37 is so expensive, do farmers make money growing it? My six-year-old farm was built (picture)

The southeast of Yunnan, the main industry of Panax notoginseng, has been famous both inside and outside the country over the years, and it is also known as "the king of ginseng and the sacred grass of the south". Its health care value is very high, so do farmers make money by planting Panax notoginseng?

I am 35 years old this year. I have been growing Panax notoginseng in Yunnan for almost six years, and the best time has been dedicated to this humble little pimple. During this period, I have experienced all kinds of hardships and the joy of harvest. All kinds of ups and downs can only be experienced by people who have really worked in agriculture.

My Panax notoginseng farm is in the mountains of Yunnan, which is 2000 meters above sea level.

The air in Yunnan is very good. The blue sky is beautiful.

This is fertilized in the field. The seedlings of Panax notoginseng are very tender. The fertilizer that falls on the leaves must be blown down by machine, or the seedlings will be burned.

Since 14 years, the market price of Panax notoginseng has plummeted, from 400-500 per jin to 40-50 per jin in 2015. How painful it is! The whole Panax notoginseng farm in 2015 cost me about 1 million. I spit out the last time I earned two years ago, and went back to before liberation.

But Panax notoginseng is a really valuable medicine, its effect is real, do not want Maka to have no effect, it all depends on hype, the price has dropped from thousands of yuan all the way to dozens of yuan. With the health care effect of Panax notoginseng, especially the prevention of poor sleep in the middle-aged and elderly, and even the treatment of cerebral thrombosis, stroke and internal bleeding, the price of Panax notoginseng has risen again, although it has not reached the highest point. at least we seven farmers will not lose money.

This also strengthened my confidence to keep going with Panax notoginseng, to grow high-quality Panax notoginseng, to say it is to make more money, and to say it is to help people get rid of illness and enjoy life!

This is the three-year-old Panax notoginseng I planted the year before last. I have already come forward. In a few months, it will probably be dug in October. (Panax notoginseng takes three years to cultivate before it can be harvested.)

So is it profitable to grow Panax notoginseng now? Let me tell you something briefly.

It is calculated according to the current market price of unified goods, which is the kind that is simply trimmed and dried with soil and dust (hundreds of thousands of jin of transactions) after mining and digging. At present, the market price is about 130-150 yuan per jin. Calculated on the basis of 10 mu of land managed by an ordinary grower, the lowest cost of input per mu of land in three years is 25000, and self-management is not calculated as labor cost. The output of 10 mu of land is generally 2000 jin-2500 jin dry Panax notoginseng. (excluding the risk, if the disease yield will be halved or even no harvest)

The price and output are all calculated according to the best 2500 jin * 150-input 250000

According to the calculation, the gross profit is only 125,000 yuan. You know, this is in the context of the big price rise last year, and it is the output of three years. The couple have not estimated the risk of diseases and insect pests and price reduction in the Sanqi field for three years. Do you still think of making money?.

Let's take a look at the external environment of Sanqi Farm this year.
