The planting technology of traditional Chinese medicine is very important, what kind of medicine to make money?

The cultivation of medicinal materials is the most profitable, but many farmers do not understand the ways, methods and situation of growing medicinal materials, thinking that expensive and rare medicinal materials will certainly make money, NO! NO! NO! There are risks in growing medicinal materials, and it is important to adjust measures to local conditions and market trends, so what kind of medicinal materials can make money?

Authentic medicinal materials are king.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a special agricultural product, which has obvious regional characteristics and is authentic since ancient times. With the implementation of the New Pharmacopoeia in 2015, the issue of content has been raised to an unprecedented height. It is a major trend to respect tradition and grow authentic local traditional Chinese medicine. Do not blindly collect wild medicine varieties for planting. The content of seeds planted in wild Atractylodes macrocephala with cinnabar spots is well known. Growers are advised not to blindly buy seeds or seedlings of wild varieties at high prices, let alone blindly plant southern medicine to the north and move northern medicine to the south by price and other factors.

To choose local authentic medicinal materials, such medicinal materials are very popular with pharmaceutical companies, easy to sell, and the price is better. Such as the four Huai medicine, Bozhou Atractylodes macrocephala, peony, peony, Henan Nanyang Cornus officinalis, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Heze peony, Shangdang Codonopsis pilosula. Yunnan chooses Dianhuangjing, Dianzhonglou, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, Angelica sinensis and so on.

Second, plant large quantities of medicinal materials, not unpopular medicinal materials

1. Do not grow unpopular medicinal materials

Large amounts of medicinal materials are mostly used in general prescriptions, such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Codonopsis pilosula, Bupleurum, Platycodon grandiflorum, Fangfeng, Yuanzhi, Scutellaria baicalensis, Pinellia ternata, Fuzi and other varieties. Sometimes the prices of these varieties are not too high, but they sell well all the time and generally do not have a backlog. Be careful to plant rare, strange and expensive varieties.

two。 Commonly used 40 varieties of traditional Chinese medicine

Ginseng (including ginseng), Radix Astragali, Fritillaria, Yuanhu, Platycodon grandiflorum, bezoar, Coptis chinensis, Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Rhizoma Atractylodis, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, Ophiopogon, honeysuckle, Chrysanthemum, Xiangfu, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Eucommia ulmoides, Magnolia, Lianzhao, Wood incense, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia, antelope horn, bear bile, cinnabar, wolfberry, Piper longum, rest incense, Storesin, Sophora flavescens, jade fruit, Baiqian, Morinda officinalis, Tiannanxing, Jingzi, Trichosanthes, bergamot tablets, Cistanche deserticola.

3. Select varieties according to local conditions

The cultivation of medicinal materials has high requirements on soil and climate, so we should choose our own land, and the climate is suitable for planting.

1. Sandy loam with good drainage and rich humus

It's a favorite of most medicinal herbs.

two。 barren hill

Can plant dandelion, wild chrysanthemum, Scutellaria baicalensis, Fangfeng, Polygala, Cornus officinalis, forsythia, sour jujube, honeysuckle, Chuanshanlong and other varieties with strong vitality.

3. Mild saline-alkali sandy land

Can be planted dried, honeysuckle, Sophora flavescens, sour jujube, burdock, Anemarrhena, licorice and so on.

4. Slightly sour sandy land

Can plant Fritillaria, Radix Astragali, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Atractylodes macrocephala, lily, peony, Aster, safflower and so on.

5. Arid zone

The main suitable varieties are: Bupleurum, Polygala, Shegan, Chinese wolfberry and so on.

6. Clay block

We should avoid rhizomes and choose whole herbs or fruit seeds such as Schizonepeta tenuifolia, Trichosanthes kirilowii, Coix seed, peppermint, patchouli, perilla, cassia seed and so on.

7. Less light, less shade, more moist ground.

Can plant Artemisia angustifolia, Radix Pseudostellariae, Baibu, Angelica, Codonopsis pilosula, Di Ding, Scutellaria barbata, Fritillaria thunbergii and so on.

8. Barren land

Suitable varieties are: Solanum nigrum, cassia seed and so on.

9. suit one's measures to local conditions

For example, Radix Astragali can only be planted in the north of the Yellow River and in the south of the Yellow River, which seriously affects the quality of Radix Astragali. Saffron propagates with bulbs, only more than 10 grams of bulbs can blossom, but less than 8 grams generally do not blossom. When planted in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, larger bulbs can be reproduced every year and more flowers can be harvested.

In the northwest, North China and Northeast China, open field cultivation can not grow normally because of the low temperature, so it must be in the greenhouse or protected field to survive the winter, and the flower yield is very low, and the bulbs are getting smaller and smaller, so the benefit is very poor. It is basically not feasible to grow saffron in the north. American ginseng, ginseng and rhubarb must be planted in cold areas with low temperatures in winter in order to grow and develop normally.

