Empowering Sa Pa Communities through Sustainable Bathing Herb Production

In January 2011, a group meeting in Ta Chai village, Sa Pa district, led by young villager Ly Lao Lo, initiated a livelihood sub-project focusing on the production of bathing herbs. With 15 households participating, they established a 200 ha plantation area for these herbs, fostering sustainable forest exploitation. The project extracted over 20 special herbal trees using traditional Dao formulas, with products gaining popularity beyond the province. By 2012, the group's annual revenue reached approximately 700 USD per household, significantly elevating local incomes and confidence.
