By managing the entire cultivation process internally, we can guarantee the highest standards of quality and consistency in our products.

Looking to the future, we are poised to expand our agricultural operations to include hundreds of different species, each carefully selected for its potential in various industries. To support this growth, we are developing a state-of-the-art tissue culture laboratory, which will employ cutting-edge technology for plant propagation. This facility will enable us to meet the rising demand for high-quality plant materials while maintaining our commitment to sustainability.

Our agriculture division is equipped with the latest tools, technology, and machinery, supported by a skilled and educated workforce. We leverage these resources to implement advanced agricultural practices that maximize yield, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.

Our facility in the Bingiriya Export Processing Zone, dubbed the “Parktory,” exemplifies our dedication to eco-friendly operations. Designed as a zero-waste facility with aspirations for carbon neutrality, it stands as a model of “Eco-Recycling Business Management.”

At Phylochem, we are not just growing plants; we are cultivating a sustainable future where innovation and nature thrive in harmony. Our agricultural endeavors are the cornerstone of our mission to deliver superior quality products while preserving the environment for generations to come.





Our Diverse Cultivation

At Phylochem, we cultivate a diverse range of plant species and genera, meticulously selected for their unique biochemical properties. Our extensive biological assets, spanning hundreds of species across multiple genera, provide the foundation for our innovative phytochemical extraction processes. Explore our key species, each contributing distinct bioactive compounds that play crucial roles in both traditional medicine and modern pharmacology.

We have hundreds of species from more than 12 genus under cultivation. Our current assets of interest include:
  • Tabernaemontana
  • Psychotria
  • Elaeocarpus
  • Chiliotrichum
  • Radula
  • Mitragyna
  • Picralima Nitida
  • Uncaria

Nymphaea Genus

The Nymphaea genus, known for its iconic water lilies, includes several species with remarkable pharmaceutical potential due to their diverse phytochemical profiles. Nymphaea caerulea, or the blue lotus, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its psychoactive and anxiolytic properties, attributed to alkaloids like apomorphine and nuciferine. These compounds interact with the brain’s receptors, offering potential benefits for anxiety, mood enhancement, and even sleep disorders.

Additionally, Nymphaea alba and Nymphaea nouchali are valued for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making them promising candidates for natural health remedies. Research into these species is uncovering new applications, particularly in neuroprotective therapies and as anti-aging agents in skincare. Through careful cultivation and extraction processes, we aim to harness the full therapeutic potential of the Nymphaea genus, bringing these ancient plants into modern pharmaceutical use. Our work focuses on identifying and optimizing the most potent varieties, offering natural alternatives in the growing field of plant-based medicine.

Psychotria

A genus with over 1,500 species of flowering plants.

Our assets include many species of Psychotria, including:

  • Psychotria umbellata
  • Psychotria poeppigiana
  • Psychotria colorata

We have developed effective farming methods for many species of Psychotria.

Tabernaemontana

A genus with over 100 species found in tropical locations worldwide. Tabernaemontana species play a key role in their ecosystems, supporting various birds, mammals, and insects. The genus contains a wide variety of unique polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and saponins.
Our biological assets include more than 20 species of Tabernaemontana, including:
  • Tabernaemontana divaricata from Asia.
  • Tabernaemontana pachysiphon from equatorial Africa.
  • Tabernaemontana donnell-smithii from Central America

Chiliotrichum

Chiliotrichum diffusum is a species that we’re actively developing. This shrub is native to South America, particularly found in regions such as Patagonia. This species contains unique bioactive compounds that act as opioid receptor modulators.

Elaeocarpus

A genus of flowering plants, many species of which are rich in novel alkaloids found in the leaves, fruit, bark, and roots.
Our plantings include:
  • Elaeocarpus Grandis
  • Elaeocarpus Floribundus
  • Elaeocarpus Ganitrus
  • Elaeocarpus Sylvestris
  • Elaeocarpus Habbemensis
  • Elaeocarpus Fuscoides

Mitragyna

The Mitragyna genus includes several species that are less well-known than Mitragyna speciosa but hold significant potential due to their unique alkaloid profiles. For instance, Mitragyna parvifolia, a tree native to the Indian subcontinent, is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The leaves and bark of Mitragyna parvifolia contain various alkaloids, such as mitraphylline and isomitraphylline, which have been shown to interact with the central nervous system in ways that could be beneficial for pain management and possibly other therapeutic applications.

Other species within the Mitragyna genus, such as Mitragyna hirsuta and Mitragy na rotundifolia, are being actively researched for their potential to yield novel compounds that could be developed into pharmaceuticals. Through our chemical screening and plant selection processes, we are identifying cultivars with the highest concentrations of these valuable alkaloids. Our efforts aim to bring these lesser-known species into the spotlight, offering alternatives to more commonly known plants and expanding the possibilities for natural product development.

Radula

Radula perrottetii is a liverwort species known for its unique production of cannabinoids, particularly perrottetinene, which is structurally similar to THC found in cannabis. Our team has developed a specialized commercial growing method to optimize the productivity of this species, ensuring high yields of these novel cannabinoids.

The therapeutic potential of these compounds is being investigated, particularly for their potential use in neurological disorders and chronic pain management. Radula species could provide an alternative source of cannabinoids that is distinct from traditional cannabis plants, offering new opportunities in the field of cannabinoid research.

Uncaria

A genus of climbing vines, known for its medicinal properties, particularly in traditional medicine. These climbing vines are rich in indole alkaloids, which have been shown to possess a wide range of biological activities, including molecules with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects.

Our collection includes both Asian and New World species, each offering unique alkaloid profiles, providing diverse opportunities for exploring their therapeutic potential.

Picralima Nitida

Picralima nitida, commonly known as Akuamma, is a plant native to West Africa, particularly in countries like Ghana and Nigeria. The seeds of this plant are traditionally used for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

The active compounds, such as akuammine and akuammidine, are structurally related to yohimbine and have been shown to possess opioid-like activity. Picralima nitida is a natural source of analgesics that offer an alternative to synthetic opioids.
