First, the origin of safflower
Carthamus tinctorius is native to Europe and Central Asia. Safflower is mainly produced in Xinjiang, Yunnan, Gansu, Henan, Hunan, Sichuan, Xizang and other places.
II. Situation of safflower producing areas in China
The largest producing area is Xinjiang: after more than 20 years of development, Xinjiang has developed into the largest producing area of safflower in China. At the peak around 2010, the planting area of safflower in Xinjiang reached more than 700,000 mu. After the adjustment and reduction, the share of production capacity will still reach more than 75% by 2016, and the output will be more than 4500 tons.
The second largest producing area is Yunnan, where the new birth period is the earliest and can be picked around March every year. It is mainly concentrated in Yongsheng County of Lijiang; Weishan Yi Hui Autonomous County, Binchuan County and Midu County of Dali Autonomous Prefecture; Lushui County of Nujiang Autonomous Prefecture; Zhenkang County of Lincang City; and Chuxiong City, with an output of 800-900 tons in 2016.
The third producing area is located in Guazhou, around Huahai Town, Yumen, Gansu Province: the local safflower production in 2016 was about 500 tons. But the flowers are broken and dark in color.
Scattered producing areas include Sichuan safflower producing areas in Sichuan, located in Nanchong, Bazhong and other places, as well as Ningxia, Henan and Anhui provinces. At present, these mainland producing areas have basically disappeared due to the lack of competitiveness in production, land and labor costs.
