Market review

    Sophora flower saw poor harvest in 2008 and prices surged to 18-18.5RMB/kg at the highest.But the depression extremely decreased the demand for rutin in domestic and overseas market .Many firms had to stop supply this product.Sophora flower met good harvest in 2009 and prices fell back to 8-10RMB/kg.Meanwhile,the market showed signs of recovery with stable market prices.
