Is the initial investment cost of planting medicinal materials in rural areas high?

The cost of planting Chinese medicinal materials is high, especially some precious medicinal materials, such as Rhizoma Bletillae, Rhizoma Paridis, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Radix Bupleuri, etc. However, whether we can get high returns is personally related to the quality of the medicinal materials finally planted and the market conditions at that time.

Gastrodia elata is a valuable Chinese herbal medicine, and it is also a domestic specialty. Analysis of planting benefit. At present, the market price is as high as 80 yuan/Jin (dry goods). The fresh yield of one mu of gastrodia elata is about1.2000 kg. According to the drying rate of 4: 65,438+0, 3000 kg of dry products can be produced. The market purchase price is 80 yuan/Jin, and the output value per mu can reach 240,000 yuan.

Of course, the investment behind the output value of 240,000 yuan is definitely not small. 1 m2 the cost of planting gastrodia elata is 160 yuan, so the total investment of 667 m2 (one acre) is 106720 yuan.

In this case, the planting cost of one mu of gastrodia elata is 106720 yuan, and the profit reaches 133280 yuan. From here, we can know that the cultivation of gastrodia elata is a high investment and can also get high returns.

However, some common medicinal materials, such as rhubarb, can make a big profit with a small investment.

Analysis of planting benefit of rhubarb, also known as horseshoe rhubarb, is fragrant, bitter and slightly astringent, and can purge fire, clear heat and remove blood stasis.

Expenses in the second year: labor costs, including fertilization, planting, weeding, digging, thin skin, etc. * * * 1.200 yuan, and the expenses incurred by sun drying, probably around 200 yuan. Then, the total expenditure in the second year is 1400 yuan.

The total expenditure for two years is: 29 10 yuan. Profit: one mu of rhubarb produces dried products 1200 kg, the price is 9 yuan/kg, and the output value is 10800 yuan, minus the cost of 7890 yuan.

Although the income of Chinese herbal medicines is considerable, the initial investment is too large and there are many uncertain factors.
