The Problem

The Problem

Environmental & Industrial Crisis

  1. Soil

    Heavy chemical fertilizer use causes degradation, salt agglomeration, reduced microbial activity, and productivity decline over time.

  2. Water

    Industrial, agricultural, and aquaculture wastewater contaminates ecosystems with toxins, NH3, NO2, H2S, and petroleum.

  3. Food

    Traditional processing uses excessive salt and harsh chemicals, and produces harmful byproducts such as histamine.

  4. Cost

    Imported enzymes from the EU are expensive and have a high carbon footprint. Time in transit affects live enzyme quality.

  5. Regional results

    Enzymes grown in European labs, without adjusting DNA to work on a specific target object, are not as effective as a customized enzyme strain developed by Aroma scientists for each project.

  • Rows of vegetables and rice in tilled soil at early morning

    Microorganisms for Crop Cultivation

    Trichoderma sp. · Lactobacillus sp. · Penicillium sp. · Aspergillus sp. · Pseudomonas sp. · Bacillus sp. · Streptomyces sp. · Saccharomyces sp.

    • Soil improvement for fruit trees, vegetables, and rice
    • Prevention and control of pests, diseases, and nematodes in crops
    • Composting of cattle, pig, and poultry manure
    • Production of microbial organic fertilizer
    • Fish protein hydrolysate

    Improves and enriches soil nutrients, and decomposes insoluble organic matter into humus, making soil porous and loose so plants absorb nutrients easily. Antagonizes pathogenic bacteria. For rice, it decomposes stubble applied at the beginning of the season into organic fertilizer, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

    • Organic fertilizer meeting standards for crop application
    • Feed enzyme supplementation

    Eliminates odors in air, wastewater, and waste. Treats hazardous substances, prevents pathogenic bacteria, and improves the digestive system so livestock grow rapidly and healthily. Reduces the greenhouse effect and returns multiple economic benefits.
