Just saw this myself (no e-mail yet).

Well, it's something that's for sure. It's nice to see official confirmation that we will be doing business in VN. Hopefully this is the start of more news to come, as obviously the details are a little light.

Regardless, nice to see something. Leap day miracle.

Edit: The question now becomes, do we have to wait 'several months' before we hear about any of those agreements?

and begin cross breeding its silkworms with local commercial silkworm lines.



This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me...Unless this is just a way to get above average silk for mundane uses? It would be very inconsistent with respect to SS yield, as the VN worms aren't genomically uniform like the platform worm.

Maybe more in the newsletter...soon :)

This equates to another 3 to 5 years of waiting as Kraig pilot produces and experiments with their silk... More doubling and doubling of double to come as they work to develop a viable product.

"the signing of a cooperative agreement"

wonder what that is?..i wonder if kim is doing all the cooperating..Vietnam tells him what he can and cant do as things move along?..

"with a governmental entity in Vietnam"

well that's certainly vague..in the mou he specifically mentioned negotiating with provincial, regional and central governments...when he was just checking things out, he was boasting about meeting the prime minister and posted photos etc..

now that he has signed a deal, suddenly its with a "governmental entity"...not "government" but "governmental"..remember, kim is a lawyer and he knows how to make people think he said something he did not actually say..

"the terms of the agreement Kraig Labs has agreed to form"

he makes it sound like its not what he wanted but instead "agreed" to do it anyway..

"It brings us a huge step closer"

still measuring progress in steps..geez..they are a step closer..whatever that means...wonderful

"in completing this first of its kind international agreement.”

why is it the first of its kind?..and why is that important?..

"The Company is currently in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals for the subsidiary"

approvals from who?..some "governmental entity?"...isn't that pretty much where we were yesterday?..waiting for approvals?..

"and begin cross breeding its silkworms with local commercial silkworm lines."

really!..hmm..thought kblb already had the perfect breed established..why go back to where we were 5 yrs ago?..
