Boosting Yields and Profitability with Soil Rejuvenation: The Transformative Impact on Glutinous Rice by TM Ag and Ai73 in Cihaur, West Java at 2023

Summary Report

Pt. Bestindo Solusi Integra (BSi), in partnership with Best Enviro Tech (Asia) Pte Ltd, introduces Canadian agricultural innovations from Best Farming Systems, including BEST Terramend Agricultural (TM Ag) and Active Ingredients 73 (Ai73), which focus on soil rejuvenation. These products were trialed by Pak Uung Sahuri, a farmer in Cihaur village, West Java, Indonesia, who applied them to a portion of his one-hectare paddy field, growing the Wondowoso glutinous rice variety. BSi provided ongoing support and monitored the trial’s outcomes. During the April 2023 harvest, the treated area showed an 18% yield increase compared to untreated sections. With the grain valued at IDR 6,000/kg, this improvement translated into an economic benefit of 118%. This trial underscores the potential of TM Ag and Ai73 to enhance productivity and profitability for monoculture farmers like Pak Uung across Asia.
