Fang Shuting, president of China traditional Chinese Medicine Association: the export volume of traditional Chinese medicine accounts for about

"at present, there are more than 1000 traditional Chinese medicine enterprises in China, and China is a big country in the export of traditional Chinese medicine!" The 46th Zhangshu Drug Fair is being held. Fang Shuting, president of the China traditional Chinese Medicine Association, said in an interview with people's Daily online after the opening ceremony that there are still some problems in China's traditional Chinese medicine export, which requires the cooperation of many departments to strengthen export.

According to Fang Shuting, at present, in terms of the medical industry, especially the traditional Chinese medicine industry, there are mainly problems of small, scattered and poor. "the scale of the enterprise is not very large and scattered, but the difference is the gap between medical operation and management!" According to Fang Shuting, the year before last, five ministries, including the Ministry of Science and Technology, proposed to call on pharmaceutical enterprises to merge and reorganize, in the hope that pharmaceutical enterprises will become bigger, and after they become bigger, they will be able to keep pace with the basic rules of management of pharmaceutical enterprises in the world.

Statistics show that from January to November 2014, the total export volume of traditional Chinese medicine products reached 3.2 billion US dollars, and the total import volume of traditional Chinese medicine products decreased for the first time. In the interview, Fang Shuting pointed out: "it was said a few years ago that China, a big country in traditional Chinese medicine, exports only 5% of the world's traditional Chinese medicine. Such a statement is totally inaccurate! " Liu Zhanglin, vice president of the China Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Medical and Health products, also refuted the export figure, according to Fang Shuting. "in the world, China is still a big country in the export of traditional Chinese medicine, and the volume is by no means 5%. It is just that there is some gap between our country and some countries in the export of certain commodities and varieties." Fang Shuting said, for example, Korean ginseng, as a well-known product in the country, is a little more than us in terms of individual export volume, but in the entire Chinese medicine industry, China's exports absolutely account for the vast majority. "according to statistics from the Association of Pharmaceutical and Health products and exporters, we account for about 20%." The room kiosk said.

In the interview, Fang Shuting said that there are still some problems in China's export, which requires further research by the business community, the scientific and technological community, and government departments to do a good job in this area and strengthen the export of traditional Chinese medicine.
