What are the scarce varieties of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in the next 5 years?
The medicinal herb market occupies a very important position in our country's agricultural economy, and our country has countless varieties of medicinal herbs, including many precious and even scarce varieties. If farmers want to make money by growing traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, they need to understand which medicinal herbs are in high market demand and which are in short supply in the market, as only those are the most valuable. So what are the scarce traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in the next 5 years? Let's take a look!
1. Tianshan snow lotus
Tianshan snow lotus, also known as snow lotus, is a name that many people have heard of in martial arts novels, but in fact Tianshan snow lotus also exists in real life, only it is extremely rare and therefore not well known. What can be seen now is basically all cultivated snow lotus, while wild ones are very few, and on top of that, the growth cycle of Tianshan snow lotus is as long as 5 to 8 years, so it is a very scarce traditional Chinese medicinal herb resource on the market.
2. Velvet antler
Velvet antler is one of the extremely precious and scarce traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. Its finished product refers to the young, unossified, velvet-covered antlers of the male sika deer or red deer. Its medicinal value is very high, and it can be used for conditions such as yin deficiency, yang deficiency and blood deficiency, and on the medicinal herb market, velvet antler can sell for anywhere from several tens of yuan to several hundred yuan per gram.
3. Rhodiola rosea
The cultivation technology for Rhodiola rosea is currently not yet perfected, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has only been domesticated and cultivated in recent years, so it is also a very scarce medicinal herb on the market. Although cultivation has begun in many places in our country, the scale of cultivation has never made further breakthroughs, and its growth cycle is as long as 5 to 7 years, leaving the market in a state of complete shortage. Although the price of Rhodiola rosea is not as high as those rare medicinal herbs, it can sell for 35 to 50 yuan per jin.
4. Golden coin turtle
The golden coin turtle is a very scarce animal-based medicinal herb, mainly used to maintain the yin-yang balance of the human body. The output of golden coin turtle farming is not high, and the scale of farming is not large either, so naturally it is very scarce. In addition, the farming technology for the golden coin turtle differs from that for other turtles, which is also one of the difficulties in farming it.
Overall, with the overexploitation of resources, the quantity of some wild traditional Chinese medicinal herbs is decreasing. In addition to the medicinal herbs above, musk, cow bezoar, cat's claw, bistort rhizome and others are likewise very scarce on the market. The current difficulty lies in how to develop the artificial cultivation industry, so that these scarce traditional Chinese medicinal herbs can be recovered, contributing to the field of traditional Chinese medicine while also allowing growers to obtain better returns.
