Panax Notoginseng Cultivation Base

Self-Owned Cultivation Base · Full Process Control · Complete Traceability

From Wenshan Panax Notoginseng Fields to Your Brand: A Closed-Loop Quality System

We do not simply purchase raw materials.
We build quality from the source.

Our self-owned cultivation base in Wenshan allows full responsibility for every batch.
From planting and harvesting to primary processing, extraction, and final formulation, all steps are completed within a controlled system.

This not only affects raw material quality.
It directly determines the stability, safety, and competitiveness of your finished products.

Why a Self-Owned Base Matters

In today’s nutraceutical manufacturing industry, over 70% of companies rely on externally sourced herbal materials (iiMedia Research, 2024).

This model introduces three structural risks:

• Significant batch variability (origin and harvest year differences)
• High uncertainty in pesticide residues and heavy metals
• Price volatility is affecting supply stability

These issues extend beyond raw materials.
They ultimately result in:

• Failed finished product testing
• Fluctuations in active ingredient levels
• Customer complaints and brand trust erosion

Our Approach: Control the First Production Stage

By owning the cultivation base, quality control starts at the source.

This delivers four key certainties:

• Source certainty– 100% self-owned raw materials
• Batch certainty– traceable to specific cultivation plots
• Testing certainty– risks controlled during planting
• Cost certainty– reduced volatility from intermediaries

This is not just supply chain optimization.
It is a systematic elimination of uncontrollable variables.

Base Strength: Standardization Beyond Scale

Core Region: Wenshan, Yunnan

Wenshan is widely recognized as the premium origin for Panax Notoginseng due to:

• Latitude: 23°N (near the Tropic of Cancer)
• Altitude: 1,200–1,800 meters
• Soil: Iron-rich red soil with trace minerals
• Average temperature: 16–20°C
• Annual rainfall: 1,000–1,300 mm

These conditions directly impact saponin accumulation.

Studies show that Panax Notoginseng grown in Wenshan core regions contains 12%–18% higher total saponins compared to non-core areas (China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica, 2023).

Cultivation Scale & Capacity Alignment

• Cultivation area: ~80–100 hectares
• Annual fresh harvest: ~800–1,000 tons
• Equivalent dried material: ~200–250 tons
• Extract output: ~30–50 tons per year

Finished product conversion capacity:

• Capsules (500 mg): ~60–100 million units/year
• Tablets (600 mg): ~50 million units/year

This ensures stable, long-term supply for multiple brands without external sourcing.

Compliance & Certification

• GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) certification
• Organic certification (selected plots)
• Geographical Indication: Wenshan Panax Notoginseng
• Third-party testing reports (batch-level pesticide and heavy metals)

These credentials support both internal control and client regulatory filings.

From Cultivation Standards to Product Quality: Direct Causality

We focus on measurable cause-and-effect relationships.

1. Pesticide Control → Finished Product Safety

We implement stricter-than-national standards:

• Prohibited use of high-toxicity pesticides
• Biological pest control methods
• Annual soil and water testing

Testing benchmarks:

• 500 pesticide indicators tested
• Detection rate: <0.5%
• Exceedance rate: 0

(Source: SGS & CTI annual reports)

Impact:

• Near 100% pass rate in finished product testing
• No need for corrective re-screening

This significantly reduces compliance risk.

2. Growth Cycle Control → Active Ingredient Stability

Key active compounds in Panax Notoginseng:

• Notoginsenoside Rg1
• Ginsenoside Rb1
• Notoginsenoside R1

Pharmacopoeia requirement: ≥5.0% total saponins

Our standard:

• Strict 3-year cultivation cycle
• No early harvesting

Measured results (3-year average):

• Total saponins: 6.5%–8.2%
• 30%–60% above pharmacopoeia standard

Benefits:

• Easier compliance in finished products
• Greater formulation flexibility
• Stronger efficacy claims

3. Primary Processing Efficiency → Ingredient Retention

Active compounds degrade after harvesting.

Industry average processing time: 48–72 hours
Our standard: within 24 hours

Process includes:

• Cleaning
• Slicing
• Low-temperature drying (≤60°C)

Research shows delayed processing leads to 5%–12% saponin loss (Research on Chinese Herbal Processing, 2022).

Processing speed directly impacts final product efficacy.

Full Supply Chain Visibility

We provide a transparent, end-to-end system:

Cultivation → Primary Processing → Extraction → Manufacturing → Packaging

Each stage includes:

• Batch identification
• Linked testing reports
• Production records

Traceability system:

End users can scan a QR code to access:

• Cultivation plot ID
• Planting timeline
• Testing reports
• Production batch data

This supports both quality assurance and brand storytelling.
