Planet Green is currently in advanced negotiations to hire a Chief Scientist from a top-tier U.S. academic institution.

Lactoferrin, often referred to as "Pink Gold" due to its high commercial value and distinct hue, remains difficult to produce. Traditional extraction from bovine milk is costly and yield-limited, while newer precision fermentation methods remain in early developmental stages. CEO Zhou Bin noted that by securing access to high-purity supply, the company expects to gain a significant competitive advantage as the Chinese market for the supplement is projected to surpass $100 million in annual sales by 2030.
