Plantner (CEO Shin Jeong-woo), an eco-friendly materials and fertilizer startup, signed a business agreement with the NGO Fruit Sharing International.
Fruit Sharing International is an international development cooperation NGO specializing in supporting the self-reliance of local residents in four Asian and African countries. In Vietnam, its activities are centered around the Mekong Delta region in southern Vietnam, a major agricultural region.
Plantner is promoting the domestic production of alginic acid materials and the commercialization of eco-friendly fertilizers based on alginic acid, a natural polymer derived from seaweed, by utilizing eco-friendly extraction processes and biodegradable coating technology.
Since their kickoff meeting in Sa Dec City, Vietnam's Mekong Delta region, in April, the two sides have been discussing collaborative measures aimed at establishing a sustainable agricultural culture and expanding the eco-friendly agricultural market. This agreement aims to concretize these discussions and establish a cooperative system to expand social impact and activate various related projects.
Through this agreement, the two organizations will pursue joint projects to enhance rural development and agricultural capacity in Vietnam. Specifically, they plan to strengthen the foundation for business scalability and social value creation through a multi-layered cooperative structure involving private companies, NGOs, the government, and farmers' cooperatives.
Plantner CEO Shin Jeong-woo said, “This agreement is a meaningful opportunity at a time when Plantner’s Mekong Delta region business is showing visible results based on its technological prowess,” and added, “Through our collaboration with Yeolmae Nanum International, we will contribute to improving the productivity and income of Vietnamese agriculture.”
