Overall decline of traditional Chinese medicine plant
2001, Beijing there are 45 acres of cultivated licorice, and now only 34 acres had. Huairou of American ginseng had shrunk 80% -90%.
Few days ago, Shandong province Traditional Chinese Medicine Jin Institute of Light dry to a local Traditional Chinese medicine Plant research projects. Director told him recently, pharmaceutical overtime day and night, busy processing, production Banlangen. This year, Singapore and some provinces in China HFMD epidemic has increased over last year, while June-July, is the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease peak, so Banlangen very popular.
"At present, the market price per kg rose to Banlangen 20-30 yuan, also 4-6 per usual. Honeysuckle usually 20-30 yuan per kg, also rose to for 98 RMB. Because the Chinese on , Banlangen and honeysuckle have sterilization, disinfection effect. "Jin said light dry.
Jin light dry fear rising prices stimulated Yaonong turned to cultivation of Isatis and honeysuckle. Planted more people will make next year's price decrease, Yaonong were not planted on. Thus, a vicious circle. Cause Chinese herbal medicines Market has been in such a precarious state.
"2004, I went to visit Gansu Province, many of the original planting angelica Yaonong, began to grow food, and some even migrant workers. Gansu Angelica planting area, a sharp decline. Angelica required each year in China's cultivated area in about 100 000 acres or more, but is now down to 3 million mu less had. "Traditional Beijing Chinese herbal medicine Dr. Zhou Chengming Institute said.
Not only angelica, licorice Gansu Province is not optimistic.
Home kind of licorice in Gansu Province for the market each year about 9,000 tons; and our annual export volume and demand licorice up to 6 million tons. Even with the output of Inner Mongolia and Ningxia licorice is not enough market demand, so China is still a year from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, etc. up to 5-6 tonnes of imported licorice. "Zhou Chengming fear that if this continues, prices will surge licorice, will force farmers to the limited excavation of the wild licorice, lead to further deterioration of ecological environment.
In fact, this situation also occurred in Beijing. In 2001, Beijing also planted 45 acres of licorice, and now only 34 acres had. Huairou of American ginseng had shrunk 80% -90%. In 2001, an area of about 600 acres planted herbs around; to 2006, had fallen to 200 million mu less.
Today, Chinese herbal medicines in the area planted fell to the lowest valley. At the same time, China's exports to the rise of Chinese herbal medicines. In 2004, exports of 240,000 tons, 260,000 tons 2005.
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences researcher Ma Xiaojun, said that at present, China's imports from the countries of Chinese herbal medicines are mainly Japan, South Korea, the United States and some countries in Europe and Africa.
Japan, Chinese herbs, South Korea's Korean and Chinese medicine have had the same cultural background, and the Chinese people, they rely heavily on herbal medicines. Some countries in Europe have had the habit of eating herbal medicine, so they import almost all herbal. Africa imports of proprietary Chinese medicines, cool oil, substandard artemisinin drugs, this and the local environment. In the United States, imports of Chinese herbal medicines are mainly to meet Chinese demand.
Ma Xiaojun introduction, in fact, relative to domestic sales, the export volume of Chinese herbal medicines have a very less. 95% of the consumption of Chinese herbal medicines are still domestic.
As has the growing demand, why the medicines the country have shrunk or grown?
Suffer Zhoucheng Ming said: "I originally planted licorice, and I planted in the Beijing area from acres of licorice shrink to two acres. Lead to shrinkage of the very many, if land costs, labor costs increase, the market decline, etc..
Our grain crops and cotton countries are subsidized, and the lowest protective price of food there. The Chinese herbal medicines do? Without any relevant national policy support. "
