The mountainous region of Sa Pa ∈ northern
Vietnam is an invaluable storehouse of medicinal
plants — many of which have been used for centuries
by the local population. Sa Pa Essentials was
[5] established to protect these species from the increasing
threat of over-harvesting while at the same time boosting
incomes and improving lives within the community.
Having identified active ingredients through
traditional knowledge as well as scientific testing, Sa
[10] Pa Essentials encourages sustainable cultivation of
medicinal species. It then extracts, processes and
markets essential oils from the plants, ensuring at every
stage that the communities’ intellectual property rights
are respected.
[15] Do Thi Thu Ha, Director of Sa Pa Essentials, said
that products processed from herbs are brand new ones
which have never existed ∈ the market before. The
company’s herbal products are available ∈New Zealand,
Japan and the Republic of Korea, not ∈Vietnam. The
[20] price for an essential oil vial is around $8 abroad.
However, Ha said that these products will soon be sold
∈Hanoi and ∈Sa Pa town.
