After entering October, chrysanthemum also ushered in the harvesting season, but the domestic chrysanthemum varieties are really many, which are used in medicine, mainly Gongju, Hangzhou chrysanthemum, Chu chrysanthemum, miller chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, and so on, the varieties, places of origin and efficacy of the differences, so can not talk about which one is better. Therefore, the market demand for these chrysanthemums are very large, there is a certain difference in price, with their respective planting area, inventory, the year's production, etc., and sometimes will be driven by each other, especially the efficacy of the more similar varieties. For example, the recent Huaiju price increase is very large, other varieties have been driven, but the difference is very different.
From the beginning of the harvest in October so far, nearly a month's time, Huai chrysanthemum has doubled the price, a catty sold to 50 yuan, which is the last few years have not encountered the high price in many chrysanthemums in the large "Crane Chicken Group" feeling. Huai chrysanthemum flowers are mainly produced in Wuzhi County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, because the Jiaozuo area is known as Huai Qingfu, so the local chrysanthemum varieties named Huai chrysanthemum. It is understood that chrysanthemum is divided into two varieties, a small white chrysanthemum, a small yellow chrysanthemum, both have the effect of clearing away heat and brightening the eyes, but the small yellow chrysanthemum tends to clear away heat, small white chrysanthemum tends to brighten the eyes. However, chrysanthemum is basically medicinal, not suitable for tea.
In fact, any Chinese herbal medicine, if not medicinal food, into people's daily lives, the demand is limited, purely medicinal demand, it is difficult to make and some kind of not rare herbs to get a high price, so it is also related to the growers of the income. One of the most typical is the panax ginseng, not like ginseng as a tonic sold around the world, has fallen into a low price for several years.
And in the previous few years (2016-September 2021), Huaiju is also the same, the purchase price of the origin has not been able to break through 20 yuan a catty. For growers, Huaiju can be said to be sold cheaply for many years, if you enter the tea market, it will not be such a performance, which can be seen from the price of other chrysanthemum varieties that can be used as a tea, are about twice as expensive as Huaiju.
It can be said that the timing of this year's chrysanthemum price increases, it is very surprising, because as a variety of domestic herbs of the main source, Jiaozuo Wuzhi County output of a variety of herbs, in July this year (Henan rainstorms) immediately after the price increases. But Huaiju has been no motive, is still less than 20 yuan / catty dead, as if the cut in production is not a foregone conclusion, not price increases, so then many growers do not have too much to look forward to.
Waiju has been hard to harvest began to rise in price, from about 20 yuan a catty in October, and now has reached 50 yuan / catty, doubling the price, and up to this price is still very hot, the farmers' motivation to harvest is also very high, after all, the low price is too many years.
Today's wave of price increases, farmers have been looking forward to, not only highlights the irreplaceability of the production cuts have also made the previous year's inventory to better digestion, for the future of the good market to create the possibility. Reduced production is the fundamental factor causing the price increase, not the market demand for chrysanthemums have much improved, once the planting area increased, but also to face the risk of price drops, so it is not possible to only see the price, blindly expand the planting area.
