In recent years, the price of Panax notoginseng has been a hot spot. Starting from 20 13, the price of panax notoginseng has been rising all the way. Yesterday, the reporter visited a number of shops in the professional market of Chinese herbal medicines in Juyuan and learned that the high price made many businesses afraid to purchase goods.

"The wholesale price of 20 heads of Panax notoginseng is about 1200 yuan/kg, the wholesale price of 30 heads of Panax notoginseng is about 900 yuan/kg, and the wholesale price of 40 heads of Panax notoginseng is 800-900 yuan/kg." This is the price given by many shops when the reporter visited the professional market of Chinese herbal medicines in Juyuan yesterday. Merchants in Liao Jie told reporters that the price of 30 heads of Panax notoginseng in the same period last year was only about 500 yuan/kg, up about 80% year-on-year. "I didn't go to the goods during the New Year, and now I can't sell Sanqi. The price is too high for ordinary people to accept; There are also some big companies that need Sanqi to go directly to Wenshan for wholesale. " The above merchants said.

The price of panax notoginseng has risen too fast, which has made many drug dealers feel the existence of risks. Since 2009, the price of Panax notoginseng has been rising all the way, and farmers' planting enthusiasm is also very high, and the planting area of Panax notoginseng has increased rapidly. According to the data of Sanqi Specialty Bureau of Wenshan Prefecture, the main producing area of Sanqi, in 20 12 years, the area of Sanqi in Wenshan reached 46,206.9 mu, and the output was about 6,500 tons. In 20 13 years, the excavation area is 68 189.6 mu, and the output is not less than 10000 tons; In 20 14 years, the excavation area is about130,000 mu, and the output is not less than 20,000 tons. In addition to Wenshan Prefecture, Luxi, Maitreya, Kaiyuan and Mengzi in Honghe Prefecture are also planted with the wind.

But at present, the market demand for Panax notoginseng is not so great. According to the data, at present, there are 1258 pharmaceutical factories in China that produce drugs based on panax notoginseng, including 323 varieties of Chinese patent medicines containing panax notoginseng, with an approval number of 3207. Coupled with the demand of health care products market and Chinese herbal medicine market, the market demand of Panax notoginseng is about 7000 tons. Cui Mingxiu, president of Wenshan Sanqi Research Institute, said in an interview with the media that Sanqi is already in a situation of oversupply, and the price drop is inevitable.

At present, due to the high price of Panax notoginseng, the business of medicinal material wholesalers is not good. Many merchants visited by the reporter said that they are selling goods that went forward in the past year, and now they dare not purchase them at all, which is too expensive. There are only a few 30-year-old Sanqi medicinal materials left in the store, and they also said, "I dare not purchase at such a high price."

According to industry insiders, this year's Sanqi harvest may also be the time when prices fall. "Due to the obvious oversupply of Sanqi and the economic recession caused by the current high market price, the price of Sanqi may usher in an inflection point during the harvest period."
