price of 35,000 VND per kilogramme, bringing about 400 million VND in revenue
for local farmers.
As an important medicinal plant, solanum is said to be among the best solutions
to detoxifying liver; lowering liver enzyme levels; supporting to treat
Hepatitis B, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia and cirrhosis; easing gout pain;
treating rashes caused by liver failure; treating rheumatism, backache and
cough due to sore throat.
With support from scientists and competent agencies in the district and
province, Bao Hieu cooperative has applied the Good Agricultural and Collection
Practices (GACP) standards into cultivation, harvest, transport, processing,
packaging and preservation.
