The benefit of "high quality and excellent price" of traditional Chinese medicine is still to be released

According to a survey conducted by economic information daily, the quality and price of Chinese medicinal materials in some regions have been improved thanks to the application of modern technologies such as seed and seedling source detection and quality and safety traceability. However, due to the insufficiency of pricing mechanism and the lack of third-party detection, the benefit of "high quality and high price" of Chinese traditional medicine still needs to be further released.

Market force Chinese medicine high - quality excellent price

Longxi county in gansu province is one of the largest distribution centers of Chinese medicine. In 2011, local farmers smoked radix astragali, radix codonopsis and angelica, etc. with sulfur, in order to pursue the medicinal materials for selling. Reporters recently in longxi survey found that under government regulation and market regulation, the trading of Chinese medicinal materials here has formed a market forcing mechanism. Illegal production activities such as sulphur fumigation are gone, and Chinese medicinal materials begin to reflect "high quality and high price".

Li jiyuan, 46, is from qiaojiahe village, shouyang town, longxi county. His farm yard was covered with bundles of radix codonopsis. "" dangshen is classified into 6 grades according to quality, with an average of 30 yuan per jin." " Li said he attaches great importance to the quality of medicinal materials and does not use pesticides all year round. He dispenses organic fertilizers according to the soil quality and sticks to manual weeding. He earned 50,000 yuan by "planting good drugs" last year.

Good quality, the price will be high, this has formed in the firewood river village a kind of guidance. Li jiyuan said that when vendors came to his home to buy medicinal materials, first asked if there were pesticide residues, poor quality herbs will not be bought. "Even when they enter the market, staff will be tested for residues, and there are frequent returns for residues in villages. He said.

The reporter learned that since 2014, the state has been strengthening the supervision, and some local Chinese medicine markets have been on the track of survival of the fittest, a long-term "bad money drives out good money" vicious circle. In longxi, the price of non-fumigated medicine is 10 yuan more per kg than that of fumigated medicine. The price difference between genuine and non-genuine medicinal materials is also gradually increasing. The price of guangdong tangpi is thousands of yuan higher than that of shandong tangpi.

The control of quality and safety becomes the conscious awareness of some production enterprises. Minxian shunxing and traditional Chinese medicine co., LTD. Is a small processing enterprise. Jing xiaoqin, the company's chairman, said the company has invested at least 2 million yuan in quality testing of traditional Chinese medicine in order to prevent the inflow of substandard medicines.

Guo lp deputy director of the China resources of traditional Chinese medicine academy of sciences center provides the quality guarantee and Chinese materia medica industry of 2017 healthy development report shows that as the country's attention and the progress of technology, traditional Chinese medicine overall quality improved. Most of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) breed chaos problems get solved, falsify flood the market a lot of traditional Chinese medicine is also very rare.

"Three hands" to improve the quality of Chinese medicine

The reporter found that the "high quality and high price" mechanism in the trade of traditional Chinese medicine mainly benefited from the "three hands" of front-end source safety, medium-term standard planting and follow-up quality traceability.

One is to select high-quality seeds at source. The staff is conducting chemical tests on the seeds of traditional Chinese medicine in gansu province. "Longxi astragalus is planted mixed with Mongolian astragalus and membranaceous astragalus, and the hybrid of germplasm is common. The color of stalks is red and green, the height is high and the height is low, which makes it difficult to guarantee the quality of Chinese medicinal materials. Chen weihong, head of the testing center, said that their research on the seed and seedling technology of traditional Chinese medicine, the "purification and rejuvenation" of the astragalus variety, the selection of a quality variety, large-scale promotion and gradually elimination of hybrid seeds.

Second, standardized planting into enterprise development "standard distribution." Guo lanping introduced that in recent years, the implementation of GAP (Chinese medicine production quality management code) and GMP (drug production quality management code) in China has greatly promoted the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.

