Some we found were turning yellow already, some still had green seeds.

Seems like the DNR has been catching a lot of Ginsing poachers lately. They frequently have pot or meth on them too.
Where do you sell it? I do not know of anyone that hunts it up north here.

What insect eats the leaves? Some of the leaves look like a catipeller at a hole in the leaf. What do you do with Ginsing? Is is the roots that are valuable and are they used for a medicine in China. I've seen TV shows where the hunt and dig up a plant and then sell it. I think that was happening in the Smokey Mountains North Caroline. It's the same TV show that has the moonshiners working their stills. National Geographic channel IIRC. That is my channel 35 on WOW basic. But it could have been channel 36 and I can't think of the name of that channel. Channel 37 is Animal Planet and channel 38 is the History channel.
I'm thinking of increasing my internet speed and then getting TV via streaming over the internet and getting rid of cable TV. Fubo seems to have a lot more channels that my WoW basic TV right now.

There are buyers to sell it to. I really don't dig it; the few places we find it it gets rarer all the time, and looking at how many miles you'd have to cover to get a pound, no wonder trespassing is an issue. I've got plants I check on each year, like old friends. The illegal digging is nuts; I saw a trailcam pic of some dude with a sack on his hand. It was taken on the hunting property of the local game warden--who lives across the road! |

You know I wonder what eats the leaves as well. Could be anything. Look at a paw paw leaf some time; no holes!( typically, anyway) The reason they stink is they create their own insecticide. The only reason really to dig it for sale is that it is worth a fortune in China. They attribute all kinds of medicinal qualities to it. If the buyer sometimes pays hundreds per pound imagine what he's getting for it! |

A newly published study from the Business and Economic Research Center at MTSU examines the growing international agribusiness sector of ginseng in Tennessee.
Murat Arik, Ph.D., director of the BERC, led the development of a pilot study to explore global supply chain dynamics for American ginseng. International demand is on the rise for wild simulated American ginseng — especially in China and South Korea — as climate conditions in parts of the United States allow for the cultivation of a suitable alternative to the endangered wild American ginseng.
“The U.S. does not have well-established quality sorting processes, which is where the majority of value is found. For this reason, Hong Kong and other countries exporting U.S.-harvested American ginseng absorb large proportions of the value-creating activities,” stated Arik.
Asian markets have set the price as high as $8,090 per pound for wild American ginseng, with American wholesalers receiving only $1,633 per pound.
The study further examines existing issues to help provide U.S. growers with methods to capture more market share. Research findings indicate Tennessee’s economy has the opportunity to achieve market share by supporting investments in the cultivations and exportation of American ginseng. As of now, Tennessee does not partake in large agricultural ginseng operations.
“The price of ginseng is on the rise because less volume is being circulated while the demand is increasing on the global stage,” Arik said.
The supply path in 2015 for wild American ginseng went from the U.S. to Hong Kong for distribution in the Chinese market. The price points for these stages were: $270 per pound for American farmers; $1,633 per pound for wholesalers in Hong Kong; and $5,376 per pound for retailers/consumers in Asia. The price points found in the research reveal market inefficiencies that short domestic suppliers.
I do not know whether this is for dried or fresh ginseng.

There must not be a lot up here I do not see the Amish hunting it.
Thanks for the replies.
It seems to me that anything rare the Asians will believe it helps them get more satisfaction.

I look for it anytime I'm in the woods. I rarely dig it though. These are some of the biggest ones I've found on our place.   |
