(HBO) - In July 2013, Hoa Binh Biopharm joint Stock Company was established in Group 17, Tan Thinh Ward (Hoa Binh City). The company has invested 3 tissue culture rooms, 3 net houses, and a garden to preserve and test the production process with total area of nearly 8 hectares and equipment. In 2013, this is the first tissue culture room that invested by private enterprises in Hoa Binh province and in the pharmaceutical companies in the Northern region.

The theory of tissue culture technology is already in the book, but each plant has its own breeding process. So when the Company started to work, it was difficult. Most valuable medicinal plants are wild species without the propagation manual. Many trees are in the "Vietnam Red Book". So it is necessary a lot of intelligence and energy.

Many times, thousands of vases have been discarded, but with perseverance, the manipulations and conditions for each stage of each type of plant  is sketched by the Company. However, it also takes about 2 - 3 years to study a complete process that is appropriate when taken out in the wild.

So far, Hoa Binh Biopharm Company has mastered more than 20 technological processes of breeding and cultivating precious medicinal plants. On April 10, 2014, the company was granted Certificate No. 01 by the Department of Science and Technology as the first science and technology enterprise of Hoa Binh province.

With outstanding quality from newly researched technology, many public and private units and organizations throughout and outside the province know the company and order transfer process. The company has transferred the technology of breeding and cultivating more than 10 precious medicinal plants to units. 

Especially, in 2015, the Company successfully researched the propagation process, cultivating Cordyceps fungus on organic matter by invitro technology. According to the test results of Hanoi Medical University, the active ingredient of Cordyceps fungus is grown by the company stable and higher than the pharmacopoeia.

Each year, the company cultivates hundreds of kilograms of fresh Cordyceps mushrooms to serve raw materials for producing medicines and functional foods for a number of reputable domestic pharmaceutical companies. The company also cultivates a number of medicinal plants that have studied the process, solving the situation of scarcity of this plant material in nature.

The company gradually affirmed its prestige. Research results, applications of the company are breakthrough, contributing to science, reasoning and practice.
