摘　　要：in recent years, there have been draniatic increases in the production of NorthAmerican ginseng around the tvorld. These increases and the expectation of their continuation havegiven rise to a need to critically evaluate all aspects of North American ginseng (Panar quinquefoliumL.) production. Employing a system approach, the production of North American ginseng can be di-vided into its principal components that include seed preparation and planting, growing environmentcreation and maintenance, plant health maintenance, harvest and post-harvest activities, and productprocessing. As competitive industry forces are beginning to result in increased global competition, itis prudent to carefully assess both the strengths and weaknesses of the North American ginseng pro-duction system. It is clear that the utilization of appropriate technology will be a key to future industrysuccesses and the continuity of successful economic development that is associated with the industry.It is recognized that careful technological choices and changes will be required to successfully facethe challenges of an ever increasingly competitive global ginseng marketplace.近年来，西洋参的生产量在世界上急剧增加，有必要对其进行全面评价。从系统性考虑，西洋参生产的主要要素包括种子的处理和种植、适宜生长环境的建立和保持。植株健壮的保持、收获和收获后处理以及生产工艺等环节。在增长的全球性竞争中，精明的做法是要对西洋参生产环节的强弱做精细的评估分析，显然，先进而且适宜技术的采用是关系到工业化生产是否成功和是否取得经济效益的关键。技术的精心选择和不断改进都是成功的面对不断增加竞争性的西洋参市场挑战所必需的。
