Pharmaceutical factory, decoction piece factory has outstanding rigid demand
Ophiopogon japonicus is currently a medicinal and edible species, and the market demand is large. Nowadays, planting and living in Sichuan, Hubei, Shandong, Fujian and other regions are gradually being widely promoted. The market demand is mainly Ophiopogon japonicus, occupying about 60% of the market. The main sources of goods are the market, pharmaceutical factories and food processing drugs. The main channels for the delivery of Ophiopogon japonicus in Hubei and Shandong are the market, pharmaceutical factories and food and health care, occupying about 30-40% of the market.
In the past two or three years, under the background of the national health industry, the Chinese medicinal materials industry has paid more and more attention to the comprehensive factors such as the traceability and authenticity of Chinese medicinal materials, the medicinal use of Ophiopogon japonicus (health food consumption habits), and the increase in food consumption. The quality advantages of Ophiopogon japonicus are prominent, and the demand has increased significantly.
Ophiopogon has a wide range of medicinal values, mainly for nourishing yin, nourishing body fluid, nourishing the lungs and clearing the heart, and can be used as both medicine and food. It is used as an auxiliary medicine for dryness of the lungs, dry coughs, coughs due to fatigue, thirst for body wounds, upset, insomnia, internal heat to quench thirst, dry intestines, constipation, diphtheria and other diseases.
According to the National Catalogue of Chinese Patent Medicines, there are 89 kinds of Chinese patent medicines such as Xuanmai Granules, Shengmaiyin and Qingchunbao produced from Ophiopogon japonicus as raw materials. In terms of foreign trade, Ophiopogon japonicus is an important export product of our country, which is exported to Asian countries. With the development of domestic and foreign medical care and the expansion of foreign trade, the consumption of Ophiopogon japonicus is about 12,000 tons.
Although the consumption growth of cardio-cerebrovascular proprietary Chinese medicines has slowed down compared with the past five years, it still occupies the forefront of sales of Chinese patent medicines, driving the demand for raw materials such as leeches, ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra, and Salvia miltiorrhiza.
Due to the epidemic in 2020, the market in the production area of Ophiopogon japonicus was temporarily sluggish, and the mid-level market price once fell to about 41 yuan for the floor, causing many merchants in the production area to lose more in the first half of last year and sell! Since September last year, due to the improvement of the national epidemic situation, major pharmaceutical companies have also resumed production, which drove the steady increase in the market of Ophiopogon japonicus in the second half of last year, especially the three-level Pingyang feed specification.
Although the price of Ophiopogon japonicus has risen at present, they are naturally unwilling to let it go when the local sellers are not ready to make a move! It coincides with the rigid demand of pharmaceutical factories and decoction pieces factories, and the fact that owners of large-scale goods in the production area tighten the supply of goods in the production area has contributed to the increase in the price of Ophiopogon japonicus.
Ophiopogon japonicus production cuts new grains are small and poor quality
Chuan Ophiopogon is mainly distributed in Huayuan Town, Laoma Town, Yongming Town, Jilin Town, Liuying Town, Xinde Town, Luxi Town, Lingxing Town and other towns in Santai County, Mianyang City, Sichuan. Among them, the Huayuan Town of Santai County is the core planting area of Ophiopogon japonicus and the distribution center of Ophiopogon japonicus.
The new production of Ophiopogon japonicus is generally carried out at the same time as digging and planting. While taking the roots, the seedlings can also be used as seedlings. The cost of developing a seedling can be saved. Therefore, the large-scale development of the planting scale in the early stage is difficult to converge.
Compared with last year, the planting area has little change in the main production area, and the by-product area has slightly decreased. This year’s new Ophiopogon has an overall water weight, a small overall grain size, a poor drying rate, a disguised yield reduction per acre, an increase in labor costs, uneconomical farmers, and a small amount of land exchange in the main producing area for rotation of other crops, resulting in a new planting area of Ophiopogon Slightly less than last year. Growers have suffered a great loss this year due to the dry-drying rate, and the output has dropped a lot. Some of the land parcels have suffered losses, and the enthusiasm for planting has decreased, and the area will not expand.
The flooding from July to August last year caused various major producing areas to be affected to varying degrees. Among them, several high-capacity and high-quality production areas were more severely affected, resulting in a decrease in the quantity of new Ophiopogon japonicus on the market and a significant drop in quality after the year. Look, it is estimated that there will be a reduction in production of about 2000-2500 tons.
The general price increase of Chinese herbal medicines this year is a major environmental factor
This year, most Chinese medicinal materials will usher in the main theme of rising as long as they produce new ones. Perhaps the impact of climate on crops has caused universality. Gradually, global climate issues will be incorporated into many industries and many fields. Waterlogging and drought will have a great impact on the production of a variety, especially the rapid increase in most varieties this year.
Lending loose stimulus by major banks
This year, there is money to enter the production area for speculation, and the violent coming has caught many experienced and large households by surprise. Several hundred tons of goods can be bought in a few days, so that the price of unified goods has risen by more than a dozen yuan, and the operation method is unexpected, the funds are in place, and the people's wishes, small households are also full of confidence! From the beginning of the rise to the current price, there is no slight downward trend. On the contrary, with the recent orders from several major domestic pharmaceutical factories, the market for Ophiopogon japonicus has become more robust!
From the perspective of the external environment, the central bank began to cut the RRR on July 15 this year to release 1 trillion of funds to stimulate the economy, and banks have also extended more loans, making it more convenient for large and small households in production areas to obtain financing.

The price of Ophiopogon japonicus has risen slightly. The market for Ophiopogon japonicus should be able to maintain a high price in the short term run.
