Can Pinellia ternata be planted after the price has gone up?

According to the survey, in the past two years, the trade of dried Pinellia ternata in the professional market of Chinese herbal medicines has been booming. Due to the decrease in supply, the market price has increased year by year. Judging from the transactions in Zhangshu, Jiangxi, Lianqiao, Bozhou, Anhui and Anguo, Hebei this year, the commodity trend of Pinellia ternata is carefree, and the shortage of supply leads to a large gap between supply and demand, and the prices have all increased by more than 40% compared with the same period of last year. At present, the new listing period of its commodities is drawing to a close, but the quantity of commodities entering the market is still scarce, and the number of drug addicts is increasing, resulting in the price of commodities rising to 55-60 yuan/kg, which has become a popular variety in the pharmaceutical market. Industry authorities believe that the market trend of Pinellia ternata in the next five years is still optimistic.

Decrease of wild resources

The listed commodities of Pinellia ternata are mainly provided by wild Pinellia ternata. Due to the reclamation and utilization of barren hills and idle land in the past few years, and the extensive application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides by farmers, its wild environment has been seriously damaged. Especially in recent years, drug farmers in Pinellia production areas have been digging and digging, and the wild resources have gradually decreased, resulting in a serious shortage of listed commodities.

Increase of pharmaceutical factory's feeding capacity

Last year, the pharmaceutical management department carried out a comprehensive rectification of pharmaceutical enterprises. After passing GMP certification, most enterprises increased the production of Chinese patent medicine decoction pieces, preparations and lotions for relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and changed Pinellia ternata into dried Pinellia ternata as raw materials, which greatly increased the market demand for dried Pinellia ternata products.

An increase in the number of exports

In recent two years, the export volume of Pinellia ternata has gradually increased. At the 36th (Zhangshu) National Medicinal Materials Fair held recently, the export orders of Pinellia ternata increased significantly compared with previous ones, and it is estimated that the export volume will reach 20 million kilograms next year.
