Affected by the drought in Yunnan, the price of Guizhou Sanqi climbed slightly

As the drought continues in Yunnan, the domestic market price of Chinese herbal medicines has gradually increased. The reporters visited the Guiyang Chinese herbal medicines market yesterday and learned that the price of Panax rose slightly, while the prices of most other Chinese herbal medicines fluctuate little, which is a normal range of increase. According to industry sources, natural disasters have a significant impact on prices of Chinese herbal medicines. Guizhou should establish a support fund for Chinese herbal medicines as soon as possible to help support the development of the Chinese herbal medicine industry in the province.

Sanqi rose a lot of herbal medicine prices

“In March and March, prices rose by 20-30 yuan, and other Chinese herbal medicines basically maintained normal prices.” In the Huaguoyuan Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market, Song Fuzhong, the owner of Kefutang, said that Yunnan is an important producer of Panax notoginseng because the drought caused a slight increase in prices of Panax pseudoginseng. However, the prices of traditional Chinese medicines such as Tianma and Taizishen have not been much affected.

According to the monitoring data of the Information Center of Chinese Medicinal Materials World and Tianwang Network, in Yunnan, the price of Panax notoginseng, which has a specification of 120, is 420 yuan/kg, which is an increase of 77 yuan compared with the average price of the market last year, or an increase of 21.81%.

In Huaguoyuan Chinese herbal medicine market, the price of 120 three-seven is between 435-450 yuan, and the fineness is about 500 yuan. The prices of Panax notoginseng with the same specifications of the previous year were also above 400 yuan, and the increase was not significant.

Song Xianzhong explained that because Panax is mainly manufactured in Yunnan, local drug dealers generally have half-month to one-month inventories. Currently, Panax notoginseng sold on the market is mainly based on previous acquisitions. Therefore, drug dealers are only self-employed. Reluctant to sell at high prices, leading to a slight increase in prices. The actual impact of the drought in Yunnan on the price of Panax pseudoginsima in the Guiyang market will take two to three weeks to come to light.

In addition to Panax pseudoginseng, the overall price of Chinese herbal medicines such as heterophylla, Atractylodes, and Tianma in the Chinese herbal medicine market rose slowly. According to some drug dealers, the demand for Chinese medicines has increased year by year. If natural disasters are not encountered, the price increase is generally stable.

Guizhou's output of Chinese herbal medicines needs to be improved

“The price of Chinese herbal medicines has continued to rise in recent years, mainly due to the influence of market rules.” Liu Ling, director of the Agricultural Products Production Management Office of Guiyang Agriculture Commission, believes that although the price increase is related to the speculation of drug dealers to some extent, the main reason is still At present, there is a strong demand for Chinese herbal medicines on the market, but there has been no significant increase in output.

Liu Ling said that Guiyang City, nearly 3,000 types of Chinese herbal medicines, last year's total output was only 9,000 tons, Pinellia, heterophylla and other varieties to be exported, the supply of the market is obviously not enough. This is mainly because large-scale manual planting of Chinese herbal medicines in Guizhou does not take a long time, and the technical experience management system lags behind. Once a natural disaster occurs, it is easy to reduce production or even to produce a large scale.

In addition, the lack of a dedicated wholesale market for Chinese herbal medicines in Guizhou is also one of the reasons for the instability of Chinese medicine prices. Pharmaceutical companies in Guizhou Province have to go to the province to purchase raw materials, and the cost of buying back increases. Therefore, Guizhou Bailing chose to spend a large sum of money in the construction of a million mu Taizishen planting base in Liuzhi early last year.

It is understood that Guizhou is currently only a certain scale for the Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market in Niuda Dachang Town, Shibing County, Southeast Guizhou. Due to the lack of a stable sales market, medicinal herb growers have a certain degree of blindness. The government has not yet established effective risk protection and compensation mechanisms for Chinese herbal medicines. Many individual farmers are unwilling to grow Chinese medicinal herbs.

Insiders: It is recommended to establish a Chinese herbal medicine support fund

It is understood that Guizhou, as a major province of Chinese herbal medicine resources, has identified more than 4,800 kinds of various types of traditional Chinese medicine resources, including 4,419 kinds of medicinal plants, accounting for 35% of the country's medicinal plants. However, large drug companies like Braun in the province face low production of Chinese herbal medicines in the province and they have to purchase raw materials outside the province.

Therefore, there are industry insiders appealing to establish a professional origin market in Guizhou as soon as possible, to reduce the cost of raw material purchases in Guizhou pharmaceutical companies, and to guide growers to plant selectively through the trading market, and to use the company's business model to increase farmers The ability to resist natural disasters and comprehensively increase the yield of Guizhou's Chinese herbal medicines.

In addition, in view of the relatively high number of natural disasters in Guizhou in recent years, it is also possible to imitate provinces such as Anhui to establish a support fund for the development of Chinese herbal medicines for the research and promotion of techniques for the cultivation of improved varieties of Chinese medicinal materials, as well as the construction of drought-resistant and antifreeze artificial facilities for planting areas. .
