Chinese Medicinal Herbs: A Unique Opportunity for Farmers

Chinese medicinal herbs are steadily becoming an emerging market, with an insufficient number of growers to satiate the demand for these high-value botanicals. Compelling environmental problems, and the over-harvesting of wild herbs to the brink of extinction in Asia, are amplifying the call for more farmers to become involved in this market. The speakers will discuss what makes this market different, and the unique skills and processes required to succeed.
