Chinese herbal medicine prices are experiencing a collective dive

The herbal medicine market is experiencing pains during the same period in the same period last year. When medicine was insanely crazy, various medicinal herbs changed their prices in turns, and there was a lot of medicine inside and outside the herbal medicine market. Herbal medicine trade was booming. At this time of the year, the market is extremely crowded, and operators are looking to purchase drug dealers. The transformation of the fire and the sky has caused many drug dealers to be overwhelmed.

The author learned from the survey that from the beginning of August last year to the present, the prices of Chinese herbal medicines throughout the country are experiencing the dilemma of collective diving. 90% of medicinal herbs varieties in the market have different ranges of price cuts, and some are slightly corrected, and some are double or several times. However, the price of individual species has dropped to less than 10% during the period of high prices. The dismal level of the market is disturbing, and the entire Chinese medicine industry has encountered unprecedented severe challenges. The herbal medicine market is experiencing painful declines.

Market drug dealers feel the chill of winter. "How this business is done? The family has been busy for half a year and has invested in hundreds of thousands. It has saved some medicinal materials. Not only has it not earned money, it has lost nearly 500,000. It is not yet. Including bank interest and the family's hard labor for half a year.” Talking about the lukewarm business of the herbal medicine market this year, the average boss of the Wangzhou herbal medicine market operating real estate herbs for many years shook his head sadly and lamented to the author, even during the 2008 financial crisis. Business is hard to do now.

Ganzhou is the largest medicinal material market in the country, and 1 million people in the city are engaged in the cultivation, processing and sales of medicinal herbs. The price changes in the Zhangzhou herbal medicine market have a direct impact on the prices of Chinese herbal medicines throughout the country.

Zhang has been working in the herbal medicine market in Zhangzhou for more than 10 years. In March 1998, just after graduating from high school or a young boy, he left his hometown in rural areas and came to the herbal medicine market in Zhangzhou to start his medicinal business.

At the beginning, due to the small amount of funds, I could only do some herbal business. As my business grew, he not only started to use herbs, but also started to switch to expensive medicinal herbs. With his years of hard work, he bought his own house in 2003 and bought a stylish car in 2006.

After more than a decade of market fumbling, he has mastered the market laws and the business has barely lost money, so he was dubbed the “God of the Gods in Zhuozhou Medicinal Materials Market”. This is why the divine god Zhuge has not escaped the medicinal herbs. The bad luck.

Talking about the recent changes in the herbal medicine market, the Zhang plan, which is called "Zhuge Xiaoge Zhuge", is embarrassed to laugh at himself and says, "Several years of hard work and return to liberation overnight." Because of their too much greed The timing of shipments was not well grasped, and nearly two million yuan was lost in the drastic drop of herbs.

Zhou Weibin is an old drug dealer from Henan and has been doing medicinal business for more than 20 years. When it came to the herbal medicine market in Bozhou, there was only about 500 yuan of Henan real estate goods. After years of painstaking efforts, it has now accumulated to more than 2 million yuan. Recently, the business of Lao Zhou was also one day less than a day. In the same period in previous years, it was able to sell medicinal herbs for about 3,000 yuan a day. It is now difficult to sell even 500 yuan a day. In the face of a sluggish market, Lao Zhou looked helpless.

Reasons for the general decline in retrospective prices in the second half of 2009 In the second half of 2009, affected by the "A stream" epidemic and the domestic economy to stimulate confidence in the dual impact of the decline in the pharmaceutical market for many years began to recover, especially the Banlangen from the beginning of the 4 to 5 yuan The highest rose to more than 30 yuan at the end of the year. The emergence of the dark horse breed Banlangen has greatly mobilized the participation of many businesses.

In 2010, severe weather such as droughts, floods, and late springs have been observed in various places. Since there have been few medicinal herbs cultivated and severely reduced due to the impact of natural disasters, many medicinal herbs have risen again. The drug dealers who purchased medicinal herbs in the early stages have all earned a lot.

Zhao Bin, a franchised drug dealer, said that people did not know what was happening at the time. They were like madmen buying goods everywhere, but they had very little to sell. The main reason is who sells who suffers from losses. If you sell 2 tons of plutonium for 20 yuan today, you will have to repurchase 25 yuan after 10 days. Such an improper calculation is a loss of more than 10,000 yuan in 10 days. He said with emotion that at the time it was "who has goods who are uncles," so the buyers were more passive and had to raise their prices to snap up. The market was therefore higher and higher.

Pharmacists selling herbs from the origin of the medicinal herbs will suffer losses, and many farmers will also start selling their products and reluctant sellers. This will cause artificial illusions in the market and “buy medicinal materials can make a fortune” has become a buzzword.

Under this kind of thinking, some laymen who did not engage in traditional Chinese medicine have also joined the panic buying war on Chinese herbal medicines, such as: Henan, Shanxi and other places engaged in coal mining; Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places to engage in real estate; Anhui, Shanghai, In places like Fujian and other places that engage in western medicine, they feel the mystery of the Chinese herbal medicine industry and hear the wind is rain. Only by hearing which medicinal herbs have been reduced or reduced in their use, what kind of products have business opportunities, and they are crazy about hoarding goods. Wait for the arrival of high prices.

