EF Polymer pays a courtesy visit to the Governor of Okinawa Prefecture

This time, I had the opportunity to pay a courtesy visit to Okinawa Governor Tamaki Denny. As of this year, we have sold approximately 160 tons of EF polymers in 5 countries around the world, and are strengthening activities aimed at popularizing our products, such as starting demonstration tests in the Daito region where the effects of droughts are serious even within Okinawa prefecture.

During this visit, along with Associate Vice President Lauren Ha of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), founder and CEO Narayan Ghaljal, COO Kunitaku Shimoji, and CFO Hiroshi Yoshikawa paid a courtesy visit to the prefectural governor and talked about reports on activities so far and future policies.

Governor Tamaki expressed his expectation that it would lead to the sustainable development that Okinawa Prefecture is aiming for.