During this year's flu outbreak across the country, jinren pharmaceutical group's shufeng detoxification capsules were once in short supply, resulting in record sales. "To ensure efficacy, 90% of our raw materials are purchased directly from the core producing areas and our own GAP planting base, and the core ingredient emodin is several times higher than the pharmacopoeia standard." Xu wenlong, deputy general manager of jiren pharmaceutical group, said the enterprise standard is far higher than the pharmacopoeia standard, and the products can not only occupy the market, but also have bargaining power.

Third, the quality traceability system of Chinese medicinal materials is improving day by day. "By scanning the qr code with a hand, information such as the person responsible for producing Chinese medicinal materials, production cooperatives and test results can be found." Chen weihong said that the traceability platform for quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicinal materials in longxi county has established traceability points for 10 leading production and operation entities in large-scale production in the whole county by using modern information technology, which can realize "the source of Chinese medicinal materials can be known and the destination can be traced". In addition to the government, tianshili holding zhongtian pharmaceutical and other enterprises have also explored the establishment of digital traceability system. The mobile scan qr code can provide raw materials, production process, production date, production batch and test report, realizing the traceability of the whole industrial chain.

With the application of rapid detection, traceability and other technologies, the trading center of traditional Chinese medicine in shouyang town, longxi county stipulates that any grower who comes to trade medicinal materials must provide id card, personal information will be recorded into the traceability system, discovering Chinese medicinal materials with pesticide residues or heavy metals exceeding the standard, and the customer finds the supplier through tracing source and returns unconditionally.

The benefit of "high quality and excellent price" of traditional Chinese medicine is still to be released

Experts and enterprises said that there are still some areas of high quality of Chinese medicinal materials difficult price, slow price linkage phenomenon, should be more measures to further release the potential of "high quality".

"In some places, the more expensive the medicine is, the less it occupies the mainstream position. Chen jiannan, a professor at guangzhou university of traditional Chinese medicine, said that sanren in guangdong is of good quality, but its yield is so low that it is rarely used as medicine.

Similar to agricultural products, the annual output of Chinese medicinal materials is large and small, and the price fluctuations are also large. However, at present, the price adjustment of traditional Chinese medicine by the national development and reform commission is out of control, and the adjustment of industrial association is too slow. The price change of traditional Chinese medicine and prepared slices does not have a synergistic effect.

First, explore the management mechanism project of traditional Chinese medicine with high quality and high price. Guo lp suggestion, draw lessons from advanced countries such as Japan Chinese prescription medicine production and management idea, start from improving product quality, the proprietary Chinese medicine price associated with the price of raw materials, by encouraging proprietary Chinese medicine quality, promote the production of proprietary Chinese medicine enterprise to use traditional Chinese medicine, with good product for a good price, and promote the industrial upgrading, Chinese medicines, to ensure that the quality of products.

Chen jiannan and bao hetang jiaozuo, general manager of jiaozuo pharmaceutical co., LTD., shan xiaosong and others suggested that the pricing mechanism should be adjusted as soon as possible to allow the same Chinese patent medicine variety to be used for different levels, naming and pricing. Meanwhile, the Chinese patent medicine terminal products should be allowed to be upgraded according to different quality and specifications and be handed over to enterprises for independent pricing.

Secondly, it is urgent to strengthen the construction of third-party inspection and testing system. "The production scale and specialization degree of Chinese medicinal materials in China are low, and the sources are complex, so it is inevitable that mixed Chinese medicinal materials can be produced. This is also an important reason why many people use traditional Chinese medicine without obvious effect. Therefore, it is necessary for third-party institutions with credibility to conduct batch testing to guarantee the quality of Chinese medicinal materials entering the market." Chinese academy of engineering, China academy of traditional Chinese medicine dean zhang bl, said medicine medicinal materials of the third party testing is already in the world practice, set up a Chinese herbal medicine in our country the third party inspection agencies, not only can evaluate quality of medicinal materials, can also help herbalist science of medicine, at the same time the platform structures for the herbalist docking with the downstream enterprises, realize the safety of the whole industry chain operation and can be traced back.
