Report Details
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) in Pennsylvania: Surveying wild supply chains and establishment of long-term monitoring plots.
American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is a Pennsylvania-listed (i.e., ‘vulnerable’) and internationally protected (under the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora or CITES) native forest plant that is exported for medicinal markets. The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR) is charged with conserving and managing this native forest resource and yet little information exists regarding ginseng supply chains within the state. This study utilized an experimental approach to gather information from within this niche industry by annually distributing a brief survey instrument over a three-year period (2012-2014) to root sellers. The primary purpose of this survey was to solicit information from sellers about the source of ginseng that they sold to licensed buyers in Pennsylvania.
