The price of Chinese herbal medicines in the country has been falling, and the prices of some varieties have fallen by more than half.

In the past two years, the prices of Chinese herbal medicines have skyrocketed, and "real estate speculation is not as good as speculation." This is a phrase that drug dealers often hang around. However, it is now possible for the herbal medicine merchants in the mass market to agonize. Since the National Day holiday this month, Chinese herbal medicines have ushered in an unprecedented wave of tidal waves. 80% of Chinese herbal medicines prices are falling. Codonopsis pilosula, Radix Astragali, Ophiopogon japonicus The price of the soaring variety was even more suffered.

According to the "Chongqing Morning Post" report, Taizishen rose from 50 yuan per kilogram to 500 yuan, only took more than a year; Sanqi from sixty to seventy yuan per kilogram to six or seven hundred yuan, took less than two years... ... Since 2009, the prices of Chinese herbal medicines have skyrocketed, and many herbal medicines for treating common diseases have become noble drugs, letting the people sigh "it can't afford it." According to the monitoring data of the Chinese Medicine Association, more than 85% of the varieties of Chinese herbal medicines in 2010 had an average price increase of 109%, with 96 varieties growing more than 100%.

“I thought that the market would recover when we entered the traditional boost season.” Yesterday, Huang Zhu, a business owner of the Chuqimen medicinal materials wholesale market in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, said that such a bleak autumn and winter market made him and his colleagues quite depressed.

The reporter saw at his booth that Codonopsis, which was sold for 130 yuan/kg before the National Day, has now fallen to 100 yuan/kg. “At the peak of June, the selling price was still 160 yuan.” In addition, Ophiopogon dropped from the highest 180 yuan/kg to 80-90 yuan/kg, when the return from the highest 80 yuan/kg to 30 yuan/kg, these herbs The most significant decline was.

According to the data from the Chinese Medicines Information Center of the Chinese Medicine Association, as of the end of October, of the 537 varieties of herbs in the country, there were 245 varieties that fell in price year-on-year, accounting for about 46% of the total. The prices of Chinese herbal medicines such as psoralen, raspberry, balloonflower, Chuanxiong, and Asparagus were significantly lower than 50%, and the largest was more than 70%.

Mr. Wang, who works at Tongjunge Wholesale Company, spends half of his time in more than 10 large-scale herbal medicine markets nationwide. He told reporters that last year, a Northeast speculator bought 200 tons of Chuanxi in the lotus pond market in Chengdu. At that time, the market price was 30 yuan/kg, and his 200 tons of Sichuan Chuanxi was equivalent to 6 million yuan in cash. "But now, the price of Sichuan-Chongqing has dropped to 12-13 yuan / kg, I heard that he has not shot, this time a bad loss, the loss is at least 3 million."

Through tactual contact, the reporter interviewed Mr. Li, who runs a medicinal herb store in the Hebei Anguo Chinese herbal medicines market. He told reporters that he would enter the goods every two or three months. Generally speaking, the price of Chinese herbal medicines will not be within two or three months. There will be much change. However, recently his intestines have regretted the blue, "he married 500 kilograms of Ophiopogon japonicus, that the price will rise, I did not expect Ophiopogon directly from the highest peak of 120 yuan / kg directly fell to more than 50 yuan / kg, the original 60,000 yuan It has shrunk more than half."

He told reporters that many dealers in Hebei Anguo have hoarded Chinese herbal medicines. There are also speculators in Chongqing. Codonopsis, Panax notoginseng, and Sichuan-Chongqing are all hoarding hot products. One of the dealers he knew had lost a million-dollar BMW.

The sharp drop in the price of this round of plunge, and the rapid pace that many pharmaceutical companies have caught off guard, why not? "There are too many speculators, and they are all throwing up goods." Yesterday, Mr. Wang told reporters. He disclosed that the price of Chinese herbal medicines has skyrocketed since 2009, allowing a large amount of hot money to flow into the drug market. Many Wenzhou real estate speculators earn a lot of money by relying on Cordyceps sinensis in these two years. He also heard that a business household selling sugar cane in the Panxi fruit market in Chongqing last year also smashed into the drug market and took a car.

Mr. Li also said that since last year, the market has made many faces. Some of the original is to do real estate, and some are to do steel, and even large businesses selling fruit and vegetables are to pick up the goods. In the second half of this year, the state introduced policies to curb hoarding of medicinal herbs, and many small speculators were trapped.

Jia Haibin, deputy director of the Chinese Medicinal Materials Information Center of the Chinese Medicine Association, also stated that the large amount of medicinal herbs that the speculators had accumulated could not be sold, and the country’s successive suppression of prices made them panicking. Then, the large-scale disposal of goods caused the downward trend of Chinese herbal medicine prices to accelerate. .

"Pharmaceutical purchases are buying or not buying. Now that the popularity has spread, the procurement companies have temporarily stopped purchasing, the industry is in a downturn, and business is difficult to do." Mr. Li said that he is busy with the rest of the Ophiopogon. Even if he took over more than 40 yuan, he would also like to sell.

However, for ordinary citizens, the sharp price cuts of Chinese herbal medicines may be good news. Ms. Wang, who lives in Jiangbei District of Chongqing, entered the ranks of Chinese medicine consumers this year. She went to the Western Medicine City every month to buy 100 grams of astragalus soaked in water, but she recently discovered that 1 month ago, the label also reads 1 yuan per 10 grams of astragalus, now only 0.43 yuan per 10 grams. "When I bought 100 grams, I saved 5.7 yuan."

Not only that, she was also surprised to find that Codonopsis, which sold 8.5 yuan one or two months ago, has now fallen to 7.3 yuan. "Not only codonopsis, but several kinds of medicinal herbs have been reduced in price."

Reporters visited and found that some of the pharmacies such as Tongjun Pavilion and Western Medicine City have seen price cuts in Codonopsis, Pinellia and Huangqi, but the decline is not significant, and they are mostly around 10%. According to the person in charge of the western drug city, some medicines were hoarded before use, and it would take some time to complete the inventory. Therefore, the large-scale price cuts of retail pharmacies may have to wait until the end of the year.
