In December 2013 Robert Henrickson, Pacific Domes partner in the Algae Dome, traveled to Myanmar (Burma) and visited the natural spirulina lake Twin taung.
This is the home of June Pharmaceuticals, a company that has been harvesting and producing natural spirulina for 25 years for use in medicines and consumer goods. June Pharmaceuticals is one of the world's largest spirulina producers with both production ponds and natural lakes, growing about 200 tons per year.
In this isolated nation, often rife with corruption, the spirulina industry has continued to flourish and provide many jobs. The vast array of spirulina blue-green algae products made in Myanmar are a testament to the vitality and health of the people.
