The Korean Koryo medicine technology company is a scientific research base established in 1992 for the purpose of solving sci-tech problems arising in the production and business activities of Koryo medicine pharmaceutical factories across the DPRK.

“Our company is mainly aimed at resolving sci-tech problems arising in cultivating, protecting and increasing Koryo medicinal herbs and those arising in developing highly efficient Koryo medicines and health foods and consolidating the material and technical foundations of Koryo medicine pharmaceutical factories,” said Jon Ryong Hak, director of the company.

The company has promoted the development of Koryo medicines, traditional Korean medicines, for over 30 years.

Last year alone it succeeded in the research into  the standard cultivation of Schizandra chinensis, thus completing “Guide to cultivation of Schizandra chinensis” and “Guide to cultivation of Schizandra chinensis seedlings” to be introduced at the Rinsan medicinal herb farm and established a method of managing the quality of various highly efficient Koryo medicines to be introduced at Koryo medicine pharmaceutical factories across the country.

And it intensified the research for making antihypertensive drinks, thereby completing the ways to make jujube leaf antihypertensive drink and Chinese guttapercha leaf & buckwheat antihypertensive drink.

Besides, it provided technology for the deliberation of design of the first process at several Koryo medicine pharmaceutical factories.

Its pilot plant has examined and turned over 100 technical directories for Koryo medicine production into PDF files and set up the databases of them to be employed by such factories across the country.

Meanwhile, the company issues the magazine Koryo Medicine Technology Bulletin.

“Standardization of stevioside-based common thyme cough medicine”, jujube leaf drink, fermented sweet girasole nutritious solution and designs of medicinal herb pulverizer and kneader presented by the company were highly rated at several sci-tech festivals and exhibitions last year.
