This initiative seeks to replace petroleum-based products with sustainable alternatives, thereby creating new businesses and expanding markets for agricultural materials. Key areas of interest for product development include paints, coatings, and adhesives, especially those suitable for composites. The ultimate goal is to enhance national self-sufficiency and promote green industrial growth through agricultural innovation.