A lot of varieties began to change their prices in turns. Qingqi rose from the usual 17 yuan/kg to 25 yuan/kg, rising to 35 yuan/kg at the highest; Chuanxi from 32 yuan/kg to the highest 32 yuan/kg. ; Guang Yujin soared from 9 yuan all the way to the highest 28 yuan / kg. At that time, 98% of medicinal herbs rose in price, and the price increase was staggering. Abnormal prices of medicinal herbs affect normal digestion.

The soaring prices of high prices stimulated the soaring prices of cultivation medicines, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers to plant them. Since the second half of 2010, the cultivation area of ​​medicinal herbs has increased rapidly. Li Dazhao, Tongguan Village, Qidong Town, Xiangcheng District, Zhangzhou City, said that the frenzied rise in medicinal herbs has caused many farmers to be overjoyed and expanded their medicinal herbs. In the first half of 2011, when some medicinal herbs were produced, due to the large number of buyers at the time, farmers were also reluctant to sell them. This caused the illusion that there was not much supply, and the market went up again.

The continuous soaring prices of the market made the farmers think that the demand is really increasing. They believe that the rising prices of medicinal materials are just beginning, so they are desperate to expand the planting area. In 2011, our family rented and planted 10 acres of medicinal herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala, chrysanthemum, and purple alum. However, we did not think of our hard work. We were disappointed after the autumn harvest. As prices have fallen by a large margin, the medicines that we planted have simply failed to cover the cost. More than 10 mu of medicinal materials have been damaged by more than 20,000 yuan.

According to the author's investigation, in 2011 the cultivation of medicinal herbs expanded 1 to 2 times compared with 2010, and expanded 2 to 3 times more than in 2009. The blind expansion of the species has created a new rotten market for medicinal herbs.

European and American Debt Crisis Leads to Hot Money Evacuation At present, the global economy is in the shadow of the debt crisis in Europe and the United States. China, which has fully integrated itself into the world economy, will find it difficult to achieve its own goals. Many export-oriented enterprises are facing severe difficulties, even if they are always regarded as highly competitive. The Chinese medicine industry is now scarred by the impact of the debt crisis in Europe and the United States. Orders from South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and the United States and Europe and the United States have significantly decreased, and the export of medicinal herbs has been continuously frustrated, making export-oriented TCM companies face more severe difficulties. A lot of export-oriented pharmaceutical companies have reduced their orders, and some pharmaceutical companies, companies, and hospitals have purchased and sold them, and they have not dared to purchase large amounts of inventory.

Peripherals involved in the market did not see any positive growth in the herbal medicine market. They started dumping supplies at low prices, and hot money flowing into the herbal medicine market accelerated to escape, causing the market to continue to decline. Chuanxi was reduced from about RMB 30/kg at high prices to about RMB 10/kg; Ophiopogon was reduced from about RMB 160 at high prices to about RMB 40/kg; and it was reduced from RMB 30 at high prices. At 13 yuan/kg; Atractylodes decreased from 50 yuan at high price to 17 yuan/kg; Hawthorn meat from 80 yuan to 25 yuan/kg; from white at the highest to 200 yuan/kg at present 12 yuan/kg.

The state regulates the market and caused short-term sluggishness. Due to the extreme madness of herbal medicines in the first half of 2011, the government has successively introduced relevant policies to stabilize the market, and has stipulated the prohibition of stock hoarding and prices. The National Development and Reform Commission has successively interviewed large households such as the 37, Codonopsis, and Taizishen and urged them to release the goods as soon as possible. A lot of merchants who were prepared to invest in medicinal materials began to stop trading, and the market began to decline rationally.

On April 15, 2012, after the “Toxic Capsule” incident, the country began to reorganize medicines, drug companies, and markets, and many drug-using units suspended purchases, making the already depressed pharmaceutical market shrink even more.

Wang Yunxing, a senior analyst of Chinese herbal medicines, said with emotion that although the market was being rectified, it was temporarily affected. However, counterfeit medicines and inferior medicines were eliminated. Consumers naturally feel relieved that the demand will increase. In the long run, it will be conducive to the healthy development of the herbal medicine market.

The pain of the general decline makes drug dealers more rational. "The prices of Chinese herbal medicines will soon fall one day soon. This is actually true for many drug dealers. It's just too sudden this day. The drug market, such as the stock market, has Earn some compensation.” Liu Chengbiao, a senior analyst at TCM, analyzed that from the experience and lessons of recent years, there is a high risk of blindly following the trend, and there are few market successes. In the current situation of extreme downturn, drug dealers should be cautious and cautious, and should not start easily with some varieties that are not well understood. They must choose some prices to fall, and farmers should lose money for several consecutive years. Reduced wild species, etc. as investment targets. The drug dealers with small funds should follow the market, and they should buy them with them, or when large customers start to pick up the goods, go to remote places to look for low-priced medicines, sell them to them, and earn some hard work; there are still a large number of hands. The supply of drug dealers, to maintain a good attitude, wait and see the drug market changes, timely grasp of market opportunities.
