Long road to China's rise of ginseng industry lost agriculture and industry confusion

        Ginseng was ranked “ Northeast Sambo ” first, at the same time also known as “ King of baicao ”. However, and also is “ Korea Sambo ” one of Korean ginseng (and northeast of ginseng for same category) compared, as Chinese parameter representative of Changbai mountain ginseng in China and world of fate is rather more error, price after several fluctuations, in recent years more is long-term in low wandering; and, according to related leading enterprise statistics, Changbai mountain ginseng although cultivation area, and productions for Korea Korean ginseng of three times times, but its GDP is only Korean ginseng of one-twentieth.

2010 years, benefit from revitalization of ginseng in Jilin province industrial planning, is the world's main grain producing areas of Panax ginseng in Jilin province in China, ginseng prices rose more than 1 time. On the demand side, the Ministry of health in January 2011 has formally approved the trial of medicine food homology of Panax ginseng in Jilin province for the first time the “ can be used for food &rdquo of Panax ginseng. According to industry estimates, the effect of medicinal and edible pilot will substantially increase the demand for ginseng, Ginseng is expected to demand access to daily consumer goods such as food and cosmetics from Medicine area.

take various positive, long-term Chinese industry downturn is expected to return of the King? Securities times baishan, Yanbian, Jilin tonghua ginseng in the main producing areas, such as the visits to farmers, brokers and purple Xin pharmaceutical, Yi sheng xinkai under the drug industry, ConMed industry related ginseng enterprises such as, road to Renaissance of Chinese ginseng industry found not all smooth sailing.

lost agricultural

“ we don't know how is ginseng prices last year rose up, did you say this year the price can go up? &Amp;rdquo; in chaihe town, Antu County, Yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture in Po Kong planted a few large-scale cutting of forest planting area, kind of ginseng Zhao Yonggui look quite lost in 26 years.

although 2010 ginseng prices have more than 1 time, but Zhao Yonggui home last year didn't make much money. &Amp;ldquo; General last year highest price is 28 Yuan/kg of ginseng, American ginseng sells to the 29, 30; but my house is 11 Yuan/kg of normal price sell, prices began to rise after the sold out, rose to $ 22, 23. &Amp;rdquo; leave it there, Zhao Yonggui somewhat resigned to repent.

“ was now on a per pound price of $ 40 or $ 45 scheduled your participation, we indefinite, prices as high as possible not be, if the appraisal price drops to $ 30/kg of ginseng, we would fate. &Amp;rdquo; prices continue to rise for the future, Zhao also apparently have a few minutes hope. &Amp;ldquo; but do not want to do now. Kind of finish the few crops planted again. Married for 26 years, children 25 years old, now a money deposit at all. &Amp;rdquo;

according to the statistics of the journal of modern Chinese medicine in China, since 1980, output of Chinese participation overall is on the rise, prices declined. 1980-1990, ginseng in short supply, rising prices, high running 1983 water price reaches $ 30/kg, also yilupansheng. But the inflection point in 1990 with ginseng prices began to appear. 1991-2001 years, due to the oversupply of Panax ginseng, output continued to grow, demand is relatively stable, prices declining in 2001 and fell to $ 14.5/kg, non-profits. That by the year 2002-2006, the expected changes in the market, farmers and traders left parameter, parameter align people fell, market disorder, decreased prices appear irrational, the lowest with only $ 5~6/kg. And since 2001, the enthusiasm for agricultural species reduced significantly destroyed phenomena emerge, even individual farmers committed suicide because of repayment pressure. But after 2007, ginseng supply and demand qualitative changes occur over and over again, starting price-volume align rise.

“ they said price rises, will now see out the year after next, you can make money, make money, is not also be losing money. In previous years were losing money, nor make money last year. ” According to Zhao Yonggui introduction, now farmers are a bit worried because many investment in agriculture is at a high price this year, next year if prices fall, down to like last year, a dozen dollars a kilo, “ then we finished ”.

it does not make any money, previously many kinds of agriculture are not planted, planting area is also much less so than in the past. According to Zhao introduction, their participation once had more than 10 enterprises, now has only three or four.

“ also now do not want to do, capital is too high, cash flow problems, and is very slow, to four years, now depend on loans every year. &Amp;rdquo; asked how capital turnover, Zhao Yonggui is also looking very helpless, say three or four times in a row “ do not want to do &rdquo.

“ now on agricultural subsidies are nothing, loan good credit before, but it's very bad credit for three or four years, $ 30,000 this yearLoan applications has not come down, before loans are loans of $ 100,000, do not know what is. &Amp;rdquo in spite of ginseng industry in Jilin province in recent years in putting in place various policies to promote development, but referring to the implementation of related policies, Zhao couldn't help complaining, “ interest discount we don't care, just give credit on it. &Amp;rdquo;

return of value and industry confusion

for the ginseng prices, most people interviewed by reporters are considered to be the inherent value of rationality.

