The yield of the crops is declining in various places around the world in high soil salinity areas and areas where a large amount of pesticides and fertilizers are used. Due to this influence, the income of farmers has declined and logging of forests to expand the farmlands has been taking place. In order to solve this global problem, our company aims to improve productivity by improving the soil where agriculture crops cannot or hardly grow by utilizing highly concentrated fulvic acid (Fujimin).
・Improve the soil where agricultural crops cannot grow due to a high concentration of salt or large amount of pesticides and fertilizers so agricultural crops can be harvested.・Reduce poverty disparity by raising the yield of agricultural crops and improving agricultural profits.・Suppress the expansion of farmland via deforestation by raising the yield of agricultural crops.

This project has been started to solve the problem of high soil salinity areas where agricultural crops cannot grow accounting for a quarter of the world’s agricultural land. In the first steps of this project, we began soil improvement tests using highly concentrated fulvic acid (Fujimin) in China where is a high salt concentration area.
・The desalination by fulvic acid (Fujimin) in a high salt concentration area in China where agricultural crops could not grow was successful. It enabled the harvest of 10 tons per 1ha (corn) where previously there was no harvest at all.・The desalination by fulvic acid (Fujimin) in coastal areas where the concentration of salt was high due to Tsunami sediments was successful. It enabled the regrowth of a healthy forest which is effective to prevent coastal disaster.
Newly developed highly concentrated fulvic acid (Fujimin) could improve the soil with minimal environment impact. As agricultural crops grow better by improving the soil they are planted in, it is also possible to reduce the amount of pesticide and fertilizer that needs to be used. Soil contamination by agricultural chemicals could also be reduced by reducing the amount of pesticides and fertilizers used. Utilizing fulvic acid can improve damaged soil all over the world and raise the yield of agricultural crops. It is also possible to improve the income of small farmers.
Fujimin is cheaper than other fulvic acid products and a significant effect can be expected by using only a small amount. In addition, it is possible to obtain the effect through a simple usage method without changing the conventional farming method. Moreover, it enables the improvement of agricultural land easily and inexpensively for various types of farmers rather than introducing new machines and farming methods.
