Việt Nam is recognised for its diverse medicinal plant resources, with over 5,100 species, offering great potential in developing medicinal plants into a significant economic sector. Hà Nội is one of the localities with a large, rich and diverse medicinal plant resource base. Therefore, Hà Nội aims to develop specialised cultivation areas for medicinal plants and establish production, preservation and processing chains, gradually making medicinal plants a major crop, it said. In addition to traditional medicinal plants, Sóc Sơn District has also introduced new medicinal plant varieties, such as burdock (Arctium lappa Linn) from Japan. Additionally, it included converting less productive land to medicinal plant cultivation with the goal of gradually making medicinal plants a major crop in Hà Nội, he said.
