Ginseng (/ËdÊÉªnsÉÅ/) is any one of the 11 species of slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, belonging to the genus Panax of the family Araliaceae. Ginseng is found in North America and in eastern Asia (mostly northeast China, Korea, Bhutan, eastern Siberia), typically in cooler climates. Panax vietnamensis, discovered in Vietnam, is the southernmost ginseng known.
According to the Ontario Ginseng Growers Association, nearly all the ginseng in Canada is produced in Ontario, with more than 140 growers producing four million pounds (1.8 million kg) each year. Of this, 90 per cent is exported to Asia for commercial use.ouple this with the fact that there is no revenue for a minimum of three years, which is the time it takes to grow a single crop, and it becomes less economically feasible for most growers. American ginseng has a broad habitat, from North Eastern Ontario and Quebec south to Louisiana and Arkansas.
