80% of traditional Chinese medicine prices rose 10-20 yuan each

Business News Agency October 8th News Compared with the same period of last year, the price of each TCM medicine at Beijing Tongrentang on Chunxi Road has now risen by 10 yuan to 20 yuan. Yesterday, the reporter of Chengdu Business Daily learned from Chengdu Tong Ren Tang that the price of Chinese medicine has now become “a monthly increase, increasing more than less”. According to the statistical data of Chinese herbal medicines and world nets, the prices of 80% of Chinese herbal medicines are increasing this year.

Beijing Tong Ren Tang’s Tu Jianyi said that last year he was able to open a few yuan and a pair of cold medicines. This year has been impossible. How to open them is more than 10 yuan.

The official website of the Chinese Medicine Association Information Center for Chinese Medicinal Materials --- Chinese herbal medicine world network, its analyst Duan Hua said that the current market, the amount of large quantities of Chinese herbal medicines are rising. The Taizi ginseng with qi, blood, fluid, and spleen function last year was 20 yuan/kg, and it has now risen to about 200 yuan/kg; the price of bergamot has also hovered at 30 yuan/kg last month, and this month it rose to about 170 yuan / kg.

The price of March rose first and then fell. The rise was due to the drought in Yunnan and the reduction of production in March and July. What are the reasons for the fall? Does Sanchi output increase? Of course not, because the growth cycle of Panax is 3 years. The analysis of relevant persons in Chengdu Tong Ren Tang is, "From this we can see the figure of the dealer, they will be thrown at the start and cause price changes."

"Tai Zi Shen 20 yuan / kg price, 200 yuan / kg price is the extreme price, are not reasonable." Duan Hua believes that the normal price should be able to guarantee the interests of farmers, at 70 yuan / kg. However, the current market for Chinese herbal medicines has not been able to stabilize prices at a reasonable level. All varieties of herbs are the same. Duan Hua said, “This year has slammed prices down. Farmers have lost their enthusiasm. Next year is the world of dealers. Drug companies are going to ask dealers to spend on high-priced purchases to maintain production. Farmers see prices rising and they grow large-area prices. "Plunge," he said, and now some pharmaceutical companies bypass the market and talk directly with farmers about prices. Some pharmaceutical companies have already achieved the company + farmer's production model, and do not purchase from the medicinal market. It is reported that at present, 70% of the Chinese herbal medicines are digested by pharmaceutical companies, and only a small part of them enter the pharmacy. There are many pharmaceutical companies now directly to the place of production, docking with drug farmers, to develop their own agreement prices. Drug farmers also began to organize their operations and set up cooperatives to talk about prices with pharmaceutical companies.

40 yuan? 105 yuan? The price of the same Chinese herbal formula is very different

The staff of hospitals and pharmacies said that the grades of Chinese medicine are different. The grades of the same medicine vary greatly. “10 pharmacies may have 10 prices”

Yesterday, Mr. Wu, who lives in Wuhou District, entered the Chengdu Business Daily Hotline and said that on October 4 he held a prescription prescribed at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (hereinafter referred to as TCM Affiliated Hospital) when he asked for a price at a pharmacy near his home, the other said. This prescription only requires more than 40 yuan for each drug, and on September 28, the Affiliated Hospital of TCM allocated a price of approximately 105 yuan per pair.

Yesterday, Mr. Wu went to the doctor again and took the last prescription. After the staff in the price division read it again, he said that there was no wrong price. A pharmacy near the Affiliated Hospital of TCM gave them a quotation of more than 70 yuan, which is also lower than the price of the hospital.

The Chengdu Business Daily reporter then went to the outpatient office of the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine together with Mr. Wu. An on-duty doctor in the office stated that Chinese medicine is graded, and it is normal for the price of the same drug to be different when the grade is different. In addition, there is no unified national pricing for Chinese herbal medicines, which is entirely regulated by the market. When the hospital's purchase price is high, the pricing will be high. "Like the price of rice and soybeans, the quality of different prices is also different, but also subject to market regulation."

Yesterday afternoon, Chengdu Business Daily reporter took the prescription to visit the two drugstores on the 2nd section of Hongxing Road and the offer price was around RMB 90. One of the pharmacy staff said that Chinese medicine is indeed graded, such as premium Chinese angelica than the average will certainly be much more expensive. "You go to different pharmacies to ask, the price is not the same, 10 pharmacies may have 10 prices."

Mr. Wu said that most people have difficulty in recognizing the quality and grade of Chinese medicines. It is hoped that hospitals and pharmacies will provide more detailed information when selling drugs. For example, what is the grade of drugs and how much is the unit price? It is impossible for the public to spend money when they buy drugs. White.
