At present, there are many names of traditional Chinese medicines that we have never heard of, such as polygala tenuifolia, Rhizoma Sparganii, dried ginger, dried lacquer, Guangbai, etc., all of which belong to traditional Chinese medicines, but people don't touch them often and will look for them when necessary. Today I want to tell you about turmeric. At this time, many friends will ask what turmeric is. What are the planting prospects? Introduce the following for everyone!

1. What is turmeric?

Turmeric is the dried rhizome of zingiberaceae plants. In winter, the general medicine farmers will dig the turmeric plants with withered stems and leaves home, then wash the rhizome, cook it or steam it, and then dry it in the sun to remove the fibrous roots. After drying, the surface is dark yellow, a little rough, with shriveled texture and obvious links, which smells peculiar and tastes a little bitter and pungent.

1. Where is the origin of turmeric?

The producing areas of turmeric are mainly distributed in Fujian, Taiwan Province, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. The above areas are mainly distributed in the wild, and some are planted artificially, but there is no large-scale cultivation.

2. What are the effects and functions of turmeric?

The main function of turmeric is to break blood, promote qi circulation, and relieve dysmenorrhea and pain. It is mainly used for chest pain, chest pain, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, rheumatism, shoulder and arm pain, traumatic pain and so on.

3. Who is not suitable for eating turmeric?

People with blood deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis and pregnant women can't eat turmeric.

Second, what is the prospect of turmeric planting?

1. Analysis of planting status

At present, there are two main producing areas of turmeric cultivation in China. The first producing area is Sichuan, which is mainly based on domestic resources, and the second producing area is Yunnan, which is mainly based on wild resources. In recent years, the wild resources of turmeric have gradually decreased, which is one of the reasons why the market price of turmeric has increased. Secondly, the cultivation of turmeric has never made money, and farmers' enthusiasm for planting turmeric has weakened, resulting in a decrease in output, so there is a contradiction between supply and demand and the market price has risen.

2. Analysis of planting prospect

In recent years, turmeric has become active in our life, which shows that its demand is increasing constantly, and more people understand the utilization value of turmeric. At present, the price of turmeric in the market is generally around 20-30 yuan kilo, and there is an upward trend. Although the market situation of turmeric is good now, because turmeric has been in a downturn in the past few years, farmers have given up planting, so it is difficult to recover the output in a short time. If we analyze the current market phenomenon, the planting prospect of turmeric is still very good in the short term.

3. Market analysis

The market of turmeric is relatively good. At present, the domestic demand for turmeric reaches 50,000 tons every year, and the amount of turmeric imported from China by foreign countries exceeds 200,000 tons every year, while the total output of China is basically only about 200,000 tons. Therefore, the market demand is far greater than what we can provide, and the natural market price and market conditions will not decline. If the planting scale of turmeric is expanded later, the market will reach a new high.

The above three points are the analysis and introduction of turmeric planting prospects.

3. How much is the market price of turmeric?

The market price of turmeric is generally around 20-30 yuan kilo, and the price varies from region to region. At present, the website shows that the price of turmeric is as follows:

1. The latest price of turmeric market in Anguo Medicine Market is around 17 yuan.

2. The latest price of turmeric market in Yulin Drug Market is around 17- 17.5 yuan.
