1) Not necessarily plural:
貨源多才會被利用來作為藥材,
When there was sufficient supply, their shells became [a] common ingredient in traditional herbal prescriptions,

烏龜中其實還包含了軟甲的鱉,中藥商也利用鱉甲做藥材,
There is also a market for the shells of soft-shelled turtles, which are likewise used to make medicines.

2) "medicinal" seems more appropriate than "drug" since 藥材 tends to come up in the context of TCM, where the products tend to be called "medicines" rather than "drugs".
Diff:
- 藥材 药材 [yao4 cai2] /drug ingredients/
+ 藥材 药材 [yao4 cai2] /medicinal ingredient/
