Where is cumin grown in China?

Cumin is only produced in Xinjiang and the Hexi Corridor in Gansu in my country.

Due to the characteristics of cumin's growth, the average yield per mu is only about 60 kilograms. Last year, the price of cumin started at only about 8 yuan per kilogram, which is more than 500 yuan less than the income per mu from cotton planting. Many cumin farmers switched to cotton planting. For example, the planting area in Toksun County has been reduced from 100,000 mu to 50,000 mu. Affected by the wind and snow disaster, the output of high-quality cumin in Xinjiang has been reduced from 5,000 tons to about 1,000 tons.

The barbecue industry in China is developing rapidly and the demand is too strong. The country has a shortage of 6,000 tons of high-quality cumin every year, which is made up by Gansu and imported cumin. However, the taste of these two types of cumin is not good, and barbecue restaurants cannot attract repeat customers. They can only mix Gansu and imported cumin with Xinjiang cumin, usually between 30% and 50%, and sell it at 14-18 yuan per kilogram. All cumin priced below 20 yuan per kilogram in the mainland is synthetic cumin.
