Banlangen production exceeded, the domestic market exceeds supply

The golden season of medicinal herbs is about to pass. The best-selling work in the main production area of ​​Banlangen is also nearing completion. Not long ago, the author conducted surveys on Heilongjiang Daqing, Longjiang, Suihua, and other regions in the main production area of ​​Banlangen. The results showed that the production of Isatis roots continued to increase, sales volume continued to fall, prices began to decline, and the market outlook exceeded supply.
The planting area has been expanded, and the production of Banlangen has been increasing year after year. It is traditionally used in traditional Chinese medicine. Due to its higher medicinal value, there are currently more than 1,000 pharmaceutical groups (plants) in China that use Radix Isatidis as the main raw material, Chinese and Western medicines, Chinese Herbal Medicines, and veterinary drugs. More than 2,000 kinds.
At present, China completely artificially cultivates Banlangen supply market. After entering the 21st century, China's heat and detoxification of traditional Chinese medicines such as phenylpropanolamine (PPA) (Phenylpropanolamine) has emerged. As a result, the market demand for Radix is ​​increasing at a rate of 15% each year. Due to the strong adaptability of Radix Isatidis and its strict requirements on the natural environment and soil, it is a good project for the adjustment of rural agricultural planting structure. As a result, from the 1970s and 1980s onwards, more than 20 provinces and autonomous regions such as Anhui, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, and Shaanxi began to develop Banlangen production. The planting area has been expanding year by year and the output has increased year after year. According to the incomplete statistics on the main producing areas of Banlangen, its planting area has expanded from 20,000 to 30,000 mu in 2005 to 200,000 to 300,000 mu in 2008, and the production (an average of 250 kg per acre) was adopted by 2005. The annual output of 5,000 to 7,500 tons was increased to 50,000 to 75,000 tons in 2008, and the area and output have doubled in 10 years.
The demand increase is not large, and the proportion of production and sales is not adjusted. According to the market survey, the demand status of Banlangen in China's pharmaceutical market can be divided into two different phases: the first phase. Before 2005, the demand is strong, and the demand for Banlangen in the market is increasing each year. 15%, production and sales are largely balanced, and the production areas are basically all-round production, with a rare backlog. In the second stage, the period from 2006 to 2008 was a period of stable demand. In 2008, the demand remained at the previous year's level and there was no significant increase. However, the total output rose sharply. As a result, the proportion of production and sales became disproportionate and the supply exceeded supply, resulting in slow sales in the production areas. About 50% of the production will not be sold in the new production year but will remain until the following year.
How much is the sales of Radix Isatidis? According to estimates from senior experts in several major producing areas, before 2005, the cumulative sales volume in the country was about 50,000 tons. There were few stocks in the society, and it was basically all-round production. In 2006-2008, the cumulative sales volume in the country was about 60,000 yuan. About tons, of which about 10,000 to 15,000 tons of slow-moving (stock).
The market economy is "expensive and expensive." Banlangen's market conditions have also experienced ups and downs. According to a survey of the Banlangen prices in 17 professional Chinese herbal medicine markets and in major producing areas such as Gansu and Daqing, from 2001 to 2002, the national average price of Banlangen (the same below) is 2 yuan (kilogram price, the same below), and in 2003, The period of SARS rose sharply to 13-20 yuan. It fell back to 3 to 4.5 yuan in 2004, rose to 4.8-6.5 yuan in 2005, dropped to 3.5-5.5 yuan in 2006, and the market price rebounded to 5-7 yuan at the end of 2007. What is the price trend of the Isatis root market in 2008? According to reports, after the production of new production areas rare major customers came to order, large cargo moves slowly, sales fell sharply year-on-year, due to the lower purchase price, not only farmers reluctant to sell, and buyers do not dare to start a lot, are waiting to see. As of the time of the author's press release, Daqing, Gansu and other major new real estate production products sold only about 50% of the total output, and the remaining 50% for sale in Curry. Due to unsalable sales, the purchase price of origins has dropped, and Banlangen has dropped from 4.8 to 5 yuan (8 percent dry) in the previous year to 4 to 4.2 yuan, with an average drop of 20%; prices of herbal medicines around the country have also dropped at the same time, from 5.5 in the previous year. ~7.5 yuan (dry goods) dropped to 5 to 6.5 yuan, an average decline of 19%.
In 2008, the current situation of production and sales of Banlangen and the trend of the market from 2009 to 2010 are all showing signs of optimism. The main reason is that: in 2008, there was slow sales and inventory was too large; the planting area of ​​production areas was difficult to reduce from 2009 to 2010, and the total output will be 7.5 in 2008. On the basis of 10,000 tons, it is expected to exceed the 100,000-ton mark. However, the market is not a bottomless hole. The demand cannot be significantly increased synchronously. If there is no major epidemic and special demand, various users will not increase orders and the prices will not rebound, and there will be a trend of low prices and low prices. It is possible to further advance at the end of 2004. 2.5 ~ 2.7 yuan low price in the dust.
