Development Council (RMRDC) in Owerri on Friday, Jacobs noticed that regardless of the high rate of organic product generation and a flourishing juice showcase, the nation imported natural products concentrates. In the paper entitled "Advancing Investments in Concentrate Production,'' he said the circumstance brought about an expected loss of one billion dollars every year.
