With a high proportion of ethnic minorities such as the Bahnar and Gie Trieng peoples, it is at a turning point between traditional slash-and-burn agriculture and the cultivation of new commercial crops.<\/p>\n<p>Known as the native habitat of Ngoc Linh ginseng (Sam Ngoc Linh), a national project aiming at the commercial cultivation of this ultra-premium medicinal plant is underway.<\/p>\n<h2>Features of agriculture<\/h2>\n<p>Coffee and rubber cultivation are the mainstays, but the scale is smaller than in other Central Highlands provinces. The cultivation and research of Ngoc Linh ginseng (Vietnamese ginseng) draws the most attention, and high-altitude ginseng cultivation is being advanced around Mount Ngoc Linh (altitude 2,500 m). It is a province with great potential as a producing area for high-altitude vegetables and medicinal plants.<\/p>\n<h2>Main agricultural products<\/h2>\n<p>Coffee, rubber, Ngoc Linh ginseng (premium medicinal ginseng), cashew nuts, medicinal plants, high-altitude vegetables, cassava<\/p>\n<h2>Related Articles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/southeast-asia-coffee\/\">Comparing the coffee producing countries of Southeast Asia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-export-ranking\/\">Top 10 ranking of Vietnam's agricultural export value<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-fruit-season\/\">Complete guide to the seasonal calendar of Vietnamese fruit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-gap-certification\/\">The Complete Guide to Vietnam's Farm-Produce Quality-Control Standards<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Reference information and source links<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ja.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%A0%E7%9C%81\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia (Japanese) - Kon Tum Province<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gso.gov.vn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mard.gov.vn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vietnam Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ico.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Coffee Organization (ICO)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[21,1,96,93],"tags":[10,58,6,198],"crop_category":[267],"harvest_season":[257],"class_list":["post-978","region","type-region","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coffee","category-vietnam-agri","category-central-highlands","category-region-info","tag-coffee","tag-rubber","tag-vietnam","tag-ethnic-minority","crop_category-region-area","harvest_season-year-round"],"acf":{"region_name_vi":"Kon Tum","region_population":570000,"region_climate":"\u71b1\u5e2f\u9ad8\u539f\u6c17\u5019\u3002\u5e74\u9593\u5e73\u574722\u301c23\u2103\u3002\u30c1\u30e5\u30aa\u30f3\u30bd\u30f3\u5c71\u8108\u306e\u9ad8\u5730\u3067\u51b7\u6dbc\u3002"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region\/978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/region"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=978"},{"taxonomy":"crop_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/crop_category?post=978"},{"taxonomy":"harvest_season","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/harvest_season?post=978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
