1, the scale of Chinese medicine planting increased, but the lack of source supervision
With the implementation of rural land transfer policy, Chinese herbal medicine planting in the north and south of the Yangtze River has become a trend. Local governments are trying hard to implement the planting of Chinese medicinal herbs, but failed to strictly follow the Taoist medicinal herbs planning for scientific planting, while the lack of Taoist medicinal herbs planting technology support, lack of supervision at the source, soil testing, field operation of the whole process of supervision is missing, resulting in varieties of variations, the original medicinal herbs, the level of traits, content levels vary greatly.
2, Chinese medicine price fluctuations intensified, the enterprise procurement costs
Due to the lack of supervision of the planting of medicinal herbs, the quality of the original medicinal herbs are mixed, and the lack of raw materials in full compliance with the pharmacopoeia requirements. At the same time, the regulatory authorities of the Chinese medicine downstream industry enterprises such as Chinese medicine tablets, proprietary Chinese medicine enterprises to enhance the supervision year by year, a variety of market sampling, flight inspections so that the pressure on business operations increased.
3, Chinese medicine product business is more, but the phenomenon of homogenization is serious
At present, the Chinese medicine product business includes: Chinese medicine tablets, Chinese medicine traditional production method of various honey pills, water pills, punch, syrup, ointment, granules, powder, decoctions and dispensing, as well as modern drug preparation technology made of Chinese medicine tablets, injections, capsules, oral liquids and other specialty medicines. Proprietary Chinese medicine development momentum is insufficient, the phenomenon of product homogenization of various manufacturers is obvious, the industry competition is fierce.
4, the Chinese medicine industry, low degree of automation, obsolete production equipment
The use of modern pharmaceutical technology made of Chinese medicine tablets, injections, capsules, oral liquid, granules, powder, etc., its production process basically reaches the level of chemical drug production technology, can be a greater degree of automation, industrialization. However, the production and processing of Chinese medicine tablets, granules, pills, creams, affected by the requirements of the tablets, poor material fluidity, still follows the 80s Japanese herb processing technology.
5, the development of new products of traditional Chinese medicine is slow, the power of industrial extension is insufficient
In recent years, with the state of traditional Chinese medicine health care products advertising market standardization and rectification, the marketing environment of the traditional Chinese medicine health care products industry has undergone tremendous changes. Relevant state departments have strengthened the review of Chinese medicine and health products advertisements, increased the review and crackdown on illegal advertisements, and the public opinion has been denouncing illegal advertisements, which has brought a strong impact on the Chinese medicine and health products market, which was already in crisis.
Policy Recommendations for Accelerating the Development of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry
Constructing a standardized herb planting base and building a traceability system for the whole process of traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine industry is facing unprecedented development opportunities, we should coordinate planning, strengthen the source and process supervision, put forward industrial development guidance planning and take regulatory measures to achieve industrial upgrading in phases, and ultimately achieve the Chinese medicine industry green, automated, information-based production.
The planting origin of Chinese herbal medicine is very important. It is recommended that the relevant state departments coordinate the planning of localization areas, use "Internet + Chinese herbal medicine base" to form a digital management system to achieve differentiated planting, to ensure the localization of herbs, to avoid varieties of variations, to achieve the planting of herbs, field operations can be traced back to ensure the quality of raw materials, to solve the problem of people's livelihood, and to achieve sustainable development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry. The sustainable development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry can be realized.
