Jin Byeong-yeong, Hamyang County Governor, Conducts On-site Inspection of Wild Ginseng Production Pilot Complex

Inspection of SanYangSam Management and Survival Status

Urging Best Efforts for Registration of ‘Hamyang SanYangSam’ Seeds

Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, conducted an on-site inspection of the wild ginseng production pilot complex located in Wolpyeong-ri, Hucheon-myeon, on the 17th.

On this day, County Governor Jin Byeong-yeong and about 10 employees from the Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Department participated to check the management status and growth condition of the wild ginseng.

The wild ginseng production pilot complex was established in 2013 in Wolpyeong-ri, Hucheon-myeon, Hamyang-gun, in cooperation with the Western Regional Forest Service as part of the ‘Sambongsan Ecological Mountain Herbal Complex Joint Forest Project’ on a 22-hectare site, marking its 10th year this year.

Jin Byeong-yeong, the governor of Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, is inspecting the growth status of the wild ginseng production pilot complex.

Since 2014, the county has been sowing and managing 1,733 kg of wild ginseng seeds and planting 4,400 four-year-old seedlings on 6.8 hectares of the site until 2022.

During the inspection, Governor Jin checked the overall management status, including pruning management in 25 zones divided by sowing year and the survival status of the wild ginseng, and urged to do their best in management to contribute to enhancing Hamyang-gun’s wild ginseng brand through supplying excellent seeds and seedlings and utilizing the farmers’ education center.

Governor Jin said, “Please do your best to manage so that by 2030, third-generation pure Hamyang wild ginseng seeds can be harvested and registered as ‘Hamyang-branded seeds,’” and added, “Please encourage the temporary workers working at the pilot complex and thoroughly ensure safety management.”

Meanwhile, since 2004, Hamyang-gun has specialized in wild ginseng to increase residents’ income by differentiating cultivation and management from other regions through altitude restrictions of over 500m for wild ginseng cultivation, wild ginseng guardians, and production tracking systems, producing premium wild ginseng.
