Bolvadin is located in a main area of poppy growing.
Dried opium poppy fruits (capsules) are worked up to isolate morphine at
the Opium Alkaloids Factory in Bolvadin. Morphine consists of 68-70% of
total alkaloids in the fruitd. The remaining 30-32% of alkaloids are
just wasted. The factory has the capacity to work up annually 20,000 t
of poppy capsules. The factory consists of two main units. In the
Alakaloid Extraction Unit only base morphine is produced. In the
adjacent Derivatives Unit half of the morphine extracted is converted to
morphine hydrochloride, morphine sulphate, ethylmorphine hydrochloride.
These alkaloids are sold after pharmacopoeial compliance is achieved.
