At present, the domestic e-commerce platform for Chinese herbal medicines is gradually increasing. For example, in May 20 13, Kangmei Pharmaceutical's bulk trading platform for Chinese herbal medicines was put into trial operation, and the varieties traded included Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Radix Astragali. There is also the first Chinese herbal medicine futures honeysuckle trading platform in Chongqing Agricultural and Livestock Products Exchange, which was launched as early as 20 10. In addition, the Douyun Chinese medicine e-commerce platform in Zhangshu, Jiangxi, the IOT Chinese medicine e-commerce platform in Longxi, Gansu, and the Nanjing Tongrentang Green Gold Online Chinese Medicine Trading Center have also received attention. Compared with the traditional trading mode, online trading has the characteristics of wider trading area, lower cost, higher quality and less risk, which meets the needs of both parties.

Advocating electronic trading can not only improve the trading efficiency of Chinese herbal medicines, avoid or reduce the long-distance turnover of Chinese herbal medicines between operating enterprises, but also monitor the price of Chinese herbal medicines quickly and in real time, adjust the relationship between supply and demand, increase the transparency of market information, and further promote the establishment of brands by Chinese herbal medicine manufacturers.
