About this industry
Industry definition
As the production raw materials in the upstream of the industry chain, Chinese Medicinal Herb Growing in China is the basis for the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry. China began the cultivation and planting of Chinese medicinal materials as early as the Tang Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty began large-scale cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials. However, the large-scale cultivation of many varieties began in the 1950s. At present, it has reached the stage of large-scale, intensive and industrialized cultivation base production. China is one of the largest growing and consumer countries of ginseng and pseudo-ginseng in the world. Rising prices and the growing popularity of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have driven increased supply and demand for industry products in recent years.
