INO Nature Sdn. Bhd. and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) have announced the extension of their collaboration through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU), held at UTAR Kampar Campus on 5 July 2023. The extended collaboration is built upon ongoing technical collaboration and knowledge exchange with KhaiEL GmbH, and marks the commencement of a new research phase aimed at identifying effective microbial solutions across a comprehensive range of fertilizers, while promoting sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices in Malaysia.

The MoU was signed by the Founder and Managing Director of INO Nature Sdn. Bhd., Mr. Roger Saw Gee Shyang, and the President of UTAR, Ir. Prof. Dato’ Dr. Ewe Hong Tat, in the presence of the Dean of UTAR Faculty of Science (FSc), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Lim Tuck Meng; the Deputy Dean of FSc for R&D and Postgraduate Programme, Dr. Phoon Lee Quen; the Chairperson of the FSc Centre for Agriculture and Food Research, Dr. Tan Yen Nee; as well as Prof. Wong Hann Ling and Dr. Loh Pek Chin from the FSc Department of Biological Science.

Having previously signed a five-year MoU in 2017, INO Nature and UTAR have established a longstanding research partnership, which has resulted in the publication of findings in the Malaysian Journal of Microbiology. Building upon this foundation, the extended collaboration—now supported by the technical and sustainability-driven initiatives of KhaiEL Earth Foods—continues to generate valuable insights into beneficial microorganisms used in foliar and pellet fertilizers. These findings contribute directly to the ongoing development and enhancement of advanced bio semi-organic fertilizer technologies.