Gastrodia elata, Panax notoginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, saffron, Luohanguo and other varieties, although the price is expensive, but the climate, soil requirements are more strict, the conditions are not suitable to waste time and energy.

4. Select varieties according to your ability

1. Beginners choose a large number of varieties that are easy to manage.

The layman's impression is that the profit of a kind of medicine is big, the investment is also big, and the risk is also great. In fact, there are herbs called herbs, as the name implies, plants that can grow like grass, such as plantain, motherwort, alternanthera philoxeroides, wormwood, Solanum nigrum, snake seed, purslane and so on. People who do not know this kind of medicinal materials are collectively referred to as "grass". If they have no planting experience, they can choose low-cost land and plant bulk herbs with strong vitality and easy management. although the price of this kind of medicinal materials is lower, the success rate is higher. However, pay attention to the selection of small varieties, because the amount of small varieties is small, the market capacity is small, and the market fluctuation is large.

two。 Those with experience can choose rhizome varieties with slightly more complicated management.

Input and output are usually proportional to output. If you have some planting experience, you can choose varieties with larger investment and more complicated management, such as Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz and Pinellia ternata. Because of the high threshold of planting and processing, the planting area is limited, the price is high and stable, and the income is considerable.

3. Those with generous funds should plant varieties with a longer growth cycle.

The growth cycle of Shegan, Scutellaria baicalensis, Bupleurum, Yuanzhi and Radix Paeoniae Rubra is more than two years, Baiji and Rhizoma Polygonatum is about 3 years, and Zhonglou is about 8 years. Because of the long capital recovery cycle, many retail investors are unwilling to plant, so the output is stable and the price is stable.

5. Planting cost

The planting cost of Chinese herbal medicine is composed of seed and seedling fee, fertilizer fee, agricultural medicine fee, management fee and so on. The cost of seeds and seedlings is a factor to be carefully considered. The price of seeds and seedlings varies greatly from year to year. The change of seed price is basically parallel to the price of Chinese herbal medicine, but lags behind slightly. Generally, seeds are harvested before Chinese herbal medicine. If the new price of Chinese herbal medicine is good, the price of seeds will rise rapidly. Because people see that the income of Chinese herbal medicine is good, they all want to plant it the next year, so they buy provenances one after another. The time difference is ten or twenty days short and a few months long. Therefore, to be optimistic about a certain Chinese herbal medicine needs to be developed and planted, and the provenance must be purchased as soon as possible. In some years, if there is a year when the cost of planting fresh bulbs is nearly RMB per hectare, you must be cautious when you want to grow Yuanhu. The price of seeds and seedlings is very high, which indicates that the planting area of the whole country is very large, and the price of Chinese herbal medicine may plummet.

VI. Income from planting

This is the primary concern for the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine. There are many factors affecting the income of planting Chinese herbal medicine, and the main objective factors are: planting cost, provenance, cultivation technology and market price.

The quality of cultivation techniques directly affects the yield and quality of Chinese herbal medicine. Under the same conditions, some people grow Radix Isatidis with a yield of 6000 kg per hectare, while some have only more than 1500 kg. The former has a net income of more than 15000 yuan per hectare, while the latter has to lose money. This truth is very simple, so I will not repeat it here.

VII. Sales

If there is no place to sell and grow Chinese herbal medicine, there will be no benefit, so before planting, it depends on whether there is a sales channel and whether it can be sold.

8. A variety cannot be planted year after year without change.

Adjust the varieties of Chinese herbal medicine planted in each year according to the situation of production and market. It is difficult to predict the changing trend of the price of each kind of Chinese herbal medicine. when selecting planting varieties, unless there is a good assurance, diversified planting should be carried out, that is, 2-5 varieties, 1-3 main varieties, and other varieties can be selected to breed provenances. When the opportunity is good, the area can be expanded in time. In this way, the risk of all losses can be avoided, and the varieties planted can be adjusted in time. At the same time, the combination of long and short, in order to grow in short, that is, to plant annual and perennial varieties at the same time. In general, the benefit of perennial Chinese herbal medicine varieties is better, and the price is relatively stable, while that of annual varieties is relatively poor, and the price changes quickly.

9. Preliminary understanding of the changing trend of the prices of different types of Chinese herbal medicine

The planting varieties were selected according to the changing characteristics. According to the analysis of historical data, the price changes of some Chinese herbal medicines have shown a certain trend over the years, such as ginseng, Radix Pseudostellariae, Coptis chinensis, Angelica sinensis, Ophiopogon japonicus, safflower, Cornus officinalis, Gastrodia elata, lily, Chinese wolfberry and other Chinese herbal medicines, which have been artificially cultivated for decades or even more than a century. Their prices fluctuate periodically. Two important factors affecting the fluctuation cycle are the harvest years of Chinese herbal medicine and the difficulty and speed of production recovery. If the ginseng is harvested in 5 to 6 years, the price will fall from the year when the price reaches its peak to the year of harvest. The price change period of Gastrodia elata is 3-5 years, and that of Safflower Pseudostellaria is 2-3 years.

