Peruvian MEDICINAL PLANTS

PEBANI is a small company founded in 1996. It is dedicated to the production and exportation of medicinal plants, natural tannins, and natural insecticides. 

It is formed by professionals:  Forest Engineers, Agronomy Engineers, who work directly with small farmers in the organic-natural production of the diverse plants. 

Since 1999, PEBANI works exclusively with the Shipibo-Conibo Native Community of VISTA ALEGRE by the Ucayali River in Peru. This is a 24 hour boat ride from the city of Pucallpa, in the Peruvian Amazon. 

The joint work and social support have as a goal the production of the medicinal plant UÑA DE GATO / CAT´S CLAW (Uncaria tomentosa), through the execution of a FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN that consists in the extraction and reforestation of  CAT´S CLAW  and other plants.

The plan was approved and supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture through the National Institute of Natural Resources by virtue of Directorial Resolution N°004-99-INRENA – DGF, and the Regional Office of Agriculture-Ucayali through a Permission N°99-002-AFCP-CCNN-PDM, a handling plan which has a time period of 10 years until 2009. 

In the case of some plants pertaining to the Amazon but which do not grow in the community’s area, like Graviola for example, we work with small farmers from other areas. In the case of plants that are from the Andes we work with agricultural communities and small farmers, as is the case of MACA for which we work over 3800 meters above sea level. 

The Company’s objective is to provide technical counseling for the cultivation of organic-natural crops, harvest and post harvest handling to assure the quality of the product. Before the crop or harvest we analyze the quality of the land (climate, precipitation, soil, etc.), as well as the chemical analysis of the ground (to discard the presence of polluting agents), and we analyze the active principles of the different plants because we know that QUALITY starts in the FIELD. 

Furthermore, we remunerate the support of the native community and the small farmers who work with us by providing them a fair price, medical support, clothes, equipment etc. 

Within what is possible and not to lose our vocation as researchers, and as college professors we collaborate in medical investigations and the diverse uses of the Peruvian plants. 

We have been visited by some of our clients from:  Austria, Hungary, Japan, Poland, Switzerland, and the USA and if you wish to see our work please contact us to program your visit to the Amazon and/or to the Andes.

If you want samples, more information about a plant, or product in particular, please contact us.
