Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., the leading developer of spider silk based fibres, is working in collaboration with a local cooperative in Quang Nam province, to expand mulberry production.

"This effort highlights the complementary efforts that we are taking, in combination with the leadership in Quang Nam, to restore their traditional sericulture industry by blending in new high technology agriculture. This continued collaboration will play a key part in the exciting growth potential we're seeing with our expansion in Vietnam and the market for affordable spider silk materials."
