40% of Chinese herbal medicines continue to rise in Xiamen after the year

Business Club February 17th According to previous years, after the Spring Festival, Chinese herbal medicines generally will temporarily “rest” for a while, so prices tend to be quite stable or slightly downward. However, after the Spring Festival this year, they obviously couldn't stand the "lonely" and continued the upward trend since the first half of last year. Nearly 40% of the Chinese herbal medicines on the market have risen to different degrees. The Taizishen is a short time. It has risen more than twice within.

Drought boosts Chinese herbal medicines

“At present, 40% of Chinese herbal medicines have different prices.” The staff of a pharmacy near Jinji Pavilion told the reporter that the price of honeysuckle rose from 250 yuan per catty at the end of last year to 400 yuan now; From December last year, nearly 100 yuan per kilogram rose to the current 300 yuan. In addition, the reporter visited the eight cities and found that the common Anoectochilus on the herbal stand rose from 350 yuan to 280 yuan per catty before the holiday and led other Chinese herbs.

The industry pointed out that the reason for this round of price hikes for Chinese herbal medicines is that natural disasters have frequently occurred in Yunnan, Sichuan, Gansu and other places since last year, resulting in a decline in the output of Chinese herbal medicines and an increase in prices. In addition, in recent times, droughts of different degrees have again occurred in northern regions such as Shandong, Hebei and Henan. This has also led to a decline in the output of some Chinese herbal medicines and prices have begun to rise.

As for whether or not there is any speculation, a senior official of the Fujian people's medicine said that the current drought conditions in Shandong and other places are still not clear, so it remains to be verified. However, according to A Ping, head of Xiamen Research Institute, the speculation of Chinese herbal medicines is not limited to herbal medicine companies. As long as they are profitable, even the bosses of agricultural and sideline products such as rice and garlic are added to the hype. Real estate New Deal hit the property market, does not rule out that there will be some withdrawal of funds from the property market to the drug market."

Chinese medicine also followed up

The price of Chinese herbal medicines continues to rise, and the prices of many proprietary Chinese medicines have also been raised in the near future. "From the beginning of 2010 to date, the price of Dong-E E-Jiao has been adjusted no less than five times." A pharmacy staff in Xiamen told reporters, and not long ago Dong-E E-Jiao announced that the recent E-Jiao block ex-factory price will be raised by 60% again. According to calculations, after the price increase of 60%, the ex-factory price of the Ejiao block will reach 954 yuan per kilogram, and the retail price will reach 1289 yuan per kilogram.

In addition, Pien Tze Huang produced by Pien Tze Huang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Guilin Sanjin Co., Ltd. raised its price by 20 yuan per tablet; Sanjin Tablets produced by Guilin Sanjin was up by 6%, Guilin Watermelon Frost was up by 6%, and Watermelon Frost Lozenge was raised by 8 %Wait.

People in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Haohuihui pharmacy think that for some exclusive Chinese medicine products, the contradiction between the current raw materials is highlighted, and some Chinese herbal medicines are just around the corner. Affected by the increase in cost, the expectation for price increase of Chinese medicine products is relatively strong.

The public raises the “wind of medicine”

In recent years, due to various reasons, Chinese herbal medicines in the market have risen up. Some high-end Chinese herbal medicines have been speculated to be "high prices." The concept of “creating value of Chinese herbal medicines” has also made some citizens “hearty”.

According to Lao Chen, a member of the Fujian Provincial Collectors Association, the collection scope of some collection lovers and citizens has gradually expanded to include ginseng, velvet, Cordyceps sinensis, musk and other valuable Chinese herbal medicines, and high-grade proprietary Chinese medicines such as Angong Niuhuang Pills and Ejiao. . It is reported that an Angong Niuhuang Pill, which was produced only for more than 300 yuan ten years ago, actually patrolled the “high price” of 20,000 yuan online.

Some people also said that the original intention of the drug was not to add value, but the price of Chinese herbal medicines "a change every day", and some even more expensive can not afford, had to hoard in advance. In this regard, experts from Xiamen City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital reminded that if the Chinese medicine is stored for too long, improper preservation methods, etc., will affect the quality of traditional Chinese medicines, reducing the efficacy of medicines, but also endanger life, so the collection is also worthless.

Experts stated that the premise of "preserving and increasing the value of Chinese medicine" must be within the effective shelf life of the drug, and proper preservation methods should be adopted in order to truly "guarantee quality" and "preserve and increase value."
