Chapter 447: The Return of "Sam Wang" (3/3)
2010 is destined to be an important time node in the development of the ginseng industry, and the revitalization project of the ginseng industry we promote will be fully launched. Guo Chunfa said word by word.
Qi Zheng suddenly sighed: "Since 04, it's been six years since I came to this point!"
It took six years from the alliance between Jiagu and Zixing Pharmaceutical to promote the ginseng industry to the historical height of strategic emerging industries.
"Yes, the ginseng 'medicine and food homology' policy has been fully liberalized, ginseng is no longer restricted to drug consumption, and the ginseng industry has finally entered a period of rapid development. Guo Chunfa was also full of emotion.
The simple words "medicine and food are of the same origin", whether it is Zixing Pharmaceutical or Jiagu, they have made considerable efforts.
Since the "Ginseng Industry Revitalization Project" was proposed six years ago, hundreds of scientific and technological personnel from eight units, including the Kyrgyzstan Provincial Health Department and the Kyrgyzstan Provincial Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, have selected 12 kinds of ginseng test samples such as red ginseng and raw dried ginseng to carry out safety toxicology research on the application of ginseng in food and the evaluation of ginseng food safety.
At the same time, the Affiliated Hospital of Ji Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine undertook the artificial ginseng human food trial research work, recruited and screened 300 healthy subjects for food trial trial, and the subject population took "five-year ginseng tablets", 3 grams per day, for 12 weeks, which proved to be safe and reliable.
Experimental studies confirmed that there was no toxic reaction to the content of various components of ginseng, and after long-term consumption was safe and reliable, and after two years of pilot in Kyrgyzstan Province, the Ministry of Health approved ginseng (artificial planting) as a new resource food in accordance with the "Food Safety Law" and the "New Resource Food Management Measures", and the industry threshold was fully liberalized.
"The development situation facing the ginseng industry is unprecedented and involves many aspects. ”
"Ginseng Industry Revitalization Project" is inseparable from Jiagu, so Guo Chunfa introduced the current situation in detail, "For a long time, cutting down and planting ginseng is the traditional planting method of ginseng in China, but with the proposal and development of the natural forest resources protection project, ginseng planting has begun to shift from felling and planting ginseng to planting ginseng on flat land (farmland). ”
"In particular, in order to change the blind expansion and low-level construction of the ginseng industry for many years, the area of new forest land planted with ginseng has been controlled at 1,000 hectares every year since last year. ”
"In addition, Kyrgyzstan Province will also plan to carry out a reasonable layout of the ginseng industry, and further promote the construction of ginseng standardized production demonstration bases in key ginseng production areas in accordance with the construction standards of Chinese herbal medicine GAP and green food production bases......"
Qi Zheng listened very carefully.
In general, the "Ginseng Industry Revitalization Project" issued by the government is basically in line with the ideas and directions of the two companies: regulating the scale of production, optimizing the planting structure, opening up the ginseng into food policy, strengthening policy and financial support, and promoting the construction of a standardized system......
As for more, such as building a ginseng brand and increasing industrial integration...... Enterprises are needed, especially leading enterprises, to enter the market.
The reason why Guo Chunfa found Jiagu for the first time was because Jiagu can be called the "uncrowned king" in the ginseng industry.
In terms of scale, the ginseng planting area in Ji Province is about 5,500 hectares, of which 900 hectares are the ginseng planting bases built by Jiagu or through cooperatives.
Not only the quantity is large, but the quality is higher! Of the 12 existing ginseng standardized production demonstration bases, Jiagu occupies 8 of them. Moreover, in the ginseng planting base of Jiagu, more than 90% of the ginseng is more than four years old, and more than 30% of the ginseng is more than ten years old.
After all, ginseng cultivation is different from grain planting, you can plant in spring and harvest in autumn, the growth cycle of ginseng that meets the pharmacopoeia standard is at least four years, high-quality garden ginseng takes five to eight years, and understory ginseng needs at least fifteen years, and it is more scarce and expensive after twenty years.
In terms of prestige, the "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" auction was held for six sessions, and Jiagu occupied the title of "Ginseng King" for six sessions without exception, and at least one century-old wild ginseng was auctioned every year. How much wild ginseng is still in the ginseng plantation where Jiagu has the strictest protection has become a mystery that the people of Northeast China talk about.
In terms of technology, Jiagu Agricultural Resources has developed biological bacterial fertilizer and medium and trace element fertilizer for ginseng planting, which is favored by ginseng farmers.
In order to grow high-quality ginseng, soil improvement and pest control are key. From forest land to farmland, in addition to the technical bottleneck, the improvement of acidified soil is also a major project.
Jiagu's biological fertilizer and medium and trace element fertilizer are essential tools for the improvement of ginseng soil system, and Jiagu also has a mature technical service team and systematic ginseng plant protection solutions, which can help high-quality ginseng planting in an all-round way.
In the main ginseng producing areas of Northeast China, there is a saying, "As long as you use Jiagu's ginseng plant protection services, unless there are special years, ginseng basically does not get sick." ”
The most important thing is that Jiagu has made a breakthrough in the new technology of delayed harvest of ginseng - ginseng is more valuable the older it is, but whether it is in the field or in the medicine cabinet, ginseng is not easy to preserve, and once there is a natural disaster and insect infestation, the loss will be even greater.
However, Jiagu can maximize the ginseng's own resistance, so that it can "grow old and not die" in the ground, which can be seen from the "old ginseng" in the Jiagu ginseng base.
As the largest industrial enterprise in China, Zixing Pharmaceutical is the most sympathetic to Jiagu's influence in the industry.
"In recent years, even if Jiagu intends to extend the growth period of ginseng and control the supply of ginseng on the market, the price of ordinary ginseng is still tepid. But this year it is clear that a tipping point has been reached. ”
"It takes about 5 to 7 years from planting to shipment of ginseng, and this is exactly what happens to create a cycle. The price of ginseng plummeted a few years ago, and the enthusiasm of ginseng farmers declined, and the result was that the supply of ginseng decreased this year. Coupled with the liberalization of the 'medicine and food homology' policy, the number of enterprises purchasing ginseng has increased, and there has begun to be a trend of supply exceeding demand, and the price of ginseng has begun to rise rapidly. ”
Guo Chunfa frowned slightly and said: "What I am most worried about is that many people have seen business opportunities, and their enthusiasm for planting is unprecedentedly high, and they have crazy expansion with the idea of winning with scale, and even some people who were originally engaged in real estate and mining operations also intend to enter this completely unfamiliar field." This situation can easily lead to an oversupply situation and affect the healthy development of the ginseng industry. ”
Qi Zheng nodded in agreement. What a familiar scene, there is no doubt that if there is no standardized management, this situation is almost inevitable - the common problem of domestic agricultural development, rushing up and scattering.
Guo Chunfa said slowly: "Therefore, whether it is Zixing Pharmaceutical or the Ji Provincial Government, we all hope that Jiagu can take the lead in establishing a truly binding ginseng industry association." Kagu, it's time to become a real 'Sam King'!"
