The drivers for improvement and invention in SEA product horticulture are directly linked to nutrient security , pesticide use , and land availability . There is a smashing demand for clean food grow in the land where it is consumed . Local trends for “ healthy snacking ” are being adopted and becoming more mainstream . There is also diminishing land availableness in the highlands , where high - time value food craw can be more easily grown . Now , governments , in special , are focused on ' catching up ' to the rest of the world and securing their intellectual nourishment future in the face of a significant universe increase .
Our goal has been to take the knowledge we ’ve gained during the last 28 year of servicing the Australian horticulture sphere and see how we can lend oneself primed - for - intent solutions to customer in South East Asia . Many companies have been and hold out in these markets , and most of the solutions that have been implemented are reproduction of food product systems that are democratic in other body politic and clime , such as in high spirits - tech glasshouses .
The challenge here is to see to it that solutions are engineered to be functional , affordable , easy understandable , and practicable in the long terminus . There are already many demo projects that will never be sweep up by mainstream farmers , as they do n’t fit this standard and launch the risk of becoming another abandoned structure . Enacting survive variety requires lay down partnerships with local companies and working collaboratively to take the next steps forward together . This method acting allows for the invaluable local knowledge of specific climate challenges and intellectual nourishment production organization to inform projects rather than simply double what mold in other countries .
An example of this is the collaboration between local Malaysian company ab Greentech ( MY ) and Priva Horticulture , Powerplants Australia , and Rijk Zwaan & Lentiz Education Group . In March , Powerplants sign an MOU witnessed by the mister for Agriculture Datuk Seri , Dr. Ronald Kiandee , who remarked , “ The young contemporaries of factory farm manufacture entrepreneurs need to deepen their technology - found farming knowledge so that the country ’s agricultural sphere can boil down dependency on other countries .
