selection, seedling cultivation, substrate preparation, bed design, and organic fertilizer production. The ultimate goal is to deliver high-quality organic Lai Chau ginseng products to both domestic consumers and export markets.
