Since 2021, the National Institute for Korean Medicine Development has been conducting adaptability research on high-value medicinal crops such as Seungma in Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, aiming to discover region-specific medicinal resources and carry out pilot cultivation to increase income and create jobs.
Through this agreement, the two parties have agreed to mutually cooperate on the following: ▲ safety evaluation and analysis of active ingredients in medicinal herbs, ▲ investigation of greenhouse resource growth and analysis of production costs, and ▲ expansion of distribution networks.
Through joint research, they aim to overcome the limitations of smart farm cultivation, which has so far been limited to edible resources, and pursue the following goals: ▲ production of pharmaceutical-grade medicinal herbs with proven safety and efficacy, ▲ development of alternatives to highly imported medicinal herbs, and ▲ development of cultivation protocols for medicinal herbs that cannot be artificially cultivated through tissue culture.
Cho Hyunwoo, Director of the National Institute for Korean Medicine Development, stated, "The development of smart farm protocols for medicinal herbs through cooperative agreements among public institutions, companies, and local communities will serve as an important catalyst for fostering and advancing the Korean medicine industry."
