Generally speaking, the price of a pound of astragalus is around 30-35 yuan. But this price will be affected by many factors and will vary slightly, especially the purchasing method and the place of origin. For example, a pound of carefully selected high-quality astragalus slices may cost about 100-130 yuan. If you buy it online, the price will be lower, about 15-30 yuan per pound. In addition, the price of a pound of wild astragalus is about 50-60 yuan. However, its price fluctuations are relatively small, because its planting area has been increasing, its inventory is large, and it is easy to store, so its supply and demand in the market are still relatively sufficient, and there will be no major price fluctuations in the short term.
