Wastech Group Sdn. Bhd. (“Wastech”), an integrated agritech, specialty fertiliser and water engineering solutions provider, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Indonesia-based PT Terra Agro Persada (“Terra Agro Persada”) to collaborate on promoting soil revitalisation and sustainable agricultural practices across Indonesia.
The collaboration will be undertaken through Wastech’s Indonesian subsidiary, PT Wastek, and represents a strategic step towards addressing soil degradation challenges through an integrated and science-based approach.
Under the partnership, both parties will combine their respective expertise to provide a more holistic approach to crop productivity and soil health.
Terra Agro Persada’s biological soil restoration solutions are designed to improve soil chemistry and restore microbial balance through consortium of beneficial microbes, while Wastech’s Multigreen® controlled-release fertilisers (“CRF”) enhance nutrient use efficiency by delivering nutrients consistently over a programmed period. Together, these solutions help create healthier growing environments that support stronger crop growth, higher yield potential and more sustainable agricultural practices.
Founded in Indonesia, PT Terra Agro Persada is a biotechnology company specialising in the transformation of organic waste into natural soil conditioners containing Purpose-Driven Organism (PDO), designed to restore soil fertility and improve ecological balance. Its Terra Series product range focuses on long-term soil health restoration and sustainable agricultural productivity.
The complementary nature of both companies’ solutions creates a strong value proposition for growers and plantations. By restoring soil biological activity and improving nutrient availability in the root zone, Terra Agro Persada’s products can enhance the effectiveness of Wastech’s specialty fertilisers, including its Multigreen® CRF range, allowing crops to utilise nutrients more efficiently while supporting long-term soil health.
The collaboration will initially focus on the Indonesian market, where PT Wastek will distribute Terra Agro Persada’s soil restoration and biological agriculture solutions. Both parties believe Indonesia offers significant growth opportunities for sustainable agriculture solutions, driven by increasing awareness of soil health, resource efficiency and long-term productivity.
Executive Director of Wastech Group Sdn. Bhd., Nicholas Hii, said,
“Sustainable agriculture begins with healthy soils and efficient nutrient management. Terra Agro Persada’s expertise in restoring soil biological and chemical balance complements our Multigreen® controlled-release fertiliser technology, creating a more complete solution for growers.
By combining healthier soils with improved nutrient delivery, we can help plantations and farmers maximise crop performance, improve fertiliser efficiency and support long-term agricultural sustainability.”
The partnership complements Wastech’s broader strategy of providing integrated agricultural solutions that combine specialty fertilisers, agronomy expertise, irrigation systems, water management solutions and smart agriculture technologies. The addition of biological soil restoration solutions further strengthens the Group’s ability to offer end-to-end crop productivity programmes tailored to growers’ operational and agronomic needs.
The Group believes the future of agriculture will increasingly be driven by integrated solutions that combine soil health, nutrient efficiency, water management and technology-driven farming practices to achieve higher productivity while reducing resource wastage and environmental impact.
While the current collaboration is focused on Indonesia, Wastech is also evaluating the potential introduction of Terra Agro Persada’s solutions into Malaysia, subject to the relevant regulatory and import approval requirements.
As growers increasingly seek solutions that improve both productivity and sustainability, Wastech remains committed to delivering innovations that enhance soil health, optimise nutrient efficiency and support long-term agricultural resilience.
