Since 1990, Codonopsis pilosula has experienced three ups and downs in the stormy course of 16 years, with 1 ups and downs in 3-5 years, as well as short-term fluctuations affected by weather changes and the relationship between supply and demand, so there is a saying in the industry that "one is big in five years and three is small". The first issue is 1990- 1993. After 1990, due to the gradual establishment of the market economy system and the deepening of reform and opening up, the demand for codonopsis pilosula increased year by year, and the price gradually rose from around 5.5 yuan to around 199 10 yuan in the second half of the year, and then to more than 20 yuan in July of 1992. Due to the development of production in that year, the new output was large in the second half of the year. 1993, stimulated by high prices, the planting area of codonopsis pilosula rapidly expanded to nearly 70,000 mu, and the output increased significantly, which was seriously in short supply. The price of Codonopsis pilosula dropped from 16 yuan to 13 yuan, and it was about 194 in 3 yuan. The second issue is 1994- 1999. The price of 1994 bottomed out, and merchants actively bought and hoarded, and the price rose to 6-7 yuan of 1995. 1995-1998, the main producing area of Codonopsis pilosula has been in drought for three consecutive years, and the output of Codonopsis pilosula has been declining year after year, with the price rising steadily, from 6-7 yuan in that year to 7-8 yuan in 1996, and then to 16-65438+ at the end of 2097. In May and June of 1998, the price of Codonopsis pilosula rose to 18-20 yuan, and then gradually fell back, and stabilized between1998-16-17 yuan in 0999, with the highest price19. The third cycle is 2000 -2002. Due to the high price for three consecutive years, the large-scale development of Codonopsis pilosula and the reversal of supply and demand, the price has steadily decreased, from 14 yuan to 10 yuan, and has been stable until the new prenatal 7 yuan in 2002. In 2002, due to the severe drought in summer, the output of Codonopsis pilosula was seriously reduced, and the price rose to 12- 14 yuan at the end of the year. However, due to the large area in that year, the price of new products fell rapidly after they were listed in the spring of 2003. During the period of SARS, the prices of all medicinal materials rose, and Codonopsis pilosula once reached the high price of 25-30 yuan, and then quickly fell back with the control of the epidemic. In the following two years, with the overall depression of the pharmaceutical market and the influence of pharmaceutical factory certification, the price gradually declined, hovering around 6-7 yuan. During this period, although there are small changes due to various factors, the amplitude is very small and the time is very short. Since 2006, Codonopsis pilosula has entered the fourth price increase cycle. After a short-term price increase in 2002, Codonopsis pilosula entered another four-year bottom price course. Due to the low planting efficiency, drug farmers have greatly reduced their planting. In 2006, the area of Codonopsis pilosula was the lowest in recent years, about170 thousand mu, only about 70% of the previous year. April and May are the season with the largest amount of new products of Codonopsis pilosula, and it is also the golden season for merchants to purchase goods. However, due to the shortage of goods this year, Codonopsis pilosula has changed the history of falling prices of new year's goods in previous years and has always maintained a steady and rising trend. Unified goods have been maintained at the level of 6-7 yuan, especially the small goods used in pharmaceutical factories have been in short supply and the prices are firm. With the long-term high temperature and drought in late summer and early autumn, Codonopsis pilosula was damaged in some areas, and medicinal seedlings were not harvested in some areas. The popularity of Codonopsis pilosula has been greatly improved, and the price has risen rapidly 1.5-2 yuan, reaching 7.5-8.5 yuan in August and September. In September, there was more rain in the producing areas, and the price of Codonopsis pilosula stopped rising and stabilized. 1 1 month later, Dangshen produced a new product. With the deepening of the investigation, the fact that the overall output has been reduced by more than 40% has gradually become people's understanding, which has once again strengthened the confidence of hoarders. Not only local businesses actively buy, but some pharmaceutical companies also stock up in advance. At one time, the price of old Codonopsis pilosula rose rapidly to 10- 12 yuan, and the fresh goods market was booming. After the Spring Festival in 2007, with the gradual exhaustion of new products, the price of Codonopsis pilosula rose all the way again, and it rose to 16- 18 yuan in just two months, and jumped into the middle and high price range. Although Codonopsis pilosula has increased significantly since last year, it has not reached the highest price compared with the historical price. In addition, other varieties have generally rushed to historical high prices, and businesses are generally optimistic about their market outlook. In 2007, due to the limited seedlings, the planting of Codonopsis pilosula decreased by 1/3- 1/2 compared with 2006, a record low. In addition, this year's drought has increased the unfavorable factors for the growth of Codonopsis pilosula, and the enthusiasm of merchants for it has never been higher. Second, the inventory of Codonopsis pilosula

