1. Introduction to the Project

1.1 Project background

1.1.1 Product introduction

As an emerging international health food and healthcare market, China has maintained a good development momentum in recent years, presenting enormous market vitality and development space. With the current trend of a new round of health and wellness in China, the market potential is considerable. Traditional nourishing and health products, as well as nutritious foods, are constantly enriching this market.

The project is planned to be built in the Yanji International Airport Economic Development Zone in Jilin Province, relying on the abundant medicinal plant resources and strong foundation of the health food industry in the local area. It aims to construct a large-scale production project for ginseng and natto health products, with the main products being ginseng drinks, natto, and purified ginseng tablets.

1.1.2 Market prospects

(1) Development Status of Ginseng Industry

Ginseng, also known as "Ren Xian", "Gui Gai", "Yu Jing", "Shen Cao", "Di Jing", "Huang Jing", "Tu Jing", "Hai Er Shen", "Bang Chui", etc., is a perennial perennial herbaceous plant in the family Araliaceae.  It prefers a cool and humid climate and grows mostly in coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests or mixed forests on gentle slopes or slopes at an altitude of 500-1,100 meters with small temperature differences between day and night. Due to its enlarged roots, spindle like shape, and often branching, it resembles the head, hands, feet, and limbs of a human, hence it is called ginseng. Ginseng is divided into wild ginseng and artificially cultivated ginseng. 95% of ginseng on the market is artificially cultivated ginseng, and wild ginseng is relatively rare. Artificially cultivated ginseng is divided into under-story ginseng, forest ginseng, and non forest ginseng according to different planting methods.  According to the processing method, ginseng can be divided into fresh ginseng, red ginseng, and vigorous ginseng.

The upstream of the ginseng industry chain is mainly ginseng planting, with ginseng farmers and ginseng planting enterprises as the main players. The middle reaches are ginseng processing enterprises, mainly including ginseng initial processing enterprises and ginseng deep processing enterprises. The downstream of the industry mainly includes two categories: traditional Chinese medicine enterprises and ginseng product consumers. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine enterprises use ginseng as a raw material for drugs, while consumers directly use various ginseng products, including ginseng food, health products, cosmetics, etc.

Ginseng is known as the "King of Hundred Herbs" and "Oriental Divine Grass" due to its magical medicinal and health benefits. It is a dual-use herb with high medicinal value. In addition to being widely used in formula medicine, it has also entered various fields such as health products, cosmetics, food, beverages, gifts, ginseng cigarettes, ginseng wine, ginseng sugar, ginseng tea, etc. In recent years, global ginseng production has steadily increased. By 2024, the global ginseng production reached about 80000 tons. Currently, ginseng is mainly produced in seven countries including R.O.K., D.P.R.K., Russia, the United States, Canada, Japan, and China, with China accounting for more than 80% of the global production.

Ginseng has a long history of medicinal use in China, and it is an essential supplement for ancient emperors and nobles to prolong life and maintain health care. Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, it is very common for people to eat ginseng for health care. In recent years, the production and sales of ginseng in China have maintained a growth trend. In 2021, the output of fresh ginseng in China reached 69850 tons, of which, Jilin accounted for 56.78%, Heilongjiang accounted for 28.63%, Liaoning accounted for 7.37%, and the demand reached 70,031.9 tons. In 2023, the output and demand of fresh ginseng in China reached 76,234 tons and 75,614.4 tons respectively.

The huge market demand has promoted the continuous expansion of the Chinese ginseng market. In 2021, the market size of Chinese fresh ginseng reached 8.502 billion yuan, of which 93.3% will be domestic products and 6.7% will be imported products. With the continuous improvement of the living standard of Chinese residents, people will pay more attention to their own and their families' health conditions, so that health care and health care will become one of the development trends of urban life. Under this background, all kinds of ginseng food and health care products will enter more and more families and become the health care preference of more people. It is estimated that the market size of Chinese fresh ginseng will exceed 10 billion RMB yuan in 2025, and the market size of Chinese ginseng will further expand in the future.

(2) Market Prospect Analysis of Ginseng Health Products

Ginseng, as an important component of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, has a long history of medicinal value and cultural significance. Modern scientific research has revealed the saponins, polysaccharides, proteins, and amino acids contained in ginseng, which have been proven to have multiple biological activities such as regulating the immune system, anti myocardial ischemia, antioxidation, delaying neurodegenerative diseases, and anti-aging.

China has achieved success in the cultivation of ginseng varieties through independent cultivation, which marks the self-reliance and high quality of the industry's basic raw materials. With the gradual establishment and improvement of the regulatory system for health food, the industry is gradually moving towards standardization, enhancing consumers' confidence in ginseng based health food.

In terms of market demand, health food is gradually gaining widespread recognition as an effective means of preventing diseases and promoting health.  Due to the precious and nourishing properties of its raw materials, ginseng based health foods have a dual advantage that drives the steady expansion of the industry. According to market research data, from 2019 to 2024, the market size of ginseng health food industry in China will grow from 10.415 billion RMB yuan to 12.139 billion RMB yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 3.90%. Looking ahead, it is expected that the market size will further grow to 15.104 billion RMB yuan from 2025 to 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.70%.

As a sub segment of the health food market, the ginseng beverage market also has a very broad future prospect. As consumers' emphasis on health care continues to increase, the demand for ginseng drinks will also continue to grow. The advancement of technology and in-depth research will provide more scientific basis for the development of ginseng drinks, promoting product innovation and diversification.

In terms of project implementation, there is enormous potential for development in terms of market demand, resource conditions, and technological innovation. With the increasing awareness of health among people, the market demand for health food and solid beverages continues to expand, providing a b=road market space for this project. At the same time, regions such as Antu County have abundant agricultural resources, such as high-quality Chinese medicinal herbs, fruits, vegetables, and unique mountainous water resources, providing high-quality raw material guarantees for the production of high-quality food. In terms of technological innovation, the project actively introduces and applies advanced production technology and management experience, increases research and development investment, strengthens technological innovation and product development, and continuously improves product quality and competitiveness. In addition, we will carry out industry university research cooperation with universities, research institutions, etc., promote the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, and provide technological support for the long-term development of the project.

In summary, this project is not only expected to become a new engine for regional economic development, but also to create more employment opportunities and economic benefits for local residents, promoting social harmony and economic prosperity.
