What factors influence the price of this Angelica root oil?
Price is driven by Dao-di origin scarcity, extraction technology, marker content, certification and harvest-year supply — the Min County raw material and ligustilide retention are the two dominant cost factors.
Price Drivers
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Origin (Min County Dao-di) | Scarcity premium; ~90% of China's Dang Gui comes from Min County |
| Extraction technology | CO2 and patented low-temperature routes cost more but preserve actives |
| Ligustilide content | ≥45% refined grades command premium pricing |
| Certification | Organic / Halal / Kosher add audit and raw-material costs |
| Harvest-year supply | Weather and planting decisions affect the annual market |
| Volume & commitment | Contract volumes receive stable pricing and priority allocation |
- 2025 national Dang Gui output was ~1,860 t with ~USD 2.37 B industry value; the oil fraction remains a small, high-value slice
- High-end CO2 oil with full traceability can reach ~USD 3,840/kg on export markets (e.g. Japan)
- Lock in annual volume early in the season to stabilize pricing before harvest
We can quote a framework price for 12-month contract supply.
