Northern Schisandra chinensis
Price: 70,000 yuan/ton
Since the 1990s, Schisandra chinensis has been widely used in clinical and food, beverage, health care, and textile applications Dyes and many other fields, therefore, have received widespread attention from all walks of life at home and abroad. From 2000 to the present, the production of Schisandra chinensis has declined, the market demand is strong, and the price has risen. In particular, the price of northern Schisandra chinensis has been declining year by year. The one from Inner Mongolia is called Northern Schisandra (also known as Liao Schisandra); the one produced in the northwest is called Western Schisandra; the one produced in the south is called Southern Schisandra. Northern Schisandra chinensis has high medicinal ingredients and is superior to Western Schisandra chinensis and Southern Schisandra chinensis.
According to a survey (estimate) of wild Schisandra chinensis production in the main northern Schisandra chinensis production areas, the production of Schisandra chinensis has declined for five consecutive years since the price of Schisandra chinensis increased in 1999, with an annual decline rate of more than 20%, especially for From 2002 to 2003, the production reduction rate exceeded 50%.
Analyzing the reasons for production reduction, first, serious natural disasters. In the past five years, natural disasters of varying degrees have occurred every year in the northern Schisandra chinensis production area, with 2002 and 2003 being the most serious. According to surveys, the output of this product in the four provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and Inner Mongolia this year has dropped by about 70% compared with previous years. In a normal year, the output of this product in the four provinces and autonomous regions should be about 2.24 million to 2.5 million kilograms, accounting for about 70% of the country's total output of 3.2 million kilograms. However, the output of the four provinces and regions this year has been reduced by about 1.57 million to 1.7 million kilograms. The output is only 670,000 to 750,000 kilograms, only 30% of normal years.
The second is the increase in man-made destruction factors. In recent years, the price of wild Schisandra chinensis has been rising, gradually rising from 5 yuan (kg price, the same below) before 1999 to about 40 yuan. Driven by profits, farmers in the production areas harvested indiscriminately, and even cut the vines destructively for harvesting, causing the In the second year, it is difficult for the new vines to set fruit and the yield decreases. According to relevant department surveys on wild resource stocks in the above-mentioned four provinces and regions, the production of Schisandra chinensis has decreased by about 60% in recent years compared with the 1990s, and will continue to show a downward trend in the future.
The wild resources of Schisandra chinensis are declining year by year, and artificial cultivation has just started and has not yet formed a scale. However, domestic and foreign market demand is increasing year by year, resulting in an acute contradiction between supply and demand. From 1999 to 2003, the purchase price and market price of Schisandra chinensis increased year by year. In 1999, the purchase price was 5 yuan, and the market price was 9 yuan to 11 yuan; in 2000, the purchase price was 13 yuan to 15 yuan, and the market price was 25 yuan to 30 yuan; in 2001, the purchase price was 20 yuan to 22 yuan, and the market price was 30 yuan to 35 yuan; in 2002 The annual purchase price is 25 yuan, and the market price is 35 yuan to 38 yuan; the purchase price from January to July 2003 is 28 yuan, and the market price is 38 yuan to 40 yuan; the purchase price from August to October 2003 is 34 yuan to 36 yuan, and the market price is 40 yuan to 42 Yuan, and it remains high. There is a price but no market. At present, high-quality products in Sankeshu Pharmaceutical Market and production areas in Liaoning and Jilin provinces are basically out of stock. At the same time, the retail price of this product in the farmers' markets of the three northeastern provinces has risen to 45 yuan to 50 yuan, and the supply is very small, and it is a sporadic transaction. .
According to the survey, due to the shortage of supply, the purchase price of Schisandra chinensis in the northern Schisandra production area changes day by day. Seeing the rising prices, farmers are even more reluctant to sell, and there is no large quantity of goods available in the production area. Based on various factors, the author believes that the price of Schisandra chinensis will continue to strengthen in the future and will be difficult to decline in the short term.
