In December this year, the Chinese herbal medicine trading market, which was supposed to enter the peak season, was not as hot as expected.
On the second floor of the Bozhou Chinese herbal medicine professional market trading center in Anhui Province, Wang Yong, the operator of Shayuanzi, was worried, and the Shayuanzi in his hand dived in a short period of timeLast month, it sold for more than 300 yuan a kilogram, and in just half a month, it has dropped to 55 yuan a kilogram, a decrease of more than 80%. Zhao Qiang, a large owner specializing in cat's claw grass, when the price of cat's claw grass in his hand was high, it cost more than 400 yuan a kilogram, and the cheapest price was more than 300 yuan, but now the selling price is less than 350 yuan per kilogram.
Affected by multiple factors such as weather, changes in supply and demand, and labor**, some Chinese herbal medicines** in the market will rise in 2023. However, in the face of unpredictable trends, even experienced pharmacists are difficult to predict. Zhang Kai, an angelica businessman, told reporters: "Recently, there are very few foreign merchants who come to buy goods, and most of them are local, and they all want zero. He pointed to the two merchants passing by: "Like them, they are all from pharmacies, and they ask for 10 catties or 8 catties of land." "In the past, most foreign merchants bought by tons.
A number of local people engaged in the medicinal materials business in Bozhou told reportersThe fluctuation of medicinal materials ** also has the factors of hoarding and capital speculation behind it, and some people's hoarding has reached hundreds to thousands of tons.
Bozhou Chinese herbal medicine professional market (also known as "Kangmei Chinese medicine city") is one of the largest Chinese herbal medicine distribution centers in the country, and it is separated by a logistics center and an e-commerce center.

The trading hours of the Bozhou Chinese herbal medicine professional market are mainly concentrated from 7 am to 9 am.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on December 7, the reporter came to the trading center on the second floor of the Bozhou Chinese herbal medicine professional market, and the operators came one after another, some of them will simply eat some breakfast here, and then take out the inventory to sort out, go on the stage and place, about 8 o'clock, there will be merchants to inquire about the transaction. Although there were a large number of merchants coming and going, many people walked away after asking the price, and there was no hot trading scene, and some pharmacists stood in front of the stalls, looking at the passing customers.
The reporter noticed that most of the varieties that have maintained a high level and a strong trend in the Chinese medicine market for a long time this year are perennial medicinal materials, and the production areas are relatively concentrated. For example, the cultivation cycle of Codonopsis is about 4 years, Angelica sinensis is about 3 years, Atractylodes macrocephalus is about 3 years, and Paeonia alba is about 4 yearsCat's claw grass and sand garden, which fall rapidly after rushing high, are annual medicinal materials, and they are vulnerable to impact when they produce new.
The reporter visited the operators of cat's claw, sand garden, angelica, codonopsis and other medicinal materials that have risen vigorously this year, and many operators shook their heads, thinking that the peak season is not prosperous. Zhao Qiang, a large operator of cat's claw, told reporters that because of reduced yields, drought and other reasons, the production of cat's claw grass has risen less, but recently the sales volume has fallen, and the production volume is also decreasing, from more than 500 yuan a kilogram to 340 yuan a kilogram, and he is already selling at a loss.
November is the new season of Shayuanzi, and Wang Yong, the boss of Shayuanzi, said that ** has dropped from more than 300 yuan per kilogram to about 50 yuan. Fortunately, Wang Yong mainly sells odd goods, and he sells as he buys, and the impact of price reduction is not very large. "The output is large, there are too many goods, now buy a few packs and sell a few packs, and the price will drop later. In his opinion, those who have funds will save a lot of goods, and when the price drops, whoever hoards goods loses money.

On the grounds that he wanted to invest in Chinese herbal medicines, the reporter consulted the person from the Yaotong Network Service Registration Office, and the other party said bluntly:"It's late now, the first half of the year is about the same, and now a lot of medicinal materials are starting to drop in price. ”
