Some Chinese herbal medicines have been scraped and prices have risen 3 times in two months.

Business Club September 9th If someone purchases Taizi ginseng at the end of last year and throws it now, it will definitely create a wealth myth. Because no one thought that at the end of last year as low as 20 ~ 30 yuan / kg heterophylla, the current worth has risen nearly 10 times! Since July alone, Taizishen prices have risen by nearly 180 yuan.

Despite the recent arrival of new goods, the price of heterophylla has not dropped. It has now risen to about 260 yuan/kg. Some herbal medicine companies think that the risks are too great and they have not dared to sell Taizishen. However, the industry generally believes that Taizishen is unlikely to replicate the trend of the beginning of the year on March 3rd.

Taizi ginseng rose three times in two months

In early July of this year, the price of Taizi ginseng reported by Guangdong Provincial Price Testing Center was RMB 82/kg, and in early August, the price of Taizi ginseng had reached RMB 180/kg. Yesterday (September 8th), a reporter of “Daily Economic News” visited the Qingping Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market in Guangzhou and found that the price of Taizishen has risen to 260 yuan/kg.

An expert in the procurement of medicinal herbs in the market told reporters that many herbal medicines have been increasing prices recently, but the price of heterophylla is rising most ridiculously. “The price of this medicine has rarely exceeded 100 yuan in the past and the price was at the end of 2009. Even only 20 to 30 yuan, which rose to about 50 yuan at the beginning of this year, and then gradually hit a new high. I would not dare to buy or sell Taizishen."

When the reporter asked about the price of Taizi Radish in another herbal medicine shop, the owner of the shop bluntly said: “Now we do not need to ask for goods, we don’t need to ask for the price, because it is a price every day.” It is said that there are currently many kinds of Chinese herbal medicine prices are rising, especially Ethylene ginseng is very high, and some are as much as 300 yuan/kg.

The reporter visited a number of herbal medicine shops and found no Taizishen in a store. A drug dealer told the reporter that due to the current price increase of Taizi ginseng is too large, many drug dealers are afraid and do not dare to operate Taizishen.

On the contrary, prices rose steadily in the early part of this year. September new products listed on March 37, the price trend is relatively stable, the current price of 60 goods is about 360 yuan / kg. However, there are not many drug dealers selling Panax. According to the analysis, due to the high prices, the 37 market is not prosperous, and the sales volume is very low. Most of the merchants have a wait-and-see attitude, and they dare not purchase any more easily.

It is understood that the price rises of Taizishen and Panax notoginseng have been related to the reduction of production due to weather conditions in their main producing areas such as Fujian, Yunnan and Guizhou.

The industry said it was difficult to replicate the myth of the March 7th

The soaring prices of heterophylla, in addition to climatic reasons, are not unrelated to the fact that funds from various sources are pushing prices higher at the place of origin. The Guangdong Provincial Price Bureau analyzed that due to the expected tight supply, drug dealers are optimistic about the late Taizi ginseng market. Around the summer solstice (the new period of production of Taizi ginseng), they have snapped up Taizi ginseng in the production areas, causing the price of Taizi ginseng to rise rapidly since July.

An expert disclosed to reporters that because of the money-making effect of March 31 at the beginning of this year, this has caused many drug companies to participate in Prince Edward's looting of goods, picking up goods, and even some real estate speculators have transferred funds to hoarding Taizishen.

According to the data released by the Guangdong Provincial Price Monitoring Center, in early August, the three major production areas of Taizishen, Anhui Xuanzhou production has been completed, the total output of 600 to 800 tons, has sold 80%; At the end of the year, the total output was 800 to 1,000 tons, which had been sold at about 50%; the production of Shibing County in Guizhou had just begun, and the total output of information based on the origin was about 1000 to 1200 tons.

The price of Taizi ginseng has soared rapidly. It is easy to remind people of the myth of soaring up on March 3 of this year. Since Panzhihua's price has also been rising rapidly mainly due to the combined effects of production cuts and speculation, some people speculate that this round of Taizi Senate will not duplicate the "Myth of the March 7th".

In this regard, the industry expert analysis, compared with March 7, Taishen ginseng cargo cost is very high, especially in the gas, mildew, moisture is very heavy in Guangdong, it is not easy. "Don't dare to fry," the connoisseur told reporters. It is said that Taizishen is originally a very cheap thing, the effect is relatively common, is a common Chinese herbal medicine, so I feel the current price is too high. "If I were a pharmacy, a doctor, and so expensive, I wouldn't use it for anything else." A Chinese medicine buyer lamented.

The Guangdong Provincial Price Monitoring Center also believes that Taizi can not replicate the price trend of 37. The center analyzed that the price history of heterophylla was only more than 100 yuan/kg twice and the highest price was 120 yuan/kg. In addition, the production cycle of Panax notoginseng is as long as 3 years, and it is easy to store. However, Taizishen is produced annually. It can be produced before and after the summer solstice next year. It is susceptible to mildew and is difficult to store for long term.

Chinese herbal medicines rose or caused Chinese medicine prices

The prices of Panax pseudoginseng and Panax ginseng soared in succession. The current price of honeysuckle, which has gained momentum during the “A stream” epidemic period, is still high. When the price of honeysuckle is low, it is less than RMB 100/kg. The reporter learned yesterday from Qingping Traditional Chinese Medicine Market that the current price of honeysuckle is about RMB 500/kg.

According to statistics, the current national demand for honeysuckle is about 20,000 tons, while the actual output is only 7,000 tons. This year's high prices in March and July will be reduced by several percent. Some other Chinese herbal medicines such as honeysuckle, ginkgo, grass, safflower, and amomum may also be affected by the climate and reduce production. Although in the tide of rising prices of Chinese herbal medicines, some drug companies have unexpectedly made a huge fortune. However, for most pharmaceutical companies, the increase in the price of raw materials has increased the cost of enterprises, which directly reduces the profitability of drug companies operating proprietary Chinese medicines.

At present, most Chinese patent medicines are priced by the National Development and Reform Commission, and companies cannot determine their maximum retail prices. According to Guo Fanli, a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry of China Investment Advisors, the rise in prices of Chinese herbal medicines will inevitably drive up the cost of drug manufacturers. The downside to the company's business is that the cost will increase, which will lead to lower profits. Of course, this may lead to the price of medicines - that is, the rise in prices of proprietary Chinese medicines.

However, Guo Fanli believes that in the short term, the price of proprietary Chinese medicines will not increase substantially. Large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturers have their own production bases for medicinal materials, and also have 2 to 3 years of inventory, so the cost pressure is not great; for general companies with only 3 to 6 months of inventory, the price of Chinese herbal medicines has increased. It is not a small blow.
