Introduction: The previous 15 yuan a pound of yellow gardenia, now the price is low, farmers: follow the results of planting.
Known for its natural pigments, gardenia is a medicinal and food dual-purpose plant with a wide range of uses. Gardenia yellow is the yellow pigment in yellow gardenia, which is composed of the carotenoid pigment series of saffron, which is the same as the saffron. In the folk, people use the unique fragrance of yellow gardenia and natural chromosomes very early to make brine or use it for tea.
Commercially, people use gardenia yellow for juice drinks, configuration wine, pastries, popsicle ice cream, puffed foods, jelly, biscuits, candies, and some canned foods, etc., using gardenia yellow pigment, as a food processing process, inhibit 80% linoleic acid oxidation, play the role of antioxidants, green environmental protection is widely used. In addition, in medicine, yellow gardenia fruit has many uses such as liver protection, choleretic, antihypertensive, calming, hemostasis, swelling reduction, etc., under the action of professional doctors, treating patients with related diseases and serving the people.
With the development of the commercial value of yellow gardenia, in the areas suitable for the growth of yellow gardenia, wild resources are increasingly tight, making the water of yellow gardenia rise in previous years, and the purchase price of finished products per kilogram can reach more than ten yuan a catty. To this end, yellow gardenia, which likes temperature, grows in a suitable temperature range of about 18 to 28 ° C, does not have strict requirements for light, likes acid, avoids salinity and water, is resistant to frost, and does not fall leaves in winter, in Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places of hills, forest slopes and barren slopes, the first person to see the opportunity to start planting, rush to the good market to get rich. There is a suitable planting environment for yellow gardenia, and after the neighbors discovered this business opportunity, they immediately followed the trend of planting. Early entry into the industry of the villagers, planting yellow gardenia economic benefits is quite good, after all, yellow gardenia is easy to plant, easy to manage, the investment is not large, and the planting is successful, can be picked for many years, a pound of dozens of pieces, is simply a "cash cow". To this end, it has directly spawned more and more people, thrown themselves into the wave of yellow gardenia cultivation, and made a fortune by planting yellow gardenia.
In this case, more and more people invest in the cultivation of yellow gardenia, the scale of planting is getting larger and larger, when the supply is oversupplied, the market will inevitably be depressed, and the price will continue to fall. This situation is played out every year in the countryside, just like the pig price in recent years, when the overcapacity, the meat price has become the "cabbage price", when due to the influence of African swine fever, the pork gap is large, the two years of pork is "scarce is expensive," meat prices hover at a high level. Yellow gardenia is now facing the problem of oversupply, the scale of planting in previous years is limited, the annual output is in short supply, the price is rising, and it is normal to have a dozen pieces a pound. Nowadays, the price of yellow gardenia has plummeted in the main production areas, and the purchase price of high-quality yellow gardenia has fallen to about 5 yuan per kilogram, while the price of wild yellow gardenia with poor quality is as low as two or three yuan per kilogram. This cliff-like price reduction makes the cultivation efficiency of yellow gardenia almost no money except for various investment expenses, management and labor costs.
Every year in October to November, the yellow gardenia is ripe and picked in batches, and the best picking is when the peel turns green to red and turns red. Worthless people should also be picked back in time, processed and dried and stored well, until the price improves, and sold in time to make some money. After all, anything, when there is overcapacity, will certainly be inefficient, in this regard, the people must know more about the market, reduce blindly follow the trend of planting, so as not to lose more. For example, in recent years, the scale of sugar orange cultivation in some places has been expanding, resulting in the overall downturn in the sugar orange market in recent years, and some people have cut down trees to plant other crops. From this, we ordinary people should learn lessons, so as not to oversupply the crops planted and fail to achieve the purpose of planting.
