Analysis of Main Demand Products and Enterprises of Pachyrhizua Angulatus

Pachyrhizua angulatusthe amount of consumption is much larger than the amount of medicinal use
Powdered kudzu is a dual-use species for medicine and food, and is mainly for consumption, generally 70% for consumption and 30% for medicinal use.
In Guangdong Province, for example, powdered kudzu has become a common household ingredient, which can be used for frying, chilling, soup and congee; it is indispensable for local people. At the same time, kudzu is also exported from Guangdong and Guangxi to Hong Kong, China, as well as Singapore and Malaysia every year.
The supply of real medicinal kudzu in the market is limited, and, except for the content at the reed head, the active ingredient content of annual kudzu is hardly up to standard. Therefore, the powdered kudzu is mainly circulated in the market in three sizes: dice, slices and strips, and the demand for finished medicine is mainly for Chai Kudzu root, with limited amount of powdered kudzu.
According to the statistics of Tiandi Yuntu Chinese medicine industry big data platform, powdered kudzu root is mainly consumed in edible channels, and the demand for powdered kudzu in 2020 is 38,800 tons, and the demand for powdered kudzu in 2021 is about 37,860 tons.
Among them, the consumption of medicinal channel is less than 15%, only about 5600 tons (mainly the drinking channel), and the others are basically made as ingredients or soup material.

The future market forecast
1 Pink kudzu market is at a low price, but farmers have a good income Although the current price of pink kudzu rose by more than 40% compared to the lowest point in February 2021, its price is still at a low level compared to other species. Even as a vegetable, the price of kudzu at $1.60/catty is not high. But because of the fresh yield of 4,000 pounds per mu up and down, the gross revenue per mu is 6,500 yuan up and down, excluding costs, farmers can gain more than 3,000 yuan per mu. Although the low price but the profit is still available, but also the main reason why the price of the species is not high year-round.
2 Edible demand increased medicinal demand stagnation In recent years, with the increased awareness of people's health care, powdered kudzu in food therapy, medicinal supplements and other aspects of consumption is increasing. The demand for edible use has increased greatly and the amount of medicinal use is low, so once the medicinal use increases, the edible stock part can quickly replenish the gap.
To sum up, the origin and processing of powdered kudzu is relatively concentrated, the source of goods movement is easy to control, and more concerned merchants. But because the current price of 12 yuan is not as high as the historical price of 28 yuan in 2014, but farmers have a good income, there is still planting enthusiasm, the market price even if there is an increase, there will not be much space.
