High-purity botanical raw materials optimized for South American regulatory compliance and industrial applications.
The industrial landscape of Uruguay is undergoing a systemic transition towards high-value bio-economy processes. With a solid foundation in agriculture, animal husbandry, and a growing pharmaceutical sector, Uruguayan manufacturers are increasingly seeking standardized botanical extracts to substitute synthetic ingredients. This shift is heavily accelerated by strict environmental regulations, changing consumer preferences for green labels, and MERCOSUR regional harmonized standards.
Uruguay's beef, dairy, and poultry industries represent a cornerstone of the national economy. With the European Union and other premium global markets demanding meat products free from antibiotics, local feed formulation plants are integrating plant secondary metabolites. Macleaya cordata extract, rich in active protopine and allocryptopine alkaloids, has emerged as a premium anti-inflammatory and gut-health optimizer. By using localized plant extracts, feed mills across Montevideo, Salto, and Paysandú are achieving superior animal performance while securing export-ready profiles.
The urban population of Uruguay presents one of the highest per-capita spending indices in South America for health supplements and organic wellness. Local pharmaceutical laboratories (Laboratorios) are expanding their lines of botanical formulations, combining traditional ingredients with scientifically backed actives. Modern imports of standardized adaptogens, such as Rhodiola Rosea Extract and Ginseng Leaf Extract, assist companies in formulating anti-fatigue, stress-management, and cognitive enhancement supplements. Our technical documentation supports registration processes with the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) of Uruguay.
A premier Chinese manufacturing partner driving plant extraction biotechnology globally.
Established in 2012, Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. operates as a specialized high-tech enterprise dedicated to the research, development, and scalable production of high-purity botanical extracts and natural pharmaceutical ingredients. Located in Sichuan Province, we utilize raw botanical materials sourced from natural, pollutant-free highlands to produce premium natural raw materials for pharmaceutical, veterinary, dietary supplement, cosmetic, and food manufacturers.
Why global and Uruguayan manufacturers choose Chenlv Herb as their primary botanical ingredient supplier.
China is a global leader in botanical raw material collection and extraction technology. Sourcing directly from Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. provides Uruguayan manufacturers with key strategic advantages:
Chengdu is strategically located near the Qinghai-Tibet plateau and the Qinling Mountains, natural habitats containing a high density of medicinal plants. We source raw materials directly from managed agricultural bases, ensuring strict control over heavy metal concentrations, pesticide residues, and microbial profiles. This control provides a reliable raw material foundation that complies with both Uruguay's LATAM trade specifications and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP).
Our production facilities utilize modern extraction technologies, including dynamic countercurrent extraction, vacuum low-temperature evaporation, and spray drying. These processes prevent thermal degradation of active phytochemical compounds, such as polyphenols, alkaloids, and glycosides, ensuring reliable batch-to-batch consistency for complex formulations.
Our plant extracts are used across several key industry sectors, supporting product development and manufacturing.
Providing functional, safe raw materials for modern dietary supplements and health products to support daily wellness.

Recently, the market price of Citrus aurantium raw materials in China has been on the rise, drawing significant attention from the industry. As the new production season (May-June) comes to an end and new supplies gradually enter the market, price fluctuations have become a focal point due to supply and demand dynamics and cost considerations.
As a key event for leading China's pharmaceutical industry onto the global stage, the 23rd China Pharmaceutical Raw Materials Exhibition (CPHI China) joins hands with the 18th China Pharmaceutical Machinery Exhibition to connect international buyers with top-tier suppliers.
We are pleased to invite industry colleagues to join us at the upcoming API conference to discuss new developments in biotechnology, sustainable extraction methods, and strategic supply chain partnerships.
Purchasing botanical ingredients internationally requires balancing quality compliance with shipping logistics. For Uruguayan companies, understanding key stages in the procurement process helps ensure stable supply lines:
Regulatory authorities in South America require detailed documentation for imported botanical materials. Chengdu Chenlv Herb supports the registration process by providing complete technical documentation packages, including Kosher, Halal, ISO9001, ISO22000, and FDA compliance files, as well as Allergen Statements and GMO-free certificates.
Phytochemical extracts are sensitive to humidity and oxidation. To protect active ingredients during transit across equatorial shipping routes, our products are packed in food-grade polyethylene bags inside fiber drums, incorporating silica gel desiccants to manage moisture. For long-distance sea freight to Montevideo, we recommend shipping in climate-controlled container units (Reefer Containers) to maintain temperature stability.
