Which Chinese medicinal materials have good prospects for development in 2022 (which medicinal materials can make money in the next five years)

At present, the era of great health has arrived, and the awareness of health care has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The use of health products will continue to increase, so when choosing Chinese medicinal materials for planting, we must follow the awareness of "edible is more than medicinal". So, which Chinese medicinal materials have a good prospect for development in 2022?

In 2022, the planting of edible Chinese medicinal materials such as Trichosanthes, Radix Pseudostellariae, Herba Prunellae, Pogostemon Cablin, Radix Adenophorae, and Monk Fruit has a good prospect and can make money in the next five years . Let's take a closer look.

Edible Trichosanthes

The edible Trichosanthes kirilowii is an annual medicinal and edible variety, which can be harvested continuously for three to five years after planting. Its fruit, seeds and roots are used as medicine. The whole Trichosanthes kirilowii with skin and seeds is the fruit shell, the seed is called Trichosanthes kirilowii, and the rhizome is called Trichosanthes kirilowii.

At present, the sales volume of edible Trichosanthes seeds is large and the benefits are good, which is a good sales status. For example, in Jiangsu, the price of medicinal Trichosanthes seeds is 20-23 yuan/kg, while the price of edible Trichosanthes seeds is as high as 42-43 yuan/kg, showing an upward trend all the way.

At present, the medicinal Trichosanthes producing areas in Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Shanxi and other places have transformed into edible Trichosanthes producing areas, which is enough to show that the market demand for this product is relatively large.

In 2022, with the increase in labor costs, the market price of edible Trichosanthes will steadily strengthen, and the market outlook and prospects are still relatively optimistic.

Pseudostellaria heterophylla

Pseudostellaria heterophylla is an annual Chinese herbal medicine that is both a medicine and a food. Because of its mild medicinal properties and its ability to nourish yin, it is a substitute for ginseng and even American ginseng, and is very popular in the traditional Chinese medicine and health care product industries, leading to an increase in its usage.

The main propagation method of Pseudostellaria heterophylla is seeds and rhizomes. The yield per mu in normal years is 120-150 kg, and the high yield is more than 200 kg. At present, the market price of Pseudostellaria heterophylla is 55-60 yuan/kg, and the output value per mu is more than 7,500 yuan .

Prunella vulgaris

Prunella vulgaris is an annual double-crop variety that is both a medicine and food. It is an important raw material for many popular health drinks in my country and has a huge market demand.

Prunella vulgaris can be harvested continuously for 3 years after planting. In the first two years, only the bulbs and stems are harvested, and the roots can be dug after 3 years. Generally, the yield will decrease after 4 years, and it needs to be replanted.

Generally, the yield of bulbs per mu is 100-120 kg, and the grass is about 200 kg. The price of the whole grass with bulbs is 16 yuan/kg, and the price of the bulbs of summer cypress is 25-40 yuan/kg. The purchase price of its stems, leaves and roots is 4-5 yuan/kg, and the comprehensive output value per mu is more than 4,000 yuan.

In 2022, the supply of Prunella vulgaris in small batches was sold well, and the market remained basically stable. At present, the price of cultivated Prunella vulgaris is about 25 yuan, and the price of wild Prunella vulgaris is about 21 yuan.

Patchouli

The annual production of patchouli in China is about 6,000 tons, and Guangdong is basically the only province in the country that grows patchouli on a large scale. Now during the emotional period, the demand has increased sharply to 10,000 tons, showing a situation of supply exceeding demand.

In addition, the continued rise in sentiment around the world will not change the status quo in the short term. From this perspective, the short-term market for huoxiang continues to be optimistic. In addition, huoxiang is harvested once a year, so the planting prospects in 2022 are optimistic.

Adenophora

Adenophora is mainly divided into southern Adenophora and northern Adenophora. Generally speaking, the prices of these two types are not too high, basically around 15 yuan per catty.

However, as more and more people are growing it, the overall output continues to increase every year, and the price of Adenophora has dropped a bit.

But last year in 2021, the production of Adenophora radix decreased, so its price increased. But anyway, the price of Adenophora radix is ​​still relatively cheap, which is suitable for most consumers.
