We will be showcasing the agricultural microbial preparation, mycorrhizal fungus "Rootella," aimed at safe and sustainable cultivation such as organic farming and environmentally friendly agriculture. Mycorrhizal fungi help absorb phosphorus and moisture in the soil and support their supply to crops. Period: October 12 (Wednesday) to 14 (Friday), 2022 Venue: Makuhari Messe Link: https://www.agriexpo-week.jp/tokyo/ja-jp.html We sincerely look forward to your visit.

From October 9 to 11, 2019, we exhibited at the first International Livestock Materials EXPO held at Makuhari Messe. We sincerely thank everyone who visited our booth! We showcased fiber gum feed, alpha mite, garlic powder, and calf care powder as feed ingredients for livestock, as well as potassium magnesium sulfate as fertilizer. Fiber gum feed is a "100% natural water-soluble plant fiber" derived from the sap of Acacia trees and is GMO-free. In addition to its expected effects on improving diarrhea in livestock, its potential for improving leaky gut has also been confirmed. We displayed the test results this time, which garnered great interest from agricultural companies and those collaborating with universities. The other three products were exhibited for the first time, making it a great opportunity to introduce them to all attendees. If you would like to know more about our products and ingredients, please feel free to visit our product page or contact us. We look forward to your continued support of our products.
