FRESH from making inroads into China, Ecofuture Bhd is eyeing the Middle East as the next major market for its Ecomat, a fibrous mat made from oil palm residue for use in soil erosion prevention and in combating desert and sand storms.
Ecofuture chief executive officer Yeo Kim Luang said the company, which was involved in oil palm biomass, milling and sale of crude palm oil and kernel, made inroads into China using Ecomat in a desert and sand storms control trial project in Beijing two years ago.
