bio agrow soluciones integrales business model summary
TRANSCRIPT
A company dedicated to the design and creation of business models focused on thedevelopment of the Agricultural Industry by implementing projects with a proposed highsocial value. We also promote environmental care and our business model is based uponthe use of an aquatic plant known as duckweed (Lemna - Duckweed) as a base rawmaterial for:
o Systems for Wastewater Treatment.
o Aquaculture Farms.
o Poultry and pig farms.
o Manufacturing of protein powder for human consumption.
o Production of Biopolymers (Plastic) from starch.
o Production of biofuels.

“The production of ethanol and biogas from duckweed still cannot compete against petroleum products (gasoline and natural gas) economically,” said Jay Cheng, an agricultural and biological engineer at North Carolina State University.
