The Company's Vision

Our vision is that farmers across the world can harness the power of nature enabling their soils to thrive independently of synthetic fertilizers. Farmers choose our products over conventional inputs, as they are better value for money, support long-term soil health, and crop protection, and improve water and nutrient efficiency. As a result, farmers experience increased resilience to climate stress, higher yields, and better income. To achieve this, we develop and produce a range of carbon-based products which enable farmers to transition to regenerative agriculture. Our products sequester carbon back into the soil and combined with natural ingredients help reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers.

By 2030, we will have developed a portfolio of products adapted to the needs of 10 strategic crops targeting tropical and arid regions, with third-party verified data showing the positive return on investment for farmers along with the progressive reduction of chemical inputs. Our products will be manufactured in Cambodia and Vietnam, and available in 10 countries in ASEAN and EMEA regions where we have already engaged with distribution partners.

By 2030, we will achieve annual sales volumes of 20,000 tonnes, and revenues of over 10M USD, and by 2027 achieving cash flow break-even and top quartile of fertilizer industry standard profit margins.
