The country has launched the National Bioeconomy Strategy 2026–2036, a 10-year framework seeking to use biological resources, science, technology and innovation to create new industries.
A bioeconomy approach could turn some of these materials into fertilisers, energy, industrial products and other goods, creating additional income from agricultural production.
