Shifts in Herbal Medicine Regulations Open New Doors for Export and Standardization

In recent years, the herbal medicine industry has witnessed remarkable global growth, prompting significant changes in regulatory and legal frameworks across many countries. Nations such as Germany, China, Canada, and Australia are revising their standards to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of plant-based medicinal products.

According to recent reports, health authorities in these regions are introducing stricter procedures for herbal drug registration, formulation approval, and manufacturing licensing. In Iran, where knowledge-based companies in the herbal health sector are expanding, there is a growing demand for updated regulations, streamlined licensing processes, and increased support for herbal product exports.

Experts believe that a smart and specialized regulatory approach can help attract foreign investment, facilitate global market entry, and strengthen Iran’s scientific and commercial position in the field of herbal therapeutics.
