The prospects for planting edible Chinese medicinal materials such as Trichosanthes trichosanthes, Radix Pseudostellariae, Prunella vulgaris, Patchouli, Adenophora adenophora, Luo Han Guo and other medicinal materials are relatively good in 2022, and they can also make money in the next five years. Let’s take a closer look below.

Edible Trichosanthes trichosanthes

Edible Trichosanthes trichosanthes is an annual medicinal and food species that is harvested continuously for three to five years after planting once. Its fruits, seeds and roots are used as medicine. The seeds with the skin are called Trichosanthes trichosanthes. The Chinese medicine for the shell is Trichosanthes trichosanthes. The seeds are called Trichosanthes trichosanthes.

Currently, the sales of edible Trichosanthes melon seeds are large and the benefits are good, which is a strong sales status. For example, in Jiangsu production areas, 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.

At present, medicinal Trichosanthes trichosanthes production areas such as Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Shanxi have been transformed into edible Trichosanthes trichosanthes production areas, which shows that the market demand for this product is large.

In 2022, with the increase in labor costs, the market for edible Trichosanthes melon will steadily strengthen, and the market outlook and prospects are still relatively promising.

Pseudostellariae Radix Pseudostellariae

Pseudostellariae Radix Pseudostellariae is an annual traditional Chinese medicinal material with the same origin as medicine and food. Because of its mild medicinal properties and nourishing yin, it is favored by the traditional Chinese medicine and health care products industries as a substitute for ginseng and even American ginseng, leading to an increase in its use.

Pseudostellariae Pseudostellariae is mainly propagated by seeds and rhizomes. The yield per mu in a normal year is 120-150 kilograms, and the high yield is more than 200 kilograms. At present, the market price of Pseudostellariae 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 two-crop medicinal and edible species. It is an important raw material for many best-selling health drinks in my country and has huge market usage.

Prunella vulgaris can be harvested continuously for 3 years after one planting. Only the bulbs and stems are harvested in the first two years, and the roots can be dug after 3 years. Generally, the yield will decrease after 4 years and replanting is required.

Generally, the yield per mu is about 100-120 kilograms of balls and about 200 kilograms of grass. The price of whole plant grass with balls is 16 yuan/kg, and the price of prunella vulgaris ranges from 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, Prunella vulgaris supply will sell well in small batches, and the market will basically remain stable. At present, the price of home-grown Prunella vulgaris is about 25 yuan, and the price of wild products is about 21 yuan.

Patchouli

The annual national patchouli output is about 6,000 tons, and Guangdong is basically the only country that grows patchouli on a large scale. Now the demand during the period has increased sharply to 10,000 tons, showing a situation of short supply.

In addition, the global mood continues to rise and the status quo will not change in the short term. From this aspect, Huoxiang's short-term market continues to be optimistic. Coupled with the fact that Huoxiang is harvested in one year, the planting prospects in 2022 are optimistic.

Adenadensis

Adenadensis is mainly divided into Southern Adenadensis and Northern Adenadensis. Under normal circumstances, the prices of these two types are not too high, basically around 15 yuan per pound.

However, since more and more people are cultivating it now, and the overall output continues to rise every year, the price of Adenophora ginseng has dropped a bit.

But last year, the production of Adenophora ginseng decreased in 2021, so its price increased. But no matter what, the price of Adenophora ginseng is still relatively cheap, which is suitable for most consumer groups.
