Soha
Jissa Company was established in 2001 with the support of the Medical
Procurement Organization of the Red Crescent Society of Iran in Mazandaran
province, Salmanshahr industrial town in an area of 17,000 square meters and
infrastructure of more than 5600 square meters and was put into operation in 2003.
It is also noteworthy that despite the existing history of using medicinal
plants in traditional medicine and the unique plant diversity of our country,
the shortcomings in the infrastructure of the pharmaceutical industry have made
the country not make an optimal use of this God-given resource. Consequently, on
the one hand, the factories manufacturing cosmetic and medicinal products in
many cases have no option but to import plant extracts from abroad, or on the
other hand, valuable and unique plants of the country are exported raw with the
least added value and without processing and preparation.
Having
observed the aforementioned problems, the Soha Jissa Agro-Industry
and Medicinal Plants Processing Factory decided to increase the added value of
our country's natural resources by planning to build a plant for extracting
medicinal plants while eliminating the country's shortage of various types of
medicinal plant extracts.
In
view of the available facilities, the factory has, over time, tried to
diversify its products and designed and produced packaged products, including
single-plant and mixed brews and processed tea to the extent that currently the Soha Jissa factory has taken license to produce more than
300 types of herbal products from the Ministry of Health with the potential to
be used in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and hygiene
(Solid, hydroalcoholic, propyleneglycol, glycerin, aqueous and oily extract,
packaging of medicinal plants, tea and dried vegetables). At present, it is the
largest producer of plant products in Mazandaran province and even in the
country.
