The AGF is sponsoring these workshops and it is funded by a grant from the Educational Foundation of America. ASPI is dedicated to making science and technology responsive to the needs of low-income people in Central Appalachia. Ginseng Training Workshops Mature Ginseng is a profitable crop with an ever broadening market. For centuries, Ginseng has been harvested wild from Appalachia and other regions of the Eastern United States and Canada.
Wild ginseng is threatened from over-harvesting.
Cultivated ginseng is of lesser market value. Call ASPI for more information on these workshops. To learn more about ginseng see our Technical paper 57 Moratorium on Wild American Ginseng Exports .
