This is to certify that HIRATA Corporation, Japan, has legitimately accessed genetic resources in accordance with the Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) framework of Lao PDR, based on the requirements of Prior Informed Consent and Mutually Agreed Terms. This access is authorized under Project Agreement No. 239/FoP, established between the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Health Sciences, Lao PDR, and HIRATA Corporation, Japan, under the Joint Exploration and Evaluation Program (JEEP) for Genetic Resources, dated 24 March 2026.
Subject-matter or genetic resource(s)
This permit covers plant genetic resources originating from the Lao PDR with potential antioxidant properties and bioactive compounds relevant to the development of functional food ingredients, cosmetic active substances, and botanical materials for toiletry products. The resources include traditional Lao medicinal plants and other plant species identifiable by their taxonomic names.

Activities conducted under this permit include literature review and background data collection, field collection of more than 400 plant genetic resource species across the Lao PDR, and preparation of samples in dried, juiced, frozen, and extract forms. The collected materials will be evaluated for antioxidant activity and analyzed for chemical components using LC/MS and GC/MS techniques.

Research samples and associated data may be transferred to HIRATA Corporation for further analysis and identification of candidates with potential commercial applications in cosmetics, functional foods, and toiletries.
