TOPIC: wild ginseng price

Hi from Pennsylvania,

I have about 6 pounds of dried wild ginseng roots, around 10-12 years old. I have talked to few ginseng dealers here in Pennsylvania and got some mixed prices. Does anyone know or suggest that what the fair price for my dried wild ginseng roots this time?? What is the wild ginseng price in 2008??

As of early of 2008(January), wild ginseng price is about $1000/lb dried depends on their qualities but anywhere between 10-12 years should fetch around that price. My suggestion is to call around..even out of state dealers as well. Before you sell them, make sure you certified them to meet the wild ginseng regulations. The price for woods-grown is between $350-$500, wild-cultivated ginseng should fetch around from $700 to close to wild price..but it all depends on what kind of quality ginseng roots you've got. The \"quality\" often means the age of ginseng. Hope this helps!

Whats the differences in these types of ginseng: wild ginseng, woods grown ginseng and cultivated ginseng. I have some ginseng i would like 2 sell and live in Ky as well. where can i get a list of buyers around here fro my ginseng? Any help is greatly appreciated

In PA, I can go online to the DCNR (dept. of conservation and natural resources) and get a list for PA dealers. I don't know what KY has for that similar organization or even if that is who to contact but, you could start there. You could maybe even Google KY ginseng dealers and see what comes up. Good luck.
