Premium raw botanical powders and high-purity extracts ready for commercial operations across Cairo, Alexandria, and Port Said.
Egypt's wellness and functional ingredient sectors are experiencing unprecedented development, driven by Egypt Vision 2030, which emphasizes domestic manufacturing localization for pharmaceutical intermediates and health food formulations. Within this industrial paradigm, Mulberry Leaf Powder (specifically standardized for 1-Deoxynojirimycin / DNJ) has emerged as a premium raw materials candidate. The prevalence of metabolic issues and diabetes in Egypt has pushed Egyptian pharmaceutical developers and functional food producers to actively develop natural blood sugar regulation complexes.
Furthermore, Egypt's food processing sector—anchored by major production centers in Cairo, Alexandria, and the 6th of October City—is rapidly modernizing to satisfy consumer demands for "clean-label" botanical additives. Mulberry powder serves a dual purpose as both a functional health supplement containing dietary fiber and essential minerals, and a stable natural coloring and antioxidant component for baking, beverage, and dairy applications.
As Egyptian manufacturers look to secure bulk raw materials, establishing direct-from-factory partnerships with certified Chinese extractors is crucial. This helps mitigate middleman markups while ensuring strict compliance with chemical assay standards, microbiological parameters, and international quality certificates.

Importing botanical extracts into Egypt requires navigate a rigorous regulatory framework overseen by the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) and the Ministry of Health. For raw materials like Mulberry Powder, compliance begins at the source. UniCare supports Egyptian importers by providing comprehensive paperwork dossiers covering pesticide screening, heavy metal profiles, microbial counts, and GMO statuses.
Our logistical teams are fully experienced with the Advance Cargo Information System (ACID) mandated under Egypt's Nafeza Single Window system. We ensure that all proforma invoices, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and laboratory analysis certificates are uploaded correctly with matching ACID numbers to avoid any delays at the port of Alexandria, Damietta, or Sokhna.

UniCare attaches great importance to the hardware conditions of production equipment and has the largest and most advanced extraction factory in China. The entire production line in UniCare is controlled by a modern, intelligent, automatic control system. Until now, UniCare has built up two GMP workshops, containing six multi-functional extraction lines, among which there is the only production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract of acetone process in the whole China. Here are several other production lines including fermentation production lines and Chinese medicine pieces. A total of 30,000 tons of various Chinese medicine plant raw materials can be processed each year.
All operations and facility management follow strict GMP regulations.
Certified Ginkgo Biloba Extract production under strict global standards.
Modern automated control systems guarantee consistent batch quality.
Houses some of the most sophisticated active botanical extraction hardware in China.
Our facility operates six main production lines, including three annular dynamic countercurrent extraction lines (10-ton and 15-ton capacities), two multi-functional extraction lines featuring 32 extraction tanks at six cubic meters each, and one round dynamic countercurrent extraction line (10 tons). For bio-transformed products, we operate six dynamic fermentation tanks of 20 tons capacity each, permitting advanced enzymatic modification. This hardware footprint guarantees a steady supply chain to our partners in Egypt and other regions globally.
UniCare has established a leading and complete quality control system, and strictly controls the high quality of products in accordance with the quality system.

UniCare invests 10% of our annual net profit in research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction process, we have also established a professional R&D department for the natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through the traditional processes and disrupt industry development. UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming the new raw materials of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into mass-produced products.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, which extends procurement to every piece of planting land and can trace the raw materials of each batch of products. The storage of raw materials is operated according to the advanced quality management system process, and the content of active ingredients, moisture, ash, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other items of raw materials are strictly controlled.
At the same time, in order to further ensure the high quality of important products, UniCare cooperated with planting farmers to establish ginkgo leaf planting bases, epimedium planting bases, phellodendron planting bases, olive leaf planting bases, etc. Some of these bases are planted strictly in accordance with the GACP management model. In addition, we cooperate with seedling research and development companies to develop high-content seedling cultivation, and cultivate better seedlings through hybridization or gene optimization, so as to continuously reduce unit costs to benefit users.
