Jiuquan is  promoting the deep processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, with a focus on the development of the Gancao (licorice) full industry chain project. This project will gradually lead the development of other traditional Chinese medicinal material industries, such as the Gouqi (Chinese wolfberry) and Suoyang (Cynomorium songaricum). Efforts will also be made to develop Chinese medicine granules, extracts, and formulated granule medicines, and to explore and cultivate new varieties of traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, the certification and protection of Suoyang, Gouqi, and Gancao will be strengthened.
