Inclusive Business in Agriculture and Food Systems National Investment Forum

Ladies and gentlemen,

I stand here today not just to present a business idea, but to ignite a revolution to transform rice straw, the one mostly burned or wasted, the one most people ignore or overlook,  but not us, we see rice straw as a valuable resource a nature gift, a hidden treasure, we see rice straw as an opportunity to create something useful, something beautiful. We are Ulstraw, Ulstraw is on a mission to “Change the world starting from one rice straw.”

Vietnam, the world’s leading rice exporter, produces approximately 50 million tons of rice straw annually. Sadly, less than 30% is utilized effectively, with the majority being burned, leading to pollution, soil ecosystem destruction, and a staggering waste of resources.

 Ulstraw is developing three product groups: Firestarters for outdoor enthusiasts, fuel pellets for sustainable energy, and shock-absorbing packaging solutions.

Inclusive Business

Our revenue streams from product sales and carbon credits, target outdoor lovers and fire users in North America and Europe. Our key partners include local farmers, governments, influencers, and distributors.

Our products have already made their mark in the US, with around 2,000 items reaching consumers, garnering 100% positive feedback, with over 80% rated five stars. When we officially launched on Amazon on May 20th, our product quickly became the top 1 new release on Amazon. We’re also the proud winners of the Social Business Creation 2023 in Montreal, Canada.

This has immense potential. Annually, we have access to 50 million tons of raw material at an incredibly low cost, impacting the lives of 66.4 million rural inhabitants. Every ton of straw repurposed into our products helps reduce CO2 emissions by 3.5 tons.

Here’s a cost breakdown of a typical product on Amazon, you can see the raw material costs only 5%.

 This is our sales forecast and market development plan for Ulstraw until 2026. We start with online sales on e-commerce platforms and then expand into offline channels.

We seek investors and partners to broaden our market reach and amplify Ulstraw social impact. We offer a $100k investment for a 10% stake. You can join us as an investor, distributor, or customer, or simply by sharing our vision and mission. Together, Change the world starting from one rice straw.

Thank you!