Since the production and sales of Codonopsis pilosula had been balanced before 2002, a small amount of stocks appeared in 2003 and there was more rain in 2004. The new production of Codonopsis pilosula was delayed about 1 month, the market supply was tight, the price rose slightly, and most of the stocks in Longxi and Gangu were sold off. In the spring of 2005, a large number of new Codonopsis pilosula products were listed at low prices. Local Gangu drug dealers bought a large number of hoarding codonopsis pilosula, but most local business households were not optimistic about codonopsis pilosula, and few people participated in the suppression of goods. The inventory of that year was mainly concentrated in Gangu. At that time, due to the price increase of Angelica sinensis, Radix Isatidis and Radix Astragali, the funds of Gangu drug dealers were scattered and the centralized supply was quite limited. In 2005, Codonopsis pilosula produced good weather and a bumper harvest. However, because Gangu people who pressed goods at the beginning of the year did not make money, few people bought Dangshen when it went public. In 2006, merchants from all over the world were optimistic about Astragalus membranaceus, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Angelica sinensis, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis and other varieties, and bought and hoarded in large quantities. In April, the cold spring caused a decrease in the production of seed medicinal materials such as forsythia, pepper, Schisandra chinensis and almond. Gangu people, who have the habit of hoarding, rushed to the production area to grab pepper, Schisandra and almond, and had no interest in Codonopsis pilosula. Codonopsis pilosula is not popular, only a few franchisees. In 2007, the price of Codonopsis pilosula rose, and drug farmers rushed to sell it after a long drought. In less than a month, the origin of the goods was sold out and the inventory was very small. Most of the second-hand goods stored in Gangu and other places for many years have achieved about half of the profits. Comprehensive investigation shows that the huge inventory that many people are worried about does not actually exist. This is also the reason why the majority of drug dealers are scrambling to start at the middle and high prices of 16- 18 yuan. Third, the dosage of codonopsis pilosula.

Codonopsis pilosula is a basic drug for invigorating qi, which is widely used in TCM clinic and is also an important raw material of Chinese patent medicine. According to the statistics of the National Catalogue of Chinese Patent Medicines, there are 305 kinds of Chinese patent medicines made from Radix Codonopsis, such as Shen Rong Pill, Radix Codonopsis Guipi Pill, Radix Codonopsis Guben Pill, Radix Codonopsis Yang Rong Pill, Radix Codonopsis Jianpi Pill, Bupi Pill, Cynomorium Gu Jing Pill and Wenjing Pill. Compound Codonopsis pilosula preparation has good curative effect on acute altitude hypoxia. Codonopsis pilosula has a certain protective effect on cobalt γ -ray injury, which is of great significance in military medicine. According to the statistics of China Medicinal Materials Company in the 1980s, the annual consumption of Codonopsis pilosula is 8,000-9,000 tons, and Codonopsis pilosula is one of the bulk Chinese medicinal materials that earn foreign exchange through export in China. The export volume of 1980- 1988 is over 5,000 tons. At that time, people's living standards were low, and Codonopsis pilosula was mainly used as medicine. Nowadays, with the development of medical and health undertakings and the improvement of people's living standards, Codonopsis pilosula has not only made great progress in medicinal use, but also made great progress in eating mainly as food supplement and health care products. The annual consumption is far greater than that of medicine, except for a few varieties such as licorice, astragalus and white peony, which are all very large varieties. The specific dosage of codonopsis pilosula is discussed in the article "How much do you know about the sales volume of codonopsis pilosula", so I won't repeat it here. Fourth, the production of Codonopsis pilosula.

Codonopsis pilosula used to rely mainly on the exploitation of wild resources, and its production and sales were relatively stable. However, over the years, especially since the reform and opening up and the implementation of the market economy system, due to the loss of the planning guidance of the state-owned main channels, the lack of stable production and marketing policies, the ineffective macro-control of the market, the poor connection between production and marketing of Codonopsis pilosula, and frequent price fluctuations, it has caused great economic losses to drug farmers in the producing areas. However, because of its huge consumption and easy to grow and sell, it has been the main cash crop of farmers around Longxi for many years and the source of income for local farmers, and has been developing steadily on the whole. In recent years, due to the low price of Codonopsis pilosula, the implementation of the national grain direct subsidy policy and the adjustment of planting structure, farmers have developed large-scale efficient crops such as Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, potatoes, vegetables and minor grains, and the area of Codonopsis pilosula has been gradually adjusted. In 2006, the area was the least since 2000, about 1.7 million mu, mainly concentrated in the arid mountainous areas in the north. Due to the continuous drought in spring, summer and autumn, Codonopsis pilosula was affected in 2007. Compared with 2006, the species of Codonopsis pilosula decreased by more than 30%, about 6,543,800 mu, and the normal yield is expected to be about 6,543,800-6,543,800 tons, which is rare in recent years. At the same time, the continuous drought and high temperature weather since this spring has greatly affected the growth of Codonopsis pilosula and Codonopsis pilosula seedlings, laying the groundwork for the supply of Codonopsis pilosula next year. Fifth, the market prospect of Codonopsis pilosula.

According to the production, marketing, storage and business cycle of Codonopsis pilosula, the price of Codonopsis pilosula has already met the conditions of skyrocketing. However, due to the general sharp price increase of varieties in northwest China this year, many merchants have devoted their main energy to varieties such as angelica sinensis and astragalus with higher income, but they have not got enough supply. It is expected that after the profits of other varieties are realized, Codonopsis pilosula will usher in a new round of price storm, which will reach a historical peak by the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 and reproduce new glory.
