Traditional Chinese medicine tracing is coming, the price of Chinese medicinal materials is going up again!
July 3, traces the professional committee of China association of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) announced the formation of Chinese medicine, trace branch will undertake the specific work for about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) trace, trace service platform construction of Chinese traditional medicine association, promote the construction of Chinese traditional medicine enterprise tracing system, maintain the quality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry brand reputation.
▍ traceability is focus on Chinese traditional medicine
Tracing Chinese medicine is not new.
As early as April 2015 published "the protection of traditional Chinese medicinal materials and development plan (2015-2020), the establishment covers the whole process of the main varieties of traditional Chinese medicinal materials traceability system as an important task of construction quality guarantee system. Their quest to establish a Chinese herbal medicine from farming, processing, acquisition, storage, transportation, sales to the whole process of using the traceability system, realize the source available, go back, responsibility to investigate and promote to use source specific Chinese herbal medicine raw materials production enterprises.
In fact, many related departments have been promoting the standardization of plant cultivation base and storage circulation in recent years to ensure the quality of medicinal materials. The construction of Chinese medicinal materials circulation traceability system is one of them.
In gansu province for example, as the nation's second batch of Chinese medicinal materials flow tracing system construction of pilot provinces, in addition to the support of planting base of Chinese herbal medicine production enterprises in the province, also in combination with the practical situation of the province, outstanding limited trace, selective trace, creation and farmers cooperative mode.
▍ Chinese medicine: why do you want to back?
According to data from the China food and drug testing institute, the total acceptance rate of Chinese medicines and tablets was 64 percent, 68 percent, 75 percent and 77 percent, respectively, from 2013 to 2016. That is to say, a quarter of Chinese medicine is unqualified.
According to CFDA statistics, 172 GMP certificates were recovered in 2016, of which 81 were involved in traditional Chinese medicine, accounting for 47.6 percent. It can be seen that the quality of Chinese medicinal herbs and traditional Chinese medicine is worrying.
Using unqualified Chinese medicinal materials, 100 percent of the production is not qualified. Experts from the national pharmacopoeia commission said that if a large number of Chinese herbal products fail to qualify, they will increase the risk of substandard drugs.
, director-general of the department of the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine international cooperation Wang Xiaopin told the media that the quality is the lifeline of traditional Chinese medicine industry, the current Chinese medicine quality control is facing many challenges, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) trace can let each link to control, will play an important role for industry development, and especially meaningful.
Tasly group co., LTD., chairman of the board 閆希軍 had also told reporters, increase the quality of information on each link of traceability qr code, through the dynamic transfer quality information, fraud can be fundamentally constraints.
▍ the influence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) back to the enterprise
1. Product quality improvement
Chinese traditional Chinese medicine enterprises tell me that the essence of TCM traceability is actually a good thing for enterprises.
In the past, the Chinese medicinal herbs were particularly good at Taoism, and the quality of the raw materials of the deep mountains was of course beyond reproach. Now, 90 percent of Chinese medicine comes from artificial cultivation. Without wild and native environment, the nature of medicinal materials is greatly reduced. And China is a big pesticide country now, and many herbs can't be taken directly. In particular, some Chinese medicinal plants are blindly pursuing economic benefits, abusing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, reducing their growth and long-term, resulting in the change of drug properties, not having the standard of pharmacopoeia, and the toxic side effects are still excessive.
At present, China strictly controls the quality of traditional Chinese medicine, and the quality of all medicinal herbs will be improved. So, to avoid risk, downstream companies will also use qualified medicines. In this way, from the herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, to the Chinese medicine, the product quality will be improved. Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine companies have higher standards and higher quality, which is a good thing for enterprises or large masses of people.
2. The price of Chinese medicine is going up again
At the end of 2015 the new "pharmacopoeia" after carrying out, more strict with sweet herbs, because there was no sulfur medicinal materials for processing, storage and other costs, this one and a half years since, there have been more and more sweet medicinal materials prices across the board. People in the industry said that the price of Chinese medicinal materials would be higher and higher if the Chinese medicinal herbs were fully implemented.
Chinese traditional Chinese medicine business people tell me, the enterprise builds the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine to trace the source system, the cost is no less than the establishment GAP, GMP system.
Learned, sig pharmaceutical industry as early as in 2014 launched the first Chinese medicine traceability system, the use of the electronic label on every link of circulation processing real-time record, by each product unique qr code, can grasp the Chinese type and quantity, the planting area, geographical feature, component content such as first-hand data and information. The cost of such a powerful message can be imagined.
At the same time, with the establishment of the retrospective system, the origin of Chinese medicinal herbs will be more and more concentrated in the future, and the prices will be higher and higher.
It is not difficult to understand the trend of rising prices of medicinal materials, and it is not difficult to understand that the cost of drug dealers will naturally transition to the manufacturers of Chinese medicine, and the Chinese medicine will not escape the curse of rising production costs.
Predictably, the quality of the Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese medicine yinpian, proprietary Chinese medicine in the future will be more and more high, in the policy support, quality control, traceability system perfect neck and neck, the era also truly become a nobleman medicine of traditional Chinese medicine.
