- Agriboard Industries, LLP. is in the business of manufacturing environmentally friendly panels made out of agricultural waste, which can be applied for exterior and interior walls for residential and commercial structures.

- They deliver custom engineered intelligent buildings that are based upon customer designs and are faster, safer, more energy efficient and sustainable.

- One of the best aspects of applying these panels are that they are also environmentally friendly, as they are made from agricultural waste. Farmers have no use for their agricultural waste so they end up burning the waste material. 

- This greatly pollutes our atmosphere. Instead, the waste is bought and converted into environmentally friendly, structurally stable, and affordable panels that can be used for the construction industry.

- Agriboard Industries help on many fronts. They help the farmer, as they are obtaining another source of income, they help the environment by producing a negative carbon footprint, they help people living in economically weak zones by giving them the opportunity to be one step closer to owning their own home, and they help the developer by cutting down building times and maintaining a product that is good for the environment, structurally strong, and affordable to the masses.
