KUCHING: Nextgreen Global Berhad (NGGB) has launched sustainable green products made from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) at the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia 2023 (IGEM).

We remain dedicated to transforming oil palm biomass into a variety of downstream products, echoing the aspirations of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Plantation and Commodities, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof,” said its managing director Datuk Lim Thiam Huat in a statement.
