Cordyceps sinensis on in both traditional Chinese medicine, they do eat is nutritious health treasures, Qinghai Cordyceps in the international market and enjoy high reputation. Currently, it's production in China, about 200 tons per year, of which about 70% from Qinghai. As the Qinghai Cordyceps high quality features, combined with human factors of speculation, it's skyrocketing prices. Field investigation by relevant departments, it's price spikes in recent years the phenomenon and the resulting many problems, in-depth analysis, especially in the fragile ecological environment of the Qinghai destruction of the most shocking, causing concern and the Chinese authorities attention.
First, the hype leading to price increases. It is understood that, within Qinghai Province, Qinghai Cordyceps sinensis and not much in the market, mainly in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian province and some market-oriented. Businesses associated with it in the promotion of new products, Plant extracts exaggerating its "magical" effect and rare precious, under such speculation, it became a cure-all "magic pill."
Second, price increases lead to madness excavation. Three Rivers region to protect the fragile ecological environment, in 2003, Qinghai Yushu, Golog two state owned about 150,000 square kilometers has been established as the National Nature Reserve, Qinghai Province also issued a related management practices is restricted, prohibited Cordyceps taken, but its price soared in recent years, the end of April to June each year, pharmaceutical raw materials the Golok and Yushu Cordyceps rich areas are still nor can it block a lot of acquisition personnel. There are only a year more than 80,000 Guoluo foreign excavation personnel.
The third is crazy excavation led to pasture damage (environmental degradation). A lot of crazy and chaotic into the excavation staff, not only seriously affected the local grassland ecological environment, but also to the local government exert tremendous pressure on pasture management, mainly in two aspects. First, there is no backfill after excavation. Cordyceps dug a minimum of about 30 square centimeters will destroy the grass. Second, access to shrubs for fuel. During the excavation, excavation of people are still in the mountains rolling tents, cooking with local shrubs for fuel. The fungi are parasites that rely on insects Hepialidae these bushes survive, destroy their habitat, making it more and more scarce.
Fourth, pasture damage (environmental degradation) led to the number plummeted. Cordyceps growth cycle of three years, it scattered the spores are concentrated, therefore, often into the film growth. According to the authorities, Cordyceps should not do all the digging, must leave some for the species, in order to facilitate the growth the following year. But now no one to comply with this basic law, the client was incensed that no one had the opportunity to get rich, Chia seed they can not wait to dig out all of the Cordyceps. This sort of "predatory" way of digging the grass, it exacerbated the growth environment, leading to its production was rapidly falling.
Fifth, the number plummeted leading to resource depletion. Northwest Plateau Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, according to survey findings, as early as the 1960s, areas in Qinghai, more than 3,500 meters above sea level in most parts of the distribution of Cordyceps sinensis have now only an altitude of 4,500 meters above the distribution of the local area only. To the early 1980s, most parts of the Qinghai-producing areas have 30 per square meter of about Cordyceps sinensis, now, these intensive Cordyceps group have become extinct, per square meter only remaining 1-5, its distribution range is gradually reduced, resources are endangered.
Sixth, resource depletion leading to price spikes. According to the investigation, the 1970s, Docetaxel high-quality Qinghai Cordyceps price per kg $ 21. Cordyceps now has the best products the market price per kilogram of $ 180,000, Cordyceps King of Kings is as high as 30 million yuan per kilogram.
To curb excessive growth of Qinghai Cordyceps prices, protect the ecological balance of Three Rivers, it is recommended to strengthen the supervision by the effective implementation of the caterpillar fungus is restricted, the ban on logging so firmly halt excavation crazy phenomenon; increase the controlled clinical studies to provide scientific medicine Cordyceps sinensis efficiency based on a really good job Cordyceps effect of social promotion; to increase market discipline Cordyceps sinensis, and promote market stability and other measures to guide the healthy development of Qinghai Cordyceps industry.