Yi sheng medicine MI-TieJun Li Tung and ConMed xinkaihe Deputy said when interviewed by reporters Zhang Zhidong, ginseng prices last year rose is normal, and its price increase would maintain.

according to one calculation of years ginseng research experts, water production cost at about $ 30/kg. In 2010, ginseng market prices from $ 18/kg all the way up to more than 30 Yuan/kg, highest quality ginseng prices up to $ 40/kg. And according to Jilin province agriculture statistics, ginseng mass listed during, Jilin province production water parameter price 24 Yuan/kg, if consider late parameter price substantially rose factors, actual ginseng price in 27.5 Yuan/kg above, deduction prices rose factors, far below 1978 25 Yuan/kg and 1983 of 30 Yuan/kg (then in China per capita months wage insufficient 60 Yuan). 2010, and Changbai mountain ginseng quality similar of Korea Korean ginseng price equivalent RMB for 200 Yuan/kg above. Therefore, think of agriculture in Jilin province, the current price is still at the stage of value rationality, reasonable price of water should be in more than 50 Yuan/kg.

based on the resource integration of Panax ginseng in Jilin province Development Office of the Working Group on statistics, ginseng cultivation in Jilin province in the past five years are falling, and because the State Forestry Bureau is implementing “ natural forest protection engineering ”, woodland area of planting Panax ginseng will continue to decline.

“ area starting from the 2008 control of ginseng cultivation in Jilin province, ginseng development area is limited to 1000 hectares of forest land within a year, generally in more than 3,000 hectares. Which led to the restricted production and supply of ginseng; thereafter will further reduce the cultivation of Panax ginseng, to look at the case may be. &Amp;rdquo; Jilin ginseng pilose anlter fengjia, Deputy Director of the Office of management to the reporter, in the case said. It is reported that Chinese ginseng cultivation methods to cut forests planted mainly part of farmland species of only a few.

decline in cultivation of Panax ginseng on the one hand, on the other hand market demand is expected to continue to grow, the Ministry of health in January 2011 has formally approved the trial of ginseng in Jilin province medicinal and edible, of the measures for administration of ginseng in Jilin province on March 1 into effect, the solution proposed for the first time “ can be used for food &rdquo of Panax ginseng. According to industry estimates, conservative estimation of food demand for ginseng will be higher than the drug demand for ginseng, Ginseng Medicine food homology in this pilot will substantially increase the demand for ginseng, ginseng demand will be entering the field of medicine and health care products, cosmetics and other areas of daily consumer goods.

in the view of Mr Frederick FUNG, Korea ginseng industry and the largest difference is, Korea ginseng can be as food to eat, more than two-thirds of ginseng is consumed as a food and the provisions of the code of health of ginseng in China can not enter the food, you can only access to medicines and health foods. Under the influence of the Chinese industry is greatly restricted in marketing and product development.

according to its introduction, Korea, taekwondo as a national treasure of Panax ginseng and kimchi, ginseng attached great importance to, has been in the areas of the law on management, as early as 100 years ago launched a ginseng regulations; and China last year only to &ldquo Government regulations ” forms introduce policies, may formally declare next year “ &rdquo of the Ordinance.

on the study of ginseng in Jilin University College of pharmacy, doctor tutor said when interviewed by reporters Li Pingya, currently Korean ginseng in Jilin people main gap lies in the management, processing, and policies, and so on. First, Korean ginseng can entered food, directly entered people table Shang, and China currently cannot entered food, although is for entered food of efforts, but past of time to Chinese parameter of development brings has huge policy sexual obstacles; in processing aspects, Korean ginseng master has advanced technology and has modernization of processing device, management level Korea for Korean ginseng of industry management very strictly, similar China of tobacco industry, and China ginseng of management, from planting, and processing to market circulation are all liberalization, disorder competition led ginseng planting of no planned, and planting excess,, price competition fierce.

Li Pingya believes that China Jilin ginseng just excavated than Korea ginseng of much better quality, intrinsic quality is also stronger than them, deficiencies lies in the processing of standardized enough, not a complete modernization of Red Ginseng processing production line. For this question, he said has attracted close attention of the Jilin provincial government, will be a breakthrough in the near future.

reporter on wanliang ginseng trading market see, many ginseng processing enterprises are hand-made cottage business participating in market competition, dominated by simple drying, such as boiling, relatively simple production equipment, lack of processing and finishing products. Purple Xin pharmaceutical secret Cao Enhui told reporters that Tung, wanliangzhen only registered participantsEnterprise has more than 1000 enterprises, not to mention the many unregistered. In his view, there is no scale of ginseng in China enterprises and, in “ is guanzhuang ” high-end brand in the Chinese market after the firm, Korea ginseng in the commune of other lower-end brands will continue to come in, will form the impact on domestic industry.
