According to the administrator of the base of Fannie Mae Medicinal Materials Company, in recent years, with the continuous development of new drugs based on Chinese herbal medicines at home and abroad, and the serious imbalance between supply and demand of wild Chinese herbal medicines, the demand for Chinese herbal medicines has increased year by year, with huge market potential and broad prospects. If all the idle dry land in the county can be interplanted with Chinese herbal medicines, not only ecological benefits can be produced, but also huge economic benefits can be obtained.
