The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is to hold a public meeting to examine the latest research on American ginseng.

The meeting, to be held on February 24 in Bristol, VA, will also provide anyone interested in the conservation, harvest and trade of ginseng with a summary of the regulatory framework for the export of American ginseng and the regulations that control its international trade.

In 2006, FWS issued new rules for size and age requirements of wild American ginseng (click here to read an article from the American Botanical Council). It is not clear at this stage if the forthcoming meeting will lead to possible new rulemaking.
