IIMSAM’s Director General His Excellency Ambassador Remigio Maradona said, “ I am confident that Nepal would play a pivotal role to realise our mandate of a world free of malnutrition and hunger through Spirulina and to deliver the benefits of Spirulina cultivation to the people through the unique IIMSAM-KSF Model for Grassroot Development.”
Chairman, HASH group of companies Vikrant Sandal said, "This will be a landmark event in South Asia". Spirulina will act wonders in two ways - helping to tackle malnutrition and to increase the earning of the farming community.
