Medicinal Plants: Mechanization and Processing Congress

Due to the fact that the medicinal plants can be used as a good replacement for chemical drugs and it is believed that the use of machines and mechanization in the production chain and processing of medicinal plants will decrease the production cost which in turn will increase the productivity. Consequently, the need for papers is crucial and can pave the way toward the advancement of the field to establish communication between professionals, researchers, craftsmen, managers, leading farmers, producers, and all those interested in this field, and to increase the knowledge of producers, researchers and Manufacturers in the field of mechanization of production and processing of medicinal plants and introduce innovations in this field.

The Congress of Mechanization and Processing of Medicinal Plants (MPMP) seeks to provide a platform for the detailed study of the following issues :

 - Post-Harvest and Processing

 - Innovative Technologies

 - Education and Entrepreneurship

 - Economy and Trade of Medicinal Plants

Workshops will also be held during the congress. Your suggestions for holding a workshop on the main topics of Congress will also be welcomed.

This congress will be held at Imam Khomeini Higher Education Center (IHEC) from the 21 to 23 February 2022 with the participation and responsibility of the Union of Medicinal Plants Associations in Iran (UMPA) and Imam Khomeini Higher Education Center IHEC). We hope that the results of this congress will be effective in the development of medicinal plants industry.
