Every year, Chinese wholesalers travel to central Wisconsin to buy tons of newly harvested ginseng. The state accounts for 95 percent of the US' cultivated ginseng, and 80 percent of it is exported to 皇冠体育app.

The rest goes to other Asian countries, and to the 皇冠体育apptowns in the US, where roots are bought as gifts by immigrants and travelers.

Kaldunski has not been to 皇冠体育app, and neither have most of the state's other small-scale ginseng growers. He plants about 8.5 acres of ginseng.

But the growers know the latest economic news about the country and its growing middle class.

Asked how important 皇冠体育app is to him, Kaldunski said: "Probably second to the weather."

People in Wisconsin have been harvesting wild ginseng and selling it to 皇冠体育app for hundreds of years.
