Why is the price of yam produced in Ruichang, Jiangxi high? Ruichang yam is even more expensive than meat?

The following is the information of Ruichang Yam that I compiled, hoping to help you:

Because the planting conditions of Ruichang yam are extremely harsh, it is suitable for planting on high slopes with an altitude of 300-500 meters, and it has strict requirements on soil, water quality and climate (Ruichang yam is suitable for planting in neutral or alkaline limestone soil with a soil depth of more than 80 cm). In addition, Ruichang yam is a rotation plant. After planting for one year, it will take another three to five years. Moreover, the yield of Ruichang yam is low, and the yield per mu is only about 1000 kg. Therefore, the price of Ruichang yam is higher, which is 3 to 4 times that of ordinary yam. In recent years, Ruichang yam, as a high-grade gift, has been sold at home and abroad, appearing on the dining tables of some high-grade hotels, while authentic Ruichang yam is rarely seen in supermarkets and vegetable markets.

The price of Ruichang yam is so high that many foreign yams also enter the Ruichang market and are sold in the name of "Ruichang yam", which seriously damages the reputation of Ruichang yam. Ruichang yam is obviously different from foreign yam in appearance. Ruichang yam has rough epidermis and many root hairs. Yam is smooth and straight, with few root hairs, which can be seen at a glance. Only the authentic Ruichang yam produced in Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province, tastes authentic. As the saying goes, "oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei" is the truth.

Judging from the shape of yam, Ruichang yam is irregular. Due to soil, water quality, climate and other reasons, Ruichang yam will only grow to one to two feet long and two inches wide. It is brown and full of beards. "I am ugly, but I have a lot of connotation", which is a true portrayal of Ruichang Yam. Ruichang Yam is different from Huai Yam and Tie Yam in the north, with different thicknesses, not necessarily straight and vertical, and some are bifurcated or slightly black spots, which is normal. Not ugly, but delicious! But also does not affect the nutritional components of Chinese yam. Cooked Ruichang yam is not sticky, moderate in hardness and no silk in the middle, and tastes excellent. Unlike ordinary northern yam, it looks thick and beautiful, but it is not delicious. If anyone has a chance to eat the real Ruichang yam, you will be full of praise.

Common yam or iron bar yam are basically long, regular, not far from each other in size, with sparse and long hair, dry skin, dull color and some reddish brown. It is easy to paste after cooking, and some are silky. In the words of Ruichang people, those are "fake" yams, which we call Hongteng and Hu Aishan. The price is only 1/5- 1/4 of Ruichang yam.

What's the difference between Ruichang yam and other yams?

(1) Compared with other common yam, iron stick yam and yam, the content of polysaccharide and glycoprotein is 50% richer. In traditional Chinese medicine, the main function of yam is to nourish the stomach, and the high content of polysaccharide and glycoprotein just plays this role. It is for this reason that Ruichang yam is called Jiangnan ginseng in Chinese medicine.

(2) Compared with the whole country, the taste of unconventional yam is NO 1.

If you eat authentic Ruichang yam, promise not to choose another yam again! Ruichang yam is much more delicious than iron bar yam and ordinary yam! National yam taste NO 1!

(3) No paste after cooking

Authentic Ruichang yam will not paste no matter how you press it in a pressure cooker or how you cook it. Anyone who has eaten common yam such as Tieshan Medicine will know that these yams are easy to paste after being cooked, and some are still silky.

Honors won by Ruichang Yam

(1) In 2003, Ruichang Yam won the title of national A-level green food.

(2) In 2006, the "Unique" brand Ruichang Yam trademark was awarded "Famous Trademark" and "Famous Trademark of Jiangxi Province".

(3) In 2007, Ruichang Yam was rated as a famous brand agricultural product in Jiangxi Province.

(4) In 2008, the trademark of Ruichang Yam was successfully registered.

(5) In 2009, Ruichang Yam was certified as a national geographical indication of agricultural products.

To sum up, the planting conditions of Ruichang yam are bad. Ruichang yam is not a rotation plant, with high nutritional and medicinal value and good taste. The brand effect of Ruichang yam makes its price higher.
