According to Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long, medicinal herbs have a very multi-disciplinary and multi-field meaning. We grow medicinal herbs, we have medicinal herbs, we develop resources for medicine, then develop this industry; at the same time, we create conditions for farmers, especially in the highlands. That way, we develop both medicine and agriculture.
