KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- With a theme centred on developing Guan Xian’s fertile land of glossy ganoderma (a type of mushroom), the China Guan Xian Glossy Ganoderma Whole Industry Chain Development Conference was held from August 19 to 21 in Liaocheng, Shandong Province, China.
The conference offered insights into the achievement of quality development of the glossy ganoderma industry and posed solutions for overall industry chain development in Guan Xian, the People’s Government of Guan Xian said in a statement.
Guan Xian, which is home to more than 10,000 glossy ganoderma greenhouses covering an area of over 600 hectares, currently has an annual output of 12,000 tonnes of mushrooms and spore powder, more than 400,000 bonsai pots, and an annual turnover of about RMB2.56 billion (RMB100=RM65.36)
It has become China’s largest glossy ganoderma planting and trading base, the products of which are widely distributed to major Chinese herbal medicines and pharmaceuticals wholesale markets, as well as to 20 countries and regions including South Korea and Singapore.
As one of the precious Chinese herbal medicines, glossy ganoderma is a medicinal fungus mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions.
It is regarded as a “magical herb” in Chinese folklore. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that glossy ganoderma has effects on improving memory, regulating immunity, relieving fatigue, anti-coagulation, and bacteriostasis.
In recent years, Guan Xian has made every effort to take its glossy ganoderma industry to the fast track of development.
