A Microcosm Of China's Health Industry - Cistanche Deserticola
Feb 26, 2024
China is one of the countries with the largest and most serious desertification areas in the world. The total area of desertified land in China is 2.622 million square kilometers, accounting for 27.3% of the total land area. Mainly distributed in the northwest and northern parts of North China, involving 18 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government. Preventing desertification is an important issue that urgently needs to be solved in China.

The Hotan area in Xinjiang is a gathering place for Uyghur people, with a per capita arable land area of less than 1 mu. Located in remote areas, inconvenient transportation, far away from international and domestic markets, harsh climate conditions, frequent sandstorms, and a harsh ecological environment are some of the objective factors causing poverty in Hotan. Due to the limitations of special geographical locations and natural conditions, the development of agriculture in Hotan University has been relatively slow, with agriculture dominating the economy and an unreasonable structure of agricultural products.

Professor Cistanche Research on the Growth of Cistanche deserticola
Red willow is an excellent tree species for soil and water conservation, as well as a wind and sand-fixing plant. Its cutting propagation has a high survival rate, strong adaptability, cold resistance, light preference, salt alkali resistance, poor tolerance, drought resistance, and moisture resistance. It is recognized as a salt alkali plant among afforestation tree species in China and is an excellent greening tree species in various saline-alkali areas. Considering the growth environment and soil conditions of Cistanche deserticola, as well as the growth rate, adaptability, and seedling survival rate of Red willow, planting Red willow as the host for artificial cultivation of Cistanche deserticola in the Hotan area of Xinjiang is the most suitable.

Planting of Cistanche deserticola
With the implementation of the major strategy of Western development, China has invested huge funds and manpower in wind prevention, sand fixation, and improving the Western environment, achieving tremendous achievements. However, these methods are passive desertification control with high investment and cost, and cannot generate economic value. Tubular Cistanche is a parasitic plant that parasitizes the roots of red willows. While developing the cultivation of Cistanche deserticola on a large scale, it is first necessary to plant red willows on a large scale. Planting Cistanche deserticola not only plays a role in preventing and fixing sand, controlling deserts, and improving the western environment but also promotes the prosperity of local ethnic minorities. Therefore, the Guanhua Cistanche industry is an ecological industry that integrates economic benefits, ecological benefits, environmental benefits, and social benefits.
Hetian Dichen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has been committed to the comprehensive development of the top ten precious Chinese medicinal materials and Xinjiang's characteristic advantageous resource product Guanhua Cistanche for many years. It is a modern high-tech enterprise that integrates product research and development, processing, extraction, and sales.
Di Chen brand Kang Ka Pian is the company's flagship product.
The company is the only enterprise in China's Cistanche deserticola industry that has an extraction workshop and has obtained GMP certification and production license. The extract of Cistanche deserticola has been exported to countries such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and the European Union for a long time. The annual production of Cistanche deserticola worldwide is 8000 tons, of which 6000 tons have been acquired by Emperor Chen. Hetian Emperor Chen is undoubtedly the leader of the world's Cistanche deserticola industry.

The company will impart the technology of scientific planting of Cistanche deserticola to local farmers and herdsmen free of charge, guiding them to carry out the correct scientific technology of artificial inoculation, planting, and harvesting of Cistanche deserticola. The production of Cistanche deserticola has been greatly increased. Through patented inoculation planting technology, the artificial cultivation of Cistanche deserticola has increased from 10 kilograms per mu to 100 kilograms per mu, increasing the added value of Cistanche deserticola and significantly increasing the income of local farmers.
Di Chen Sha Sheng Pharmaceutical Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Di Chen Company, is located in Minfeng County, Hotan Prefecture. Currently, it has a 5000-acre GAP planting base for Cistanche deserticola. Emperor Chen Company collaborated with Peking University and China Agricultural University to build a 3000-acre national seed base, and signed a 300000-acre "company+farmer" targeted raw material acquisition and planting base for Cistanche deserticola in seven counties and one city in the Hotan area.

The industrialization path of Emperor Chen Company not only meets the market demand for Cistanche deserticola but also protects wild resources. What is even more valuable is the governance of large deserts, forming a new model of sustainable desert governance with Chinese characteristics, which has received high attention from international desertification control organizations, and has also set a model for the protection of rare and endangered wild species, achieving huge ecological, economic, and social benefits. Especially in the southern Xinjiang region, it has played an important role in the prosperity of farmers and herdsmen, the development of characteristic industries, and the maintenance of border stability. For example, in October 2013, only 4000 tons of fresh Cistanche deserticola were harvested in Tian County, with a yield of over 300 kilograms per mu and a direct economic benefit of 32 million yuan. There are over 3000 households engaged in planting, with an average annual income increase of 10000 yuan per household. Some large planting households have an annual income of hundreds of thousands of yuan. In 2014, the production reached 10000 tons, and the direct economic benefits reached 80 million yuan.

The Guanhua Cistanche industry has enormous ecological value (windbreak and sand fixation), social value (promoting employment and wealth for the Uyghur people), and economic value (a huge market for the big health industry). Hetian Dichen is committed to organizing the Guanhua Cistanche industry chain, driving upstream and downstream linkage, fully unleashing the value of the industry chain, and becoming a leading enterprise in China's health industry.
