So in recent years, many farmers are trying to grow Chinese herbal medicines, and they all want to get good benefits from them. However, planting is bound to be risky and market fluctuations will always exist. There are many lucky elements in high returns and many losses.
As a kind of agricultural products, Chinese herbal medicines are usually planted by local people, so they will follow suit. If the output is large, it will attract merchants to buy, and there is a feeling of holding a group to keep warm. However, this method is also prone to a pattern of one glory and one loss. When the overall capacity of the cultivated medicinal materials is overcapacity and the market is depressed, no grower is innocent. Such as gardenia, raspberry, notoginseng, clover and so on. , has been planted on a large scale, and the market has been in a downturn for many years. Until recently, the market of gardenia improved, but it still did not meet the expectations of growers.
Gardenia, also known as Gardenia, Gardenia and so on. It is often regarded as a green gardenia with white flowers. A poem "Gardenia Blossoms" once left a little impression on people. Gardenia flower is used as medicine in its fruit, but few people usually pay attention to it, because even if it is used as medicine, it rarely appears in the form of gardenia fruit, only some substances are processed and extracted, so many people have heard of its name, but have never seen the fruit, even gardenia flower.
Gardenia has strong adaptability and can grow in many southern provinces. At present, the main planting areas are Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Sichuan. The former two areas are large and have formed a relatively complete industrial chain. Every year, merchants come to buy, and growers are basically worried about sales, but the price is a long story.
Because gardenia is used as medicine, it has certain storage resistance, and the market is often affected by inventory and new season output. So when the market is bad, but they don't want to sell, some growers will choose to save it and wait for the opportunity to sell it. This is the advantage of gardenia, but also a helpless practice.
Now it is 1 1 year away from the high price of 2 1 yuan per catty (dried products). Although the market fluctuated constantly during this period, the price of gardenia in the first three years (20 18, 20 19, 2020) has been around 5% per catty.
Until this year, the price of gardenia began to rise, and the price of dried products exceeded 10 yuan/kg. Now the purchase price of fresh fruit has reached 2.7 yuan, with an increase of nearly 70%. The price increase is based on the continuous low price. Many growers are negligent in management and extreme weather, resulting in reduced production and reduced supply of new goods, which makes the stock goods well digested. Now there are fewer goods in stock, and vendors are actively buying them. Unfortunately, the output of gardenia has also decreased this year. Due to the cold spring at the beginning of the year, the output of gardenia in Fujian, Jiangxi and other places is lower than last year, and the output of some orchards is only 20% of that in previous years.
Now the purchase price of gardenia has gone up, but it has not aroused the enthusiasm of growers to plant and harvest, even if they have goods, they don't want to sell them. The problem is that the output is too low and the harvest is not much. After deducting the picking salary, the income is pitiful. There are still many growers who have no expectations of gardenia and turn to develop other crops and shift their focus. Now gardenia has developed into this way, which is far from the original imagination of many plants. After all, it will take five or six years to harvest, and the current price is still very low in their view, so they can understand without enthusiasm.
