Essential oil sells for thousands of yuan per milliliter Hainan villagers grow incense on the road to prosperity

When it comes to incense, everyone must be familiar with it. Chenxiang is not only a precious medicine, but also can be used as incense material or handicrafts. Hainan is an important producing area of Chenxiang. In the 30th team of Dongtai Farm in Qionghai, planting incense has also become a way for villagers to get rich.

Wu Junlin is a worker of the 30th team of Qionghai Dongtai Farm. He said that when he was a child, he heard the old man say that incense is a treasure. About 30 years ago, he planted 5000 incense trees, and then planted them every year. Now, he has nearly 20, 000 incense trees.

Wu Junlin cut off a piece of bark and gave it to everyone to smell, and you could smell a strong fragrance. Wu Junlin told us that this incense tree is ten years old and began to pick up incense two years ago. Originally, the incense tree had to undergo lightning insect bites and secrete resin from the wound to form incense. The efficiency of extracting incense is low, and it is difficult to make a profit. Unable to see the prospect of planting, Wu Junlin's wife once objected to him planting incense trees.

Insisting that the income from planting trees will not be available, and if we do not take incense and only sell incense trees, each tree is only a few hundred yuan, and Wu Junlin is not reconciled to it. In 2012, things took a turn for the better, and Wu Junlin began to cooperate with Ying Chaoyang International Group from Guangdong. The company provides potions and technology to extract incense, and the incense can be sold to the company. Through the cooperation over the past few years, the income of Wu Junlin's family has really increased.

Wu Junlin says that when the incense tree grows to a root diameter of about 17 centimeters, it can begin to form incense. At present, the wholesale price of incense extracted from incense trees that bear incense for about a year can reach five or six yuan per gram. The longer it takes to form incense, the higher the value of incense. The output value of an incense tree that has borne incense for about 3 years can reach 10,000 yuan. Now, the income has increased and the life is stable. Other workers on the farm also began to join the team of planting Chenxiang.

Now, win North Korea International Group has set up an artificial incense base and a factory for distilling essential oils in team 30 of Dongtai Farm, Qionghai City. The market price of Chenxiang essential oil can reach 2000 to 3000 yuan per milliliter. The company will develop Chenxiang planting, build Chenxiang tourism base, and lead nearby farmers to get rich together.
