Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.has inked significant agreements with the Lam Dong Agro-Forestry Research Experiment Center (LAREC), a leading authority on sericulture in central Vietnam. The collaboration focuses on enhancing the rearing and breeding of the company's specialized silkworms, marking a pivotal step towards amplifying silk production.
Central to these agreements is Kraig Labs' blueprint for operational expansion, underscoring a concerted effort between the company and LAREC to incorporate Kraig's silk technologies effectively.
The terms entail LAREC's provision of expertise and support in selectively breeding Kraig's BAM-1 parental strains, tailored to local climatic and rearing conditions. Additionally, LAREC will nurture one generation of BAM-1 strain at its facilities, supplying resulting eggs back to Kraig Labs for operational use.
This definitive agreement solidifies Kraig Labs' collaboration with governmental agencies, following a Memorandum of Understanding announced earlier this year. Founder and CEO Kim K Thompson expressed optimism, highlighting the importance of forging such alliances in Southeast Asia to integrate innovative technologies and deepen regional engagement.
Thompson, alongside sericulture expert Nirmal Kumar, remains in Southeast Asia overseeing operations, as the company nears completion of spring production trials, poised to embark on the next phase of its expansion strategy.