For these Chinese herbal medicines, when the price falls to a low ebb or is developed and planted in the following 1-2 years, the higher price can be caught up with the harvest. It is not suitable to plant when the price is very high, otherwise the harvest will coincide with the time when the price is lower.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a special commodity in our country. Some people have become rich by planting medicinal materials, while others have lost all their money. The reasons are as follows:

1. Selection of species

Do not plant high-priced and cost-effective medicinal materials without certain planting experience, and do not blindly follow the trend. There are two specific situations: a, medicinal materials whose prices have been running at a high level for a long time, they generally have high requirements for planting technology, climate and land. For example, Zhonglou, Baiji, Pinellia ternata, Gastrodia elata, if you do not have the corresponding conditions, the planting success rate is very low. Take dry Pinellia ternata as an example, dry Pinellia ternata grows every year, the yield per mu is about 120kg, the overall investment is 3000 yuan, and the price is more than 100yuan per kilogram all the year round, but if we look at the benefit, the benefit per mu is more than 8000. But planting is difficult and demanding on the place of production! B, some medicinal materials due to scarcity, climate and other high prices, these can not catch up. For example, Maca, who was fired by the wind a few years ago, has gradually lost interest in the past two years.

two。 Pay attention to the correct analysis of advertisements of medicinal seed companies

At present, the promotional materials of many seed companies greatly exaggerate the price of medicinal materials, the price of seeds, and the output of medicinal materials, some of which double. In particular, the package recovery contract is a piece of paper, unless the price of medicine is rising, out of stock, the rest of the situation will not be recycled. There is no deposit for all that can be recycled.

3. Trap

The biggest trap for the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine is "high price recovery". Some so-called Chinese medicine brokers sell Chinese medicine seeds and seedlings under the guise of recycling and sign recycling contracts with farmers. By the time the medicinal materials were harvested, these Chinese herbal medicine brokers had disappeared. Suggestion: due to the particularity of the demand for traditional Chinese medicine, it is suggested that farmers and planting cooperatives sign contracts with pharmaceutical enterprises and be guaranteed by relevant departments.

4. The information is not effective

More medicinal materials is grass, less is a treasure, farmers must not blindly follow the trend. There are 17 major professional medicine markets in China, and the prices of Chinese herbal medicine are rapidly changing. some farmers who are far away from the medicine market and have inconvenient transportation have few channels to get information. sometimes, although they get some information, it is difficult to catch up. I remember that before the outbreak of hepatitis in Shanghai, the price of Banlangen was 3 yuan per kilogram, rising to 40 yuan per kilogram overnight. So the people who planted Radix Isatidis rushed in, but after the new product was harvested, the epidemic of hepatitis in Shanghai had already been brought under control, and the price of Radix Isatidis plummeted. The harvested Radix Isatidis cannot be sold, and similar lessons should be learned.

5. The range of knowledge is not wide.

The author suggests that farmers should read more books such as Compendium of Materia Medica and Great Dictionary of traditional Chinese Medicine, and do not trust merchants' advocacy. For example, a businessman who sells seedlings claims that Poveland can collect four or five kilograms of dried flowers per mu, while drugmakers recycle them at 40,000 yuan per kilogram. At first glance, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan per mu. However, as soon as you read the Great Dictionary of traditional Chinese Medicine, you will understand that the so-called "Poveland" and "Saffron" are saffron, also known as saffron. It is more difficult to produce four or five kilograms per mu than to reach the sky, not to mention that there are strict requirements for the origin of medicinal materials. Saffron produced in Xizang is an authentic medicine, but if it is planted in other places, it is still unknown whether it can be sold at a good price. For example, wormwood for hepatitis, there are strict seasonal requirements for mining. If the season is missed, it will lose its medicinal value and have no choice but to burn it as firewood. The author suggests that farmers who want to grow medicinal materials to get rich should choose marketable varieties, and it is best to negotiate with local medicinal companies and sign a purchase contract to avoid worries.

6. The technology is not good.

Chinese herbal medicine is different from food crops, the planting season and management need to know the technology, and beginners should be careful. For example, if you want to plant Radix Glehniae, you must buy seeds that have been frozen in winter before they can emerge. Otherwise, no matter how good the seeds are, they will not come out. There are also Xu Changqing seeds, which are very small and light. If they are not mixed with river sand when sowing, they will be blown away in case of windy weather. There is also burdock, which is sown after the summer wheat harvest, so that the medicinal materials can be harvested after autumn. If spring sowing can only harvest seeds, the roots lose their medicinal value.

Therefore, with a set of scientific planting experience such as medicine-grain intercropping, vegetable-medicine intercropping and fruit-medicine interplanting, farmers will have the effect of increasing income by planting medicinal materials. Therefore, when farmers choose the types of medicinal materials, they should adjust measures to local conditions, adjust measures to the times, and understand the market situation in order to earn money by planting medicinal materials.
