Description
As part of the project, a circular approach to processing palm oil fruits is being implemented, involving the production of palm oil, soap, thermal energy, biogas and compost.
The project development is based on an innovative business model in the field of social entrepreneurship, with profits being reinvested to strengthen the company, promote scalability and improve the economic situation of local farmers. This creates sustainable development opportunities for the entire region.
