WHY GO ORGANIC?
In recent decades, the overutilization of synthetic fertilizers has caused microbial die-off, ground water pollution, and top soil erosion. The growth of plants using chemical fertilizers could weaken the plants and destroy the soil in the long run. Therefore, high NPK numbers provided by chemical fertilizers are not necessarily better for the plants and soil as they may ignore the micronutrient needs of the soil and plants.
With inorganic, or synthetic, garden fertilizers so plentiful and inexpensive, it might make a gardener wonder if it’s really all that important to use organic products instead. After all, it’s all about what works right now and makes the garden beautiful, right? Well…yes and no. In organic gardening,, the overall health of the soil and plants is the main concern, so while synthetic chemical fertilizers may do a job today, organic fertilizers ensure the health of the garden tomorrow.
Organic fertilizers improve the soil. Organic materials and fertilizers improve the soil texture, allowing it to hold water longer, and increase the bacterial and fungal activity in the soil. So, they not only assist your plants, they help the soil. Synthetic fertilizers, on the other hand, deplete the soil of its nutrients, making it unproductive. Alitura Organics bali fertilizers and minerals are full of natural and organic beneficial enzymes, which help to create the process of very healthy soil tilth, essential for the organic process to thrive.
Organic fertilizers are safe. Although you won’t want to eat or drink them (fish emulsion tea is none too tempting), you can rest assured that organic fertilizers are safe for the environment, your family, and your pets. Synthetic fertilizers require a significant amount of fossil fuels to produce and process and often runoff into nearby water sources like streams and lakes.
HOW DO WE CREATE AND DELIVER OUR PRODUCT?
We spend the utmost effort to scout only the best locations throughout Indonesia for our raw materials. We ensure that the raw materials can provide us with the best quality ingredients for all our products—from organic fertilizers to natural insecticide.
Upon securing a potential location, we collect raw material samples and bring them to our factory for in-house laboratory tests. Only locations that meet our high testing standards are used to gather the raw materials. We also provide multiple third party laboratory tests between the gathering process and shipment: when the raw materials arrive at the factory, during the processing activities, and right before packaging the finished product.
As we work with organic materials, we ensure that our facilities and offices adhere to the highest environmental standards. We are one of the few Indonesian companies who are regularly inspected by the Department of Agriculture and provided with satisfactory veterinary certification. This allows us to provide additional guarantee to our customers that we only deliver the best products.
In our effort to collect the raw materials across different locations throughout Indonesia, we also ensure that we build long-term mutually beneficial relations with the local communities. Beyond providing more work and job opportunities for the local workforce, we also organize regular social outreach activities and assist with community development projects and local infrastructure.
Throughout our activities, we also pay careful attention to local environmental management. Aside from following high-standard national and international environmental practices and regulations, we also rely on local communities and wisdom to better manage their resources. This allows us to not only ensure that we preserve the local ecological balance but we also elevate local communities as our partners and stakeholders in the process.
Much as we take pains to ensure our products are made with the best locally-sourced organic materials, we are absolutely committed to our workers and their welfare. We go beyond the national standards and practices to ensure a holistic growth for our staff and workers, from providing a safe workplace to providing social assistance and other benefits.
