plants grown under the forest canopy are mainly high-value species, which have
a large market for consumption such as Ganoderma lucidum, Panax ginseng, yam

700,000 VND to 1 million VND; fresh yam cost about 50,000 VND to 100,000 VND/kg
depending on the season; 1kg of fresh ginseng root costs from 300 thousand VND
