业内专家近日分析认为,1999年中药材生产将继续稳定发展,具体呈现以下几方面特点: ①药材生产部分地区出现种植药材热。由于全国物价总指数逐年下落,农副产品价格也同样下降,大部分农副产品处在买方市场。1998年一些地方“菜贱伤农”,瓜果市价也偏低,影响农民收益。种植药材相对收益较为稳定,即使一时跌价或卖不出去,也可以待机再售。近年来,由于城市中下岗人员增多,;农民进城打工机会减少,不少农民转而对种药感兴趣,作为增加收入的一条出路来对待。因此,1999年药材生产在部分地区有可能出现种植热,给药材市场提供了更为宽松的货源。②药材品种产销不平衡。药材品种产销变化大,每年都有一些品种产大于销或产不足销, Industry experts recently analyzed that in 1999, the production of Chinese herbal medicines will continue to develop steadily. The following characteristics will be specifically presented: (1) Herbal medicine fever appears in some areas of medicinal materials production. As the national price index has been falling year by year, the prices of agricultural and sideline products have also dropped. Most agricultural and sideline products are in the buyer’s market. In some places in 1998, “vegetable crops hurt farmers”, and the market price of fruits and melons was also low, which affected farmers’ income. The relative income of planting medicinal materials is relatively stable, and even if the prices fall temporarily or cannot be sold, they can be re-sold. In recent years, due to the increase in the number of laid-off workers in the city, the number of peasants working in cities has decreased, and many farmers have turned to be interested in the cultivation of medicines as a way to increase their income. Therefore, in 1999, there was a possibility that planting fever might occur in some areas, and the supply market provided a more lenient supply. 2 Uncoordinated production and sales of medicinal herbs. Variety of production and sales of medicinal herbs varies greatly. Each year, some varieties produce more than they sell or produce less.
