Is there a pyramid scheme for Panax notoginseng in Wenshan?

Since the second half of 2009, the price of Chinese herbal medicines has become the focus of attention. In 20 10, more than 80% of the prices of Chinese herbal medicines rose, with an average increase of 109%. Until the second half of 20 12, the Chinese herbal medicine market began to cool down. 20 13 under the general trend of the decline of Chinese herbal medicines, the price of Wenshan Sanqi has soared. From 2006 to now, the price has increased 20 times in just seven years.

As the price rises, the cost pressure of downstream products is high.

Panax notoginseng is a precious Chinese herbal medicine in China, and it is also a variety of Chinese herbal medicines. Due to the influence of drought in recent years, the price of Panax notoginseng has soared from the average price of 50 yuan per kilogram in 2006 to the current average price of 1 10,000 yuan, which has brought unprecedented cost pressure to downstream pharmaceutical production enterprises and brought great hidden dangers to the healthy and sustainable development of Panax notoginseng industry.

Mr. Yu of Kunming Juyuan Chinese herbal medicine market said: "In recent years, the price of Panax notoginseng has been very unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low. We must also seize the opportunity to buy it in order to sell it at a good price. "

Wholesale price of Sanqi this year

Increase 200 yuan/kg year-on-year

Mr. Xu, a wholesaler, said: "Now the market price of Panax notoginseng can be sold to around per kilogram 1200 yuan, and the current price of Panax notoginseng is not low, basically around 600-800 yuan/kg." The earliest price of Wenshan Sanqi was only 40 yuan/kg, and it began to increase in 2006, and it has remained high. From 20 1 1 to 20 12, the wholesale price of Panax notoginseng is about 600 to 800 yuan/kg, but this year a kg has been sold to 1000 yuan.

It is understood that before May of 20 12, the average dry price of Panax Notoginseng currently circulating in the local market was around 400 yuan/kg, and it began to rise continuously in the second half of 20 12, and it had risen to 750 yuan/kg by the end of last year, and rose sharply again in mid-May this year, exceeding 1000 yuan, especially for 20 high-quality Panax Notoginseng.

However, it fluctuated in June. The average price of all kinds of Panax notoginseng in Wenshan Panax notoginseng market has increased to varying degrees, except for fresh Panax notoginseng, dried Panax notoginseng flowers and roots, which decreased by 14.83% in three years. Followed by dried flowers of Panax notoginseng, with a decrease of 12.95%.

The blind expansion of pursuing interests has never stopped.

Although the price fluctuates greatly, the blind expansion of pursuing interests has never stopped. In 20 12, the planting area of Panax notoginseng in Wenshan was only about160,000 mu. This year, it is estimated that the planting area has exceeded 300,000 mu, nearly doubling.

Tan Wenjia, deputy director of Wenshan Sanqi Industry Bureau, expressed concern about this. He said: "Now the price of Sanqi has basically reached its peak, and it is not a good thing for Sanqi farmers to continue to develop like this."

In fact, in 2006, due to blind expansion, the price of Panax notoginseng plummeted, and even fell to 50 yuan/kg at the lowest, and many Panax notoginseng growers lost their money. The planting area now is three times that of seven years ago.

News survey

The price of "Waterloo" has been foreshadowed.

At present, there are 1258 pharmaceutical factories in China that produce drugs with notoginseng as the main raw material. Coupled with the demand of health care products market and Chinese herbal medicine market, the market demand of Panax notoginseng is about 7000 tons. In 20 12, the peak supply of panax notoginseng reached 6500 tons, and the gap in demand was one of the reasons for the price increase of panax notoginseng. However, if the price of Panax notoginseng continues to rise, the production cost of downstream pharmaceutical companies is too high, which is likely to force pharmaceutical companies to adjust prices and gradually reduce or give up Panax notoginseng-related products, which will eventually lead to an oversupply of Panax notoginseng and a sharp drop in prices.

"So far, we haven't received a notice about the price adjustment of drugs containing Sanqi." The salesperson of a pharmacy near Baima Community said that there are relatively many kinds of drugs containing notoginseng in the pharmacy, but the price has not been significantly adjusted this year. In pharmacies, Xuesaitong soft capsules produced by Kunming Shenghuo Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd. and Kunming Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. were compared, both of which contained Panax notoginseng. The price is 22.9 yuan/box and 34.5 yuan/box respectively, and the price remains unchanged compared with before.

"The price of drugs containing Sanqi was adjusted once last year. For example, the original price of Li Xuesaitong Soft Capsule (20 capsules/bottle) was 98 yuan/bottle, which was later adjusted to 1 15.8 yuan/bottle, but the price has not been adjusted this year. " A salesperson at a pharmacy near Huapu Road said. According to people in the pharmaceutical sales industry, it will take some time for the price of pharmaceutical ingredients to rise and fall to be reflected in the price of finished drugs.

Yang, deputy general manager of Yunnan People's Shame Flower Cosmetics Co., Ltd. said that the large users of Sanqi in Yunnan's medicine, health care products and daily chemical enterprises all have their own Sanqi planting bases, and the scale is not small. The raw materials used by these enterprises are basically self-produced. These enterprises have certain ability to resist market risks. The price increase of March 7th has little impact on these enterprises, and the profit margins of some enterprises will be reduced. The rising price of Panax notoginseng will bring greater pressure to pharmaceutical companies that rely on Panax notoginseng as raw materials and have no planting base for Panax notoginseng.

"We expect the price to have a smooth transition stage. If it keeps going up like this, we are worried. Now the market is more than 400 kilograms, and we hope to maintain it at more than 300. " Mu Yunfu, a farmer of Sanqi in Pingba County, wenshan city, said.

News expansion

Beware of the new "enclosure movement" on March 7.

Rising prices triggered a new "enclosure movement" again on March 7. As far as Wenshan is concerned, the growth rate of planting area of Panax notoginseng has nearly doubled this year. However, because Panax notoginseng is a special Chinese herbal medicine, it will take three years to mature and cannot be planted continuously. The land planted with Panax notoginseng should be fallow for at least 10 years before it can be planted again. At present, there is no large area of land suitable for planting in Wenshan, and more and more large growers have begun to choose to plant Panax notoginseng in other places.

Yu Yuyan, a farmer of Panax notoginseng in Wenshan, believes that Panax notoginseng on the market is basically in a state of balance between supply and demand. At present, Panax Notoginseng has been introduced and cultivated in Honghe, Yuxi, Qujing, Baoshan, Chuxiong, Shilin and Yiliang counties. Next year, three or seven parts of those areas can be picked, and there will be a situation in which supply exceeds demand. The price drop is an inevitable trend, which may usher in the trough of the Sanqi market. At that time, there will be no more "happily making money".

Except Wenshan, most local growers will choose places like Honghe, Dali and Yuxi to plant Panax notoginseng.

The reporter saw in Honghe Prefecture that some mountains planted with Sanqi were covered with a large area of Sanqi. Nowadays, more and more large-scale planters with a scale of 1,000 mu are constantly emerging, and even investors who used to engage in other industries have switched to planting Sanqi. Most of these growers have planting areas in and around Wenshan, but the cost of planting in other places is about 20% higher than Wenshan.

Because of the increase in the cost of planting in different places, under the current market background, the future is bound to be transmitted to the terminal, which will boost the price increase. Once the market reverses and the price falls, it will lack market competitiveness because of high cost. Therefore, industry insiders reminded that we must be very cautious in investing in planting Panax notoginseng at present. (Yang Xuli, Zhao Wen)
