Five questions for you to grow Chinese herbal medicines

Nowadays, with the deepening of industrial structure adjustment, an upsurge of planting medicine has sprung up in rural areas. in the face of the complex and changeable market of traditional Chinese medicine, planting skills are particularly important in order to achieve ideal economic benefits. for drug farmers, they should not only go deep into the market and carefully ponder, collect information in many aspects, but also have a sense of risk and be prepared for success and failure. Therefore, if we want to grow traditional Chinese medicine well and achieve efficient economic benefits, we need to pay attention to the following five problems.

1. It is easy to take refuge in planting varieties.

Many drug farmers are eager to get rich, often take the high-priced medicinal materials as the choice project, in fact, these medicinal materials have their own unique growth environment, do not adapt to the place is very difficult to grow, and planting technology requirements are strict, the probability of successful planting is very small. If you are not a research institution or a large planting base, but just a personal trial, it is best not to introduce such a variety when the conditions are not in place, so as to avoid the loss outweighing the gain. If you are only trying to grow medicinal herbs for the first time, you should choose those varieties that are suitable for local cultivation, have strong vitality, and are easier to grow and manage. Although the price is low, these medicinal materials are easy to succeed and produce benefits.

two。 The planting area depends on the stress.

The size of the planting area must take into account its own human, material and financial resources. Because the benefit of planting medicine is big, it is risky. If you are many people partnering to contract land to grow medicine, have sufficient human and financial resources, have experience in planting medicine or have professional guidance, then the larger the planting area, the more the number of medicinal materials, the greater the attractiveness to drug factory purchasers and drug vendors, who can use chauffeured cars to purchase and ship directly to the place of origin, so that they can sell quickly and reduce the cost of promotion, and the income is relatively greater. If you have limited funds, you should start with a small area and sell your products in the nearest medicine purchasing department or professional market. Expand the planting scale after you have the planting experience.

3. Do not follow the price around the market

Most drug farmers have such a mentality: "grow up but not fall", that is, plant whatever the price goes up, while those who fall in price do not want to grow it. However, the price of medicinal materials is not immutable. When the price goes up, everyone goes to plant it, and when it comes to new production, the high price often turns into a low price, resulting in a profit last year and a loss next year. If you can examine the changing trend of the market price of medicinal materials, understand the fluctuation cycle of the price of medicinal materials, and plant those medicinal materials that are rarely planted and whose prices are temporarily on the low side, you will get an unexpected good harvest.

4. Planting local "special" and "excellent" medicinal materials

Because the natural environment is different in different places. The quality of the medicinal materials produced is also different, the price is high or low, and the dosage is big or small. Generally speaking, local special products are most easily favored by pharmaceutical companies and drug dealers, with good prices and fast sales. Therefore, we should first make clear which are the local special varieties, and then choose to plant them. In this way, we will not worry about the market, and we can sell it at a good price.

5. Seize the opportunity to sell products

Generally speaking, drug farmers are eager to find a market after the production of new medicinal materials, worrying that the products will not be sold. In fact, medicinal materials and commodities, when new production due to a large number of products on the market, will lead to a decline in prices, there must be no good price to sell at this time. If you can process the medicinal materials at the beginning of their origin and store them well, they will be sold at the right time when the price goes up. You can get a higher profit.
