HONG KONG, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UMeWorld Limited (OTC: UMEWF), a leading innovator in the wellness sector, today unveiled its strategic growth plan for the upcoming year, positioning the company for sustained success as it prepares for a potential uplisting to a higher exchange. Key to this plan is the continued market expansion of DAGola Cooking Oil, alongside entry into the sports nutrition market and significant advancements in biofuel development.

Strategic Growth Initiatives

UMeWorld's growth strategy for the next 12 months will be driven by four main pillars:

1. Market Expansion with DAGola Cooking Oil
   UMeWorld is focused on strengthening its presence in the health-conscious consumer market with DAGola Cooking Oil, a premium product known for its innovative enzymatic process that reduces triglycerides by up to 80%, offering a healthier alternative to conventional oils. UMeWorld will soon introduce DAGola Premium Blend, featuring a larger size and enhanced value for consumers. The company is in active discussions with major U.S. retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, and Amazon Fresh to secure prime shelf space and increase product visibility across the country.
2. Expansion into Sports Nutrition
   The company plans to broaden its wellness product portfolio by entering the fast-growing sports nutrition market. UMeWorld is developing new products designed to support athletic performance and recovery, targeting both fitness enthusiasts and professional athletes. The company's R&D team will focus on creating innovative, clean-label products that meet the rising demand for effective sports nutrition solutions.
3. Product Development and Innovation
   UMeWorld will continue to invest heavily in research and development, refining its product offerings to meet evolving consumer needs. Plans include the establishment of a dedicated R&D center focused on leveraging enzymatic technology for various applications, including cooking oil, skincare, biofuels, and nutritional supplements. UMeWorld is also in the process of appointing a Chief Research Officer to lead these initiatives and ensure that the company remains at the forefront of innovation in its markets.
4. Biofuel Development
   UMeWorld is advancing its biofuel strategy through the planned acquisition of palm oil mills in Malaysia, a move that will enable the company to produce sustainable second-generation biofuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Green Diesel. The company is nearing the final stages of a joint venture with its Integrated Palm Oil Project (IPOP), which will allow for the production of biofuels using palm oil and enzymatic technology, improving efficiency and supporting global sustainability goals.
