By issuing these patents, besides being able to shift the market of the agricultural industry in the US, it also opens investment opportunities that include factories and equips marketing of these fertilizer products at a global level.
According to Umar, the patents for the technology had several advantages, including: fertilizers produced from low calorie coal base materials that are widely available in various countries.
“This fertilizer is organic and environmentally friendly because it can improve soil conditions quickly and massively so that it is more economical with chemical fertilizers,” Umar said as reported by Kemlu.go.id on Monday.
Umar also explained the fertilizer is the result of development for 11 years through trials and has used various groups of farmers in the country.
“In addition to increase harvest yields. “It also has lower production costs and is able to reduce the use of pesticides so as to minimize side effects to plants or soil,” he continued.

To support these efforts, Glogens has also approved land in California to test coal fertilizer for rice plants, and is preparing additional land in Indiana for corn species.
