A BREAKTHROUGH in biotechnology by Improser Group Sdn Bhd in using palm oil kernel for chickenfeed holds promise of reducing the country's dependence on the import of soya and corn.
At the moment, Malaysia imports almost RM6bil worth of food and food related products annually. With our technology to process palm oil kernel, which is considered a waste product now, Malaysia can produce chicken feed locally and sell at a fraction of the cost of the feedmeal,'' said its president and chief executive officer Henri ten Have.
