In our recent field analysis reports, the INO agronomy team officially integrated the eFarming remote-sensing platform  into our crop monitoring workflow. Using Sentinel-2 satellite data , the system generates vegetation indices such as NDVI  and NDRE , allowing our agronomists to identify variations across fields, spot potential stress zones, and track growth trends even before stepping into the field . However, the true value of these technological tools is not meant to re

Introduction KhaiEL from Germany and INO from Malaysia are jointly promoting the Fair Trade for Living Soil movement. This initiative seeks to enhance plant immunity and self-recovery through the concept of complete nutrition — reducing disease pressure while improving both yield and quality. The following record captures part of our agronomists’ ongoing cultivation work across farms nationwide. These field experiences are not experiments, but continuous learning processes wi

Marking a new chapter for Southeast Asia’s sustainable and data-driven agriculture Malaysia, October 16, 2025  — Fair Trade for Living Soil — International Living Soil Partnership  proudly announces that INO Nature , a leading Malaysian fertilizer company, has officially joined the global alliance. Following the participation of China’s Sinochem Group (Sinochem Commerce and Sinochem Fertilizer) in 2024, INO Nature is now the only certified member from Southeast Asia , marking

Balancing Organic and Chemical Methods Earth Foods does not exclusively favor organic farming over chemical methods; instead, it adopts a coexistence approach to maximize opportunities for biodiversity. The chrysanthemum farming in Cameron Highlands is a typical case for Earth Foods, where effective soil nutrition and biological activity are enhanced while maintaining minimal pesticide use—striking a balance between both approaches. Key Motivations for Farmers to Reduce Pesti

🔽 Plant life is getting shorter and shorter: The lifespan of chili plants has dramatically shortened! It’s now an average of only 6 months! Contrary to botanical evidence, which suggests that the lifespan of chili plants is actually 3 to 5 years (some varieties even lasting up to 15 years), this development is quite shocking and unprecedented. 🔽 Fighting Against Diseases & Pests The entire life of chili peppers is a constant battle against diseases and pests.

Embarking on a Journey of Revival- Cultivating Banana in Wilderness Between 2019 and 2022, we discovered a 24-acre plot of agricultural waste land in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, known as Tanjung Ipoh. This area falls within one of the driest and most challenging regions in Malaysia. In the past, this land was used for cultivating corn and cassava. Improper farming practices, excessive use of chemical pesticides, and soil degradation resulted in rampant fungal growth, rendering

Restoring Natural Nutritional States The ultimate goal of FAIR TRADE FOR LIVING SOIL is to restore food to its original, natural state of nutrition. Creating High-Vitality Earth Foods Banana: Transitioning from Traditional Fertilizers to EF Fertilizers Traditionally, banana cultivation only used basic fertilizers like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Now, with the switch to organic-inorganic compound fertilizers (EF full-nutrition fertilizer), the bananas are not just get
