All participants from GrainPro pitched their new and innovative products under the product lines of their company. The team from DAFE reacted and provided comments and recommendations on how to improve their proposed products. Furthermore, each participant submitted a capsule proposal for evaluation by the team from DAFE.
GrainPro and DAFE have mutually agreed to expand their research and development collaboration in the future. (KACrystal)
