One kilogram of Cordyceps sinensis rose to more than 400,000 comparable to a suite in Changsha

Two or three years ago only four or fifty thousand yuan a kilo of Cordyceps sinensis, if you keep it to the present worth can turn a few somersaults. From the end of last year's soaring, to the current good Cordyceps sinensis sold a maximum of 400,000 yuan or more, equivalent to buying small units in Changsha. Correspondingly, the Cordyceps store on the streets of Changsha has also rapidly grown from five stores two years ago to more than 40.

The price "turns the bucket" upwards

In the Changfu dry goods store next to the Mawangdui Market, Cordyceps is sold on the basis of grams: cheaper than 100 yuan per gram, and expensive per gram over 400 yuan. Converted together, the best Cordyceps sinensis costs more than 400,000 yuan per kilogram. “Our Cordyceps is much cheaper than other similar goods in Beijing and other places.” Chang Fuxing’s boss Li Sixi’s reason why the price of Cordyceps began to soar at the end of last year is summarized in two aspects: The demand for Cordyceps is growing in the market. Cordyceps production is getting less and less.

The nutritional value of Cordyceps is increasingly attracting attention from consumers and increasing market demand; Cordyceps can only grow in areas of 3,500 to 5,000 meters above sea level in Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces of China. The excavation season is only one or two months. A limited number. "Both factors together, the price will not rise will not work." In order to purchase the good Cordyceps, Lee six in the two years in the excavation season are eaten live in Cordyceps "grab".

The hotel became the main force for eating worms

Industry insiders estimate that the total amount of Cordyceps consumed in the Changsha market is less than 300 kilograms a year and more than 20 kilograms per month. Cordyceps, which is more expensive than gold, is mainly eaten by people.

“Changsha Upscale Hotel is the main consumer of Cordyceps sinensis.” Li Sixi’s shop is located next to Mawangdui Seafood Market, which is a hotel staff who can easily access the market. A small bowl and a few pieces of duck meat are only priced at RMB 20 or $ 30 at the hotel. If you are accompanied by two Cordyceps militaris, the price is generally three or four hundred yuan or even higher. In addition to the hotel, Cordyceps is another major destination for gifts. “Previously sent bird's nests, and later the bird's nest had something to do, so he changed Cordyceps to a higher grade than bird's nest.” The person in charge of a store at Pozi Street admitted that Cordyceps is “the person who eats does not buy it and the person who buys it does not eat it”. Most of the customers choose Cordyceps which is beautifully packed so that they can be used as gifts.

Investment should be cautious

"At the end of 2010, Changsha's Cordyceps safflower store will have four or five stores, and now it has more than 40." He Xiaoping, who just opened a Cordyceps counter in the lobby of a major hotel on Shaoshan Road, believes that Cordyceps has a huge market potential, with more than 40. There are not many specialty shops.

Some experts also expressed doubts about the soaring price of Cordyceps sinensis. Guo Fanli, a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry of China Investment Advisors Co., Ltd., said that he did not rule out having hot money entering the market for speculation. Coupled with the gift-giving style at the end of the year, some merchants would not maliciously raise the market price to push up the market price, but at the same time, they amplified the pharmacological effects of Cordyceps sinensis through speculation. Coupled with the lack of system management, resulting in Cordyceps prices all the way up. He said that Cordyceps is not equal to real estate and gold after all. If it is used for investment, there are many uncertain factors in its appreciation space, and the risk is relatively large. We should be cautious in doing so.
