    Fake 'wild ginseng' appraisal certificates proliferate; garden ginseng passed off as forest-grown ginseng

    In 2020, media exposed that at the Jilin Tonghua ginseng market, fake appraisal certificates for 'wild ginseng' and 'mountain ginseng' could be obtained for cultivated garden ginseng for as little as RMB 1; purported appraisal bodies such as the 'China Ginseng and Deer Antler Research Institute' could not be found in registry, and a counterfeiting site had been investigated. In 2024, the Jilin Provincial Market Regulation Department carried out a ginseng market rectification campaign, cracking down on garden ginseng passed off as forest-grown ginseng, low-year ginseng passed off as high-year ginseng, spliced ginseng, and false appraisal, and cleared nearly 10,000 fake certificates. Special rectification campaign; fake certificates cleared.
