基于经济学视角的中药材流通问题分析

Analysis on Problems in Circulation of Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials from the Perspective of Economics

中药材流通是中药产业链流通环节中的首要部分,具有连接中药农业环节和中药工业环节的重大作用,关系到整个中药产业链的健康发展。由于流通活动主要包括交换和储运活动,并不生产实体产品,因而相较生产活动管理更难,导致中药材流通活动问题丛生,对中药产业造成不小的负面影响。本文基于规模经济、信息不对称和蛛网模型等经济学理论对中药材流通问题进行分析,剖析已有问题背后的深层次原因,并提出相应的优化建议。

Circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, as the vital part of the TCM industrial chain, plays an important role in the connection of agriculture link and industry link of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, which has influence on the healthy development of the whole TCM industrial chain. Because circulation activities mainly include exchange and storage activities instead of manufacturing real products, they are much more difficult to be managed compared with producing activity. This would lead to problems in circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and impose negative effects on TCM industry. Based on scale economy theory, information asymmetry theory and cobweb model theory, this article analyzed the problems in circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, discussed the deep reasons behind these problems, and proposed relevant suggestions for optimization.
