Continuous high temperature production reduces the price increase of traditional Chinese medicine twice a month

"Yuan one paste medicine, a month later rose to yuan, immediately even Chinese medicine will not be able to afford." At noon on August 30, Ms Zhou, a member of the public, found that the price of the same herbal medicine increased by 50% only after a month According to Mr Wang from the industry, the rise in the price of medicinal materials is mainly due to the rise in the price of raw materials, the continuous high temperature in July and August, the decrease in the output of medicinal materials, and the increase in the cost of manual picking of medicinal materials In addition, the state has strengthened the quality inspection of traditional Chinese medicine to ensure its quality, which also increases the cost of medicinal materials, so it directly leads to the increase in the retail price of drugstores "The price of sandalwood, the price of nine fragrant insects, the price of turtle shell and other medicinal materials all increased by about 100%." Wujin pharmacy staff told reporters that in the first ten days of August, the pharmacy found that a small part of the medicinal materials increased the price when purchasing medicinal materials In the last ten days of August, when purchasing medicinal materials again, it was found that most of the purchased medicinal materials were increased in price After two price hikes, the retail price of medicinal materials sold in drugstores has increased by an average of 30%, "like some insect like Chinese medicinal materials, the price is rising again and again." As for the citizens who began to purchase traditional Chinese medicine for hoarding, Mr Wang said, "the conditions for the storage of traditional Chinese medicine are different, which will lead to oil drain, moth eaten, discoloration, mildew and other situations, thus affecting the quality of traditional Chinese medicine." He also reminded that "Chinese herbal medicine is also a crop, relying on nature to eat If the herbal medicine can have a great harvest, the price of the herbal medicine will not rise naturally, but will correspondingly reduce the price."
