The current market price of tribulus green goods is around 35 yuan, while inferior goods cost between 27 and 33 yuan.


According to dealers in the Tribulus production area in Inner Mongolia, the production period has ended this year, and the origin of the goods has largely been exported. Tribulus yields are lower this year because of the weather, but the colour and quality are better. The business is optimistic about the future market, and Hand Supply is in no rush to sell, with all items now selling for around 27 yuan each.


Prices have risen for two years in a row.


In October 2012, the price of tribulus skyrocketed from 10 yuan to 17 yuan in 2013. The market surged again in June 2016 to a high of 26 yuan, after which it entered a downward channel and gradually retreated to around 13 yuan in 2018.


In 2019, the price of trips started to rebound to near 17 yuan and remained low in 2020. It was not until news of the 2021 production cut that the price rose again to Rmb23.


In 2022, the market has entered a phase of actual digestion, and the price of travel has been fluctuating around 23 yuan. News of the production cuts spread in Inner Mongolia and other major production regions after the new 2022 production schedule was announced. Two consecutive years of production cuts have led to another rise in tribulus.

According to statistics from the big data platform of the TCM industry in Tiantan, the output of Tribulus tours will be about 1,382 tons in 2020 and about 1,187 tons in 2021.


Fourth, increased demand


Tribulus is one of a small number of drought-tolerant and rain-tolerant plant varieties, most of which are supplied to markets for wild products. Market consumption of the variety has been increasing in recent years, primarily because it can be used to extract saponins from Tribulus terrestris. Increased use, increased consumption, and relatively low market supply have stimulated the price of tribulus terrestris.

Including the amount extracted, supply and demand are essentially balanced. In 2021, the number of trips made by Tribulus was approximately 1,020 tons.
