Hoa Binh Biopharm JSC intensifies scientific application in agriculture

Located on a hill in Hoa Nghia Ward, Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh Biopharm JSC has actively applied science in agriculture, especially medicinal herb farming.

Workers of Hoa Binh Biopharm JSC tend cordyceps.

The firm was established in July 2013 and a few months later in 2014, it took a brave step to start a study on multiplying and cultivating cordyceps on organic substances.

On April 10, 2014, it received Certificate No.1/DNKH from the provincial Department of Science and Technology recognizing it as a company of science and technology, the first of its kind in the province.

Since then, the department has been creating many opportunities for the firm in its research and development.

The firm’s director Dang Thi Phuong Hao said that the company has completed the study on multiplying and cultivating cordyceps on organic substances in May 2015; and its findings were verified and recognised by the provincial science council. Since then, the company produced hundreds kilogrammes of fresh cordyceps every year to supply for the production of medicine and supplementary foods in some domestic pharmaceutical enterprises.

Hoa Binh Biopharm also has its own cordycep products which were tested on guinea pigs at the Hanoi Medical University and proven to be safe for human.

The company has been conducting various studies on multiplying and cultivating several indigenous orchids, morinda officinalis, solanum procumbens, Yacon, golden eye-grass, jiaogulan, Ming aralia, and dioscorea hamiltonii./.
