The Crux Of The Difficult Industrialization Of Cistanche Deserticola Lies in The Supply Of Raw Materials

In recent years, driven by interests, Cistanche deserticola has been indiscriminately mined, which not only causes serious damage to the desert grassland vegetation but also makes the wild Cistanche deserticola resources near depletion. The investigation of relevant departments in recent years shows that Cistanche deserticola deserticola is widely distributed in western China, but its output is very small, with an annual output of fewer than 500 tons. According to statistics, the annual demand for Cistanche deserticola in the domestic market is about 3500 tons. So, the phenomenon of indiscriminate picking and digging of Cistanche deserticola deserticola is getting worse.

Cistanche deserticola deserticola is a special parasitic plant. Its narrow living range, low genetic diversity, uneven seed maturity, low viability, and difficult seed germination lead to long sprouting time and low sprouting rate of Cistanche deserticola deserticola. All these are the internal reasons why Cistanche deserticola deserticola deserticola is endangered.

To achieve sustainable development of Cistanche deserticola, establishing standardized planting bases for Cistanche deserticola is the most effective way to achieve sustainable utilization of Cistanche deserticola resources. The results showed that after Cistanche tubulosa was introduced from the western desert area to the North China Plain, the Cistanche deserticola production base was established in the North China Plain, which is a new way to protect Cistanche deserticola resources in other places. At the same time, Tamarix resources in the Alkali soil of the North China Plain can also be effectively used to obtain significant ecological benefits and considerable economic benefits. Therefore, the artificial planting of Cistanche deserticola and the large-scale and standardized construction of the Cistanche deserticola planting base can not only solve the shortage of Cistanche deserticola resources, realize the sustainable development of the Cistanche deserticola industry, but also control Alkalia soil in a large area, and finally realize the unification of economic, ecological and social benefits.

Harvest of Cistanche deserticola

At present, the development of downstream products of Cistanche deserticola, such as alcohol, capsules, and other deep-processing products, is getting stronger and stronger, but the production of Cistanche deserticola has not received enough attention, which is mainly reflected in the less investment in the research of production technology of Cistanche deserticola, and the production base of Cistanche deserticola is not standardized. From the perspective of industry, most of the products are in the pharmaceutical and health products industries, and the development of food products with Cistanche deserticola as the main raw material has not been paid attention to. In the production process, research on the recycling of Cistanche deserticola waste has not been reported.

Cistanche deserticola - a bumper harvest for farmers

According to the different uses of Cistanche deserticola, the production of special Cistanche deserticola is imminent, which requires greater efforts to study the breeding of excellent varieties of Cistanche deserticola and the matching high-quality Cistanche deserticola production and cultivation technology. Because the development and deep processing of Cistanche deserticola series products need Cistanche deserticola as the raw material, the production of Cistanche deserticola with highly effective pharmaceutical ingredients is the initial link in the development and utilization of Cistanche deserticola, and also the most basic and important link. However, driven by the current short-term profits, the production of Cistanche deserticola has not attracted enough attention from the business community and Cistanche deserticola product developers. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the crux of Cistanche deserticola industrialization is the supply of raw materials.
