2. Analysis of influencing factors

Flos lonicerae made in various regions are newly launched

Shandong Pingyi production area: Shandong Flos lonicerae head stubble production is coming to an end, and a large number of dried products have begun to be listed and traded. As the market stabilizes, merchants have recently begun to actively purchase goods, which has led to an acceleration in the supply of goods. The market has increased slightly compared with the previous period, but the overall market has not changed much.

Shandong growers have a trading habit, which is to sell the inferior goods in the early stage, and keep the good ones in the back before selling. This happens every year. Therefore, the largest quantity of goods on the market is still mainly leaf goods and pharmaceutical factory goods. At the same time, Shandong goods are mainly sun-dried goods. At present, the supply of goods is still damp, and the dryness is still a little bit low. Therefore, as the source of decoction-grade goods, small-batch transactions are still the main.

Hebei Julu production area: The second production of Flos lonicerae in Hebei has already begun. Recently, there are more purchasers, which has led to a significant rebound in the market. The current transaction price of fresh goods is about 26 yuan, special grade goods 145 yuan, and first-class goods 135 yuan. Grade goods 120 yuan (yellow bars account for 40%).

Hebei is the first to enter the new Flos lonicerae production area, mainly processing green flowers on kang goods, and it only takes 18 hours to go from fresh goods to dry goods. Therefore, the large number of listings in the short term and the wait-and-see attitude of the merchants made the already stumbling market even more embarrassing. The first-class goods (green flowers) in the production area fell to 125 yuan at the lowest.

New Flos lonicerae has a large output

The new Flos lonicerae production cycle is longer, followed by the second crop, the third crop, and the fourth crop.  The cycle is as long as four or five months.
