    Mr Pu is a medical representative who has been engaged in medical sales for 20 years His pharmaceutical factory is a small pharmaceutical factory in Shandong Province, which mainly produces Chinese patent medicine He told the Beijing Business Daily that it is not uncommon for Chinese herbal medicines to be inferior, fake, adulterated and dyed to gain weight He has more contacts with Bozhou Chinese herbal medicine market in Anhui Province There are many herbal medicines that have been extracted and then sold, and there are also serious cases of substandard ones General distributors are qualified samples of medicinal materials when they send them for inspection, but they put authentic products on the surface when they sell them, but the quality of the medicinal materials sold below cannot be guaranteed, which is common in the medicinal materials market Chen qiguang, executive director of the research group on the situation of traditional Chinese medicine of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the extraction technology of traditional Chinese medicine is constantly being promoted An enterprise in Guangzhou produces 80000 tons of waste residue of traditional Chinese medicine every year when extracting traditional Chinese medicine These traditional Chinese Medicine should be used as feedstuff However, some enterprises return these traditional Chinese medicine to the market and sell them as non extracted traditional Chinese medicine, seriously damaging the health of consumers Kang It is well known that both the buyer and the seller seek huge profits to replace the inferior with the best The market of traditional Chinese medicine is divided into several links: the seller of traditional Chinese medicine (the businessman who buys the traditional Chinese medicine from the druggist), the supplier of traditional Chinese medicine (the businessman who buys the traditional Chinese medicine from the vendor to supply the pharmaceutical factory), the pharmaceutical factory (making the traditional Chinese medicine into pieces), the hospital and the clinic of traditional Chinese medicine (selling the traditional Chinese medicine pieces to the patients) Mr Chen, who works as a Chinese herbal medicine seller in Bozhou, Anhui Province, told Beijing Business Daily that the key reason for the chaos in the Chinese herbal medicine market lies in the willingness of TCM hospitals, TCM clinics and pharmaceutical factories to buy low-grade Chinese herbal medicine and herbal pieces, to lower the price of Chinese herbal medicine or herbal pieces, and to increase the difference between the purchase price and the sales price, so as to make huge profits The demand decides the supply The merchants of traditional Chinese medicine in Bozhou, Anhui Province, say it very directly: "if you sell, you have to buy If you buy fake and inferior traditional Chinese medicine, you have to sell." Over market Chaozhi improper trading Mr duopu's pharmaceutical factory imported raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine mainly from suppliers in these markets, which is mainly in the charge of the quality control department and Purchasing Department of the factory He revealed that the supplier has close contact with the personnel and departments in charge of purchase in the factory, and the purchase behavior is mixed with more personal factors, so it is normal to give red envelopes, kickbacks and gifts "Basically, if these suppliers have a good relationship with them, they will not worry about the sales of medicinal materials, and the quality inspection will turn a blind eye." In addition, the head of a pharmaceutical factory is usually a "one word", many problems can be decided by clapping the board, many suppliers also find the factory director to manage the relationship and establish a stable supply relationship Chen qiguang believes that this has something to do with the excessive or improper medical market in China Commercial transaction is the result of the target interests of both the buyer and the seller "With the development of medical reform, more and more Chinese herbal medicines have entered the list of basic drugs Now some brand listed companies are trying to lower the price of drugs in order to gain an advantage in the bidding Low price can only buy low-grade Chinese medicine Even so for brand enterprises, some small and medium-sized enterprises buy not only low-grade Chinese herbal medicines, but also fake and inferior ones for profit " Mr Chen also revealed to Beijing Business Daily that the profit margin is low due to many intermediate links Now, the price of 1 kg of roses bought from pharmaceutical farmers is yuan, and the price sold to Chinese medicine suppliers is yuan The good ones can be sold to yuan, and only earn yuan per kg, which does not include the cost of stalls and transportation The profit margin is very low, so the druggists have to cheat in order to survive "Chinese herbal medicine can only be sold for a radish price Now I will not be a seller of Chinese herbal medicine I plan to further process Chinese herbal medicine and make health food with the same origin of medicine and food." The yield of traditional Chinese medicine is limited by production cycle and climate In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has been recognized by the general public The demand for health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine is more and more prosperous, while the supply pressure is increasing, the production cost of traditional Chinese medicine is rising, and now the enthusiasm of pharmaceutical farmers is not high Chen qiguang revealed that there is a great shortage of professionals in traditional Chinese medicine More than 200 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines are common in the country, and 50% of the graduates of Beijing University of traditional Chinese medicine can't recognize them "The state should do more training, learn more about the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, and establish a training base in the country where traditional Chinese medicine is planted." Mr Chen of Bozhou Chinese herbal medicine market in Anhui Province suggested The industry believes that the country's interview with the market leaders of 17 cities and regions will crack down on a number of illegal processing points and non-conforming distributors, which can effectively regulate the market order "Substandard goods and other illegal behaviors can bring considerable profits to these merchants After being hit by the regulatory authorities, there is no channel to obtain this part of profits A group of small processing workshops and dealers with small financial resources may gradually withdraw from the market and the future processing points and dealers may develop towards collectivization." Chen qiguang thought: "if the market of traditional Chinese medicine wants to be cured, it needs to be managed by experts Now, there are no managers with professional knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in the functional departments of drug management, and there are limitations in the management of experts outside He suggested that the market of traditional Chinese medicine should be managed by senior people in the industry Deng Haihua, spokesman of the national health and Family Planning Commission, said that to eradicate the breeding ground for commercial bribery in the purchase and sale of medicine, we need to gradually clean up the price system of medical services, reasonably reflect the labor value of medical personnel, and establish an effective incentive and restraint mechanism.
