“…This aligns with the principles of the "One-Health" concept and the ongoing trend of digitalization. According to Wan-Mohtar et al [58], given the considerable quantity of bioactive substances derived from kenaf, whether obtained from its foliage, seeds, or blossoms, this plant possesses the capability to be incorporated into the food sector as functional foods, capable of providing advantageous effects on health. Kenaf is a potential source of protein to maximize animal productivity and eradicate human malnutrition.…”

In recent years, kenaf has gained significant global attention as a more cost-effective, adaptable, and manageable alternative to other fibre crops. India and China, with nearly 70% of the global kenaf production, have emerged as the leading producers of kenaf plants. While kenaf was traditionally valued for its paper production, it has evolved into a multipurpose crop with diverse industrial applications over the past two decades. Conventional soil-based cultivation methods for kenaf require up to six months for plant maturity. However, in vitro propagation techniques offer a promising alternative that enables faster growth and reduced labour costs. In vitro propagation can be achieved using solid and liquid media, with limited research available on the pure liquid culture method for kenaf. This review aims to introduce and compare the production of kenaf using solid and liquid media, with a specific focus on the emerging country of Malaysia, which seeks to harness the potential of kenaf cultivation for the 15th Sustainable Development Goal, “life on land”, and its contribution to the economy.

“…But, the yield of the extracted secondary metabolites from the produced callus should be enough to cater for the needs of the industries [ 24 ]. So, other optimization studies that specifically target to maximize the content of the metabolites of interest can be explored as well with the intentions to apply and realize the idea of landless farming, and sustainable and circular agricultural systems [ 17 , 51 , 52 ]. If the metabolites content in the callus can be increased more than the extracts from the in-tact plant, the need for land for plant cultivation can be alleviated greatly which in return leads to more preservation of the under threat-forests.…”

The versatility of a well-known fibrous crop, Hibiscus cannabinus (kenaf) is still relatively new to many. Kenaf’s potential applications, which can be extended even into critical industries such as pharmaceutical and food industries, have always been overshadowed by its traditionally grown fiber. Therefore, this study aimed to venture into the biotechnological approach in reaping the benefits of kenaf through plant cell suspension culture to maximize the production of kenaf callus biomass (KCB) and exopolysaccharide (EPS), which is deemed to be more sustainable. A growth curve was established which indicates that cultivating kenaf callus in suspension culture for 22 days gives the highest KCB (9.09 ± 1.2 g/L) and EPS (1.1 ± 0.02 g/L). Using response surface methodology (RSM), it was found that sucrose concentration, agitation speed, and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) concentration can affect the production of KCB and EPS significantly ( p < 0.05) while 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) was deemed insignificant. To maximize the final yield of KCB and EPS, the final optimized variables are 50 g/L sucrose, 147.02 rpm, and 2 mg/L of NAA. To conclude, the optimized parameters for the cell suspension culture of kenaf callus serve as the blueprint for any sustainable large-scale production in the future and provide an alternative cultivating method to kenaf traditional farming.
