DUBAI, UAE, 27 JANUARY – Kenaf Venture Global Sdn Bhd or KVG its products can assist in fighting climate change because they are green.
The Malaysian kenaf industry leader held a social business forum and a networking session with potential stakeholders at St. Regis Hotel in Dubai this week.

Non-biodegradable waste
