Analyze the Deep Contradictions behind the Price Increase of 84% Chinese Medicines

Business Club December 23, according to the Voice of China "News aspect" reported that the prices of Chinese herbal medicines all the way up all the way, the national market, 537 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, 84% are rising prices. The large increase in prices and wide range of prices are unprecedented. Under the background of the current domestic and foreign demand for Chinese herbal medicine doubled and increased each year, what are the reasons for the constant madness of Chinese herbal medicines? Behind the price, what are the deeper contradictions?

Ms. Zhao, who lives in Shizhong District of Jinan City, has always had old problems of insomnia. From time to time, she needs to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning. However, when she goes to the pharmacy to catch the same medicine, she has to pay a lot more this year than in previous years.

Ms. Zhao: I think it is all up, and honeysuckle this thing I think is very common, 10 grams rose more than four, rose too fast, and rose too high.

Also surprised at the price of Chinese medicine is Liu Yantong, an old Chinese medicine practitioner at the Qilishan clinic in Jinan.

Liu Tongtong: The price of Chinese medicine is soaring. The taste of peach kernel is only a dozen of kilograms. It is now 80 kilograms per kilogram. Another example is honeysuckle, which is commonly used in honeysuckle. Ten dollars before three years ago. One kilogram, now more than 10 times, more than 200 dollars a kilogram.

The rise in prices of Chinese herbal medicines has put pressure on many pharmacies. Chen Ying, the manager of the Qiluo Kangda pharmacy, told reporters that when preparing a batch of goods, they often need to prepare more funds.

Chen Ying: From the beginning of this year, traditional Chinese medicines have been continuously rising, especially the price of Chinese Herbal Pieces, which have basically doubled. In the purchase, it was found that there are basically 50 varieties of 50 varieties in price increases.

According to the statistical data of the Chinese Medicine Association, 84% of 537 Chinese herbal medicines on the national market have risen in price, or between 5% and 180%. Why does the price of Chinese herbal medicines, which have always been tepid, have such an abnormal performance this year? After an in-depth investigation, the reporter discovered that the shortage of medicinal materials and the serious imbalance in the relationship between supply and demand are the root causes of the increase in prices of Chinese herbal medicines this year.

First of all, looking at demand, in recent years, the demand for Chinese herbal medicines in the international community has grown rapidly. At the same time, as people's understanding of the health effects of Chinese medicine has increased, Chinese medicine has become more widely used in many fields such as beverages, foods, and cosmetics. The demand is increasing. In Linfen, China's main producing area for honeysuckle, a dealer told reporters that most of their honeysuckle was bought by large beverage factories.

Dealer: From the old veteran, Wang Daoji of JDB, and Wang Laoji from Guangpharm Medicine, now appearing again, and Wahaha, these relatively large-scale beverage factories have risen up to a large amount.

Second, look at supply. In recent years, with the acceleration of industrialization, human activities have intensified and the environment in which many wild medicinal herbs survive has been destroyed. According to surveys, the reserves of wild medicinal herbs in China have declined by more than 30% annually since 2000, and the total output of medicinal herbs has declined by about 20% annually.

Wang Weisheng, Director of the Department of Wildlife Conservation of the State Forestry Administration, said that the excessive consumption of resources has added to the crisis in the development of Chinese medicine.

Wang Weisheng: In the past, the annual consumption of musk was close to 4 tons, but now the country has reduced to only 500 kg per year. The fundamental reason for this is that our resource situation has not allowed excessive consumption. In this case, it really gives rise to the development of Chinese medicine, and the source of resources faces a crisis.

Under normal circumstances, the yield of wild herbs is insufficient, and they can be replaced with home-grown herbs or used as mainstream raw materials. However, in recent years due to a variety of reasons, the production of home-grown medicinal herbs has also been reduced, such as: young and middle-aged labor to enter the city to work, the lack of major labor force production of medicinal herbs; low drug prices, high cost, poor efficiency, the enthusiasm of farmers is not high.

Some experts have estimated that the national acreage of medicinal herbs in 2008-2009 was reduced by more than 40% from 2002-2005 in the highest period.

Zhang Guijun, president of the Chinese Medicine Commodity Association of China, said that farmers would not receive any benefits after they were planted. There would be no point in replanting them.

On the one hand, the market demand at home and abroad continues to increase. On the other hand, the output of both wild and domestic herbs is shrinking, and the gap is growing. The Chinese medicine market has formed a seller’s market, and the overall price increase has become a kind of inevitable.

Therefore, many people in the industry are calling for the protection of rare and endangered Chinese medicine resources. The government must adopt laws and policies and other measures to strengthen the protection of the production of precious wild medicinal materials. Enterprises should increase scientific and technological research and development, and strengthen ties with farmers, expand planting and breeding areas, and ensure that this valuable historical asset of Chinese medicine does not exist in our generation. The people's hands have shrunk and even disappeared.
