The export of Chinese medicinal materials and decoction pieces increased steadily in the first quarter

Influenced by the policies of stimulating economic growth of all countries in the world, the global economy is slowly picking up Although the international economy as a whole is still in the adjustment stage, the European debt crisis and the US fiscal cliff have not been fundamentally resolved, but the situation in some economic fields has begun to improve In the first quarter of this year, China's import and export volume of traditional Chinese medicine trade reached 936 million US dollars, an increase of 23.49% year on year Among them, exports reached US $707 million, up 20.07% year on year The export of all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine commodities increased in an all-round way, especially the export of traditional Chinese medicine and decoction pieces reached US $250 million, a year-on-year increase of 37.61% Last year, the export of Chinese herbal medicines and pieces of decoction got rid of the dilemma of shrinking quantity and over rising price in recent years In the first quarter of this year, the export volume and price of Chinese herbal medicines and pieces of decoction increased to a certain extent year-on-year, and the increase was within a reasonable range The traditional markets in Asia are basically stable Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam are still the main export markets of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal pieces, accounting for 72.2% of the total export volume of Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal pieces Hong Kong, China: in the first quarter of this year, the mainland exported 23710 tons of Chinese herbal medicines and pieces to Hong Kong, an increase of 21% year-on-year; the export volume was US $96.17 million, an increase of 107.6% year-on-year, and the advantage of Hong Kong's entrepot trade has expanded At present, the main Chinese herbal products exported from the mainland to Hong Kong are the prices of Tianqi, dangshen, eucommia, Atractylodes macrocephala and rehmannia It is worth noting that Hong Kong has always been the main import market of Cordyceps sinensis price in the mainland However, with the rising price, the export volume of Cordyceps sinensis price keeps falling sharply Last year, the price of Cordyceps sinensis once showed signs of weak growth However, in the first quarter of this year, the export price of Cordyceps sinensis has reached 32046 US dollars / kg, up 41.37% year on year The export volume has further shrunk to 30 kg, the same as that of the previous year It's 87% lower than before In fact, the efficacy of Cordyceps has been recognized by the Chinese people, and the market demand will still be great Japan: in the first quarter of this year, the export volume of Chinese herbal medicines and pieces to Japan was 4807 tons, down 3.95% year on year; the export volume was US $43.13 million, down 2.05% year on year The above-mentioned situation is caused by some irresistible factors that hinder bilateral trade It is worth noting that some Japanese enterprises began to test some varieties of medicinal materials in Vietnam, South America and other countries and regions in order to ensure sufficient and stable supply At present, the prices of Chinese herbal medicines and pieces of decoction exported to Japan are mainly Pinellia ternate, ginseng, Poria cocos, liquorice and Tianqi Private enterprises contribute 60% of the performance Private enterprises are the main force to promote the export of Chinese herbal medicine and herbal pieces The number of exporters is 317, with an export amount of 250 million US dollars, accounting for 66.7%; the number of "three capital" enterprises is 79, with an export amount of 38.4 million US dollars, accounting for 15.34%; and the export amount of state-owned enterprises is 17.93% It is worth noting that among the private enterprises, the export volume of private enterprises accounts for more than 70% The main export provinces of Chinese herbal pieces have clear export orientation In the past, two provinces with large export volume were Guangdong and Guangxi With the help of regional advantages, Guangdong and Guangxi have been the top two exporters of Chinese Herbal Pieces in the past few years Guangdong is adjacent to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other major export markets of traditional Chinese medicine and decoction pieces In the first quarter of this year, the export volume of Guangdong's medicinal materials dropped significantly year-on-year, up to 86.74% The main reason is that in the past, the enterprises from other provinces that export through Guangdong as agents changed to direct export Guangdong's export products are mainly ginseng, astragalus, rehmannia and dangshen Guangxi is close to Vietnam because of its geographical advantages Most Chinese herbal medicines and pieces of decoction are exported to Vietnam through border trade, and its export performance in the first quarter of this year remains second From the perspective of export volume, Anhui's export volume of traditional Chinese medicine has always been among the top in the country, and Anhui's export of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly concentrated in Bozhou As the famous "Chinese medicine capital" in China, Bozhou's planting area of traditional Chinese medicine accounts for about 1 / 10 of the whole country, and the annual output of Chinese medicine Pieces accounts for about 1 / 3 of the whole country A relatively complete industrial system has been preliminarily formed that integrates the planting, processing, sales, scientific research, exhibition, tourism, health care of traditional Chinese medicine With a planting area of nearly one million mu, the city has more than 800 specialized villages for planting medicinal materials It has established China (Bozhou) traditional Chinese medicine trading center with the largest scale, the best facilities and the most complete functions in China, with more than 2600 kinds of medicinal materials listed on the market every day It has held the national (Bozhou) traditional Chinese Medicine Trade Fair for 26 consecutive years, and the International (Bozhou) traditional Chinese medicine Expo for 7 consecutive years The traditional Chinese medicine industry has already It has become the pillar industry of Bozhou's economic development There is still room for the price of ginseng to rise In the first quarter of this year, the export volume of ginseng was 577792kg, up 5.68% year on year; the export price was 54.66 USD / kg, up 27% year on year During the Canton Fair, some staff members of ginseng export enterprises reported that ginseng prices have bottomed out in recent years, especially after the implementation of "new measures for ginseng management" in Jilin Province, ginseng can be directly used as raw materials for food and beverage to add various kinds of food, which will open up broad space for the development of ginseng health food in China, and ginseng export prices are rising steadily, even some of them have never been in the past European and American merchants who hoard goods have also replenished goods, and ginseng market can still be cautiously optimistic Although in the first quarter of this year, the export volume and price of Chinese herbal medicine and decoction pieces have been growing steadily, but in the near future, the RMB appreciation is too fast, the labor cost of enterprises is rising, and some countries strengthen the detection of heavy metals and agricultural residues and other measures should also attract our high attention, and we should not be blindly optimistic about the future market.
