Can Laos Benefit from Farming Duckweed?
Duckweed, locally known as “Phuck Nae” is not new to many people in Laos where it is consumed as a food supplement. What people might not be aware of is, however, is that it has global commercial value.
Duckweed is a species of plant with small round leaves floating on the surface of the water. For many, it is a plant that is commonly present in garden ponds.
It is a high protein food with a protein percentage ranging from 25 and 45 percent, which is considered better than that from Soybean meal, which contains only 36 percent protein content.
