中药材价格波动的原因及优化策略

Reason of Price Fluctuation of Chinese Herbal Medicine and Its Optimization Strategy

近年来我国中药材价格多次出现剧烈波动,对制药企业生产、民众用药以及用药安全产生了极为不利的影响。究其原因,既有中药材自身特点容易造成药材价格波动的原因,也有生产成本、生产工艺、种植土地要求和气候等原因造成的供给不足,更有民众健康理念变化、多次疫情、国家政策变化以及游资炒作等产生的需求增加等原因。应从完善中药材市场体系、保障信息畅通,打造中药材电子商务平台、减少交易流通成本,建立优质种植基地、管控野生中药材采挖等方面入手,抑制中药材价格的非理性波动,保障中药材市场稳定和可持续发展。

In recent years, the Chinese herbal medicine in China had a sharp price fluctuation, which resulted in adverse impact on manufacturer, people usage and drug safety. The price fluctuation resulted from not only self characteristic of Chinese herbal medicine, but also the supply shortage due to the production cost, process, land requirement and weather, etc. The increase in demand due to variation of people health concept, times of fatigue, change in state policy and hot money were also the reasons. The unreasonable fluctuation of Chinese herbal medicine should be inhibited, and the Chinese herbal medicine market should be guaranteed to be under stable and sustainable development starting from perfection of Chinese herbal medicine market, smooth information flow, building business platform of Chinese herbal medicine, reduction in trade circulation cost, setting up fine planting base and regulation of digging wild Chinese herbal medicine.
