Is there room for amber beeswax to appreciate?
The following will be demonstrated from three aspects.
I. International Environment A great event happened at the end of 20 17! Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a new amber and jade law and began to strictly control the export of beeswax. Effective date of the law is 65438+February 2 1! In fact, since Russia restricted the export of amber on 20 14, the price of beeswax raw materials has been on the rise. Unexpectedly, at the end of 20 17, Russia introduced the strictest export policy to restrict amber raw materials, and Ukraine and Lithuania successively controlled the export of raw materials.
The legal provisions are as follows:
1. Individuals who illegally hold, transport, process and sell amber (including jade and semi-precious stones) will face a fine of 200,000-600,000 rubles. (A fine of at least 20,000 RMB)
2. The company will face a fine of1-60 million rubles for illegally possessing, transporting, processing and selling amber (including jade and semi-precious stones). 65438+February 2 1 takes effect! (A fine of at least RMB 200,000)
It is understood that up to now, many countries have seized hundreds of tons of amber beeswax, most of which were sent to Chinese mainland. Because this export volume is too large, it seems that the Russian government has made great determination to protect this non-renewable resource. As we all know, more than 80% of amber beeswax raw materials come from Russia, and the new amber regulations introduced by Russia will undoubtedly make raw material prices fluctuate greatly. According to the huge domestic demand, the market trend of 20 18 amber will start to rise again.
Second, climatic conditions.
Every year 10 and at the beginning of 1 1 0, the Kaliningrad region begins to freeze. In addition, the traditional amber mining method is water washing. Amber mining was not greatly affected in the winter around zero in Russia in previous years. However, the temperature of MINUS 4 degrees this year, the shovel has been unable to dig the soil. Once it drops to MINUS 10 degrees, not to mention the shovel, even the pile driver can't handle this frozen soil, and the workers in the mining area can't work in the sea normally.
This industry really cannot go against the laws of nature. At this time, it is not a question of whether anyone is willing to steal amber, but that the weather can't mine amber at all. This will lead to the reduction of raw stones in the market, and there will be no new products before next summer, so the price of beeswax can only be more expensive.
Third, since the market environment prohibits the export of Russian rough stones, some people may think that we should just buy finished products. Please remember these eight words: fake goods are rampant, and the real goods are sky-high This is the true portrayal of Russian beeswax.
As a famous beeswax street in Russia-Neva Street, high-quality beeswax is rarely seen, and the display in the window is basically fake! Suppression, second generation, plastic everything!
In short, in such a harsh international environment, difficult climatic conditions and chaotic fake market, the price of beeswax will only go up at 20 18. Friends who have beeswax really should cherish it.
