The price of Huang Cen has doubled, and the price of Bupleurum has increased by four or five times. There is a "money way" for the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines. In mid-September, it is the seed production season of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. In Qingyang, Gansu, Huang Qi's hometown, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is a beacon in the eyes of local people.
Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is an important Chinese herbal medicine to fight the epidemic in COVID-19. In the past two years, the value of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi has been rising. In 20 19, the purchase price of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi dry goods is about per kilogram 12 yuan, and its value will double to 25 yuan per kilogram in 2020. It is expected that this price will remain this year.
Huachi, Gansu Province, located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, was once a well-known national poverty-stricken county with criss-crossing ravines and little rain. Today, it has become a "land of geomantic omen", full of medicinal materials. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Radix Astragali, Flos Lonicerae and Radix Bupleuri have become "new prescriptions" for villagers to get rich.
From 2065438 to 2008, Zhang Laohan planted more than 20 mu of Astragalus membranaceus, and after deducting the cost, the net profit reached 50,000 yuan. In addition, imitating wild Chinese herbal medicines also saves a lot of labor, planting people in the sky and sowing and harvesting mechanically. In his spare time, Zhang Zhiwu can also work in a nearby agricultural cooperative. Together, the two incomes earned 70 thousand to 80 thousand that year.
Nowadays, in Huachi County, college students who have returned to their hometowns to start businesses have also joined the "drug planting army". Through down-to-earth efforts in recent years, Xiaobai's career in planting medicinal materials has steadily improved. This year, the 260 mu of Radix Isatidis he planted will mature, and he can earn more than 400,000 yuan at the price of per kilogram 13.5 yuan. Among other varieties, the price of Bupleurum chinense increased the most. /kloc-in 0/9, the price of dried Bupleurum chinense was still above 20 yuan per kilogram, and this year it was close to breaking the 100-yuan mark. Xiaobai also calculated a big account. It is not a problem that his income will exceed 3 million yuan in the next five years.
Among the many drug farmers in Huachi, one person has to mention-Yao Wenzhi. This "young man" with white hair is a "genuine" post-80s generation. It is under his leadership that many ethnic medicinal materials have made a fortune. More than ten years ago, Yao Wenzhi, who went out to work, heard from his workmates that the income from planting burdock was good. He was bold and cautious, and began to try to plant in his own field, and it was out of control from then on.
From tens of acres to thousands of acres, it took Yao Wenzhi only five years to do something he couldn't figure out, so he asked agricultural experts in the province for guidance. In 20 14, we tried to plant wild Astragalus, Scutellaria baicalensis, Bupleurum and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and became the leading local pharmaceutical companies. The harvest season is coming soon. Recently, Yao Wenzhi often uses drones to "review" his medicine fields. Several Chinese herbal medicines, such as Radix Isatidis, Radix Astragali, Scutellariae Radix, etc., covered the abandoned yellow land in the form of terraces, forming the present 10,000 mu crop belt.
In 2020, Yao Wenzhi invested all its investment in the construction of Chinese herbal medicine industrial park, with 9 brand-new factories, covering an area of 1.35 mu and costing1.50 million yuan. In the future, in addition to the functions of deep processing and storage, there will be a Chinese herbal medicine trading market that can accommodate 500 booths, providing more sales for growers.
In addition to the demonstration of "capable people", at present, the local government takes the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine industry as the starting point to realize the effective docking of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and has introduced a series of incentive and compensation policies to encourage farmers to develop Chinese herbal medicines.
