West Sumba’s agricultural landscape is entering a new chapter. Farmers who once relied heavily on chemical fertilizers are now turning to organic solutions, seeking healthier soils, more resilient crops, and rice that carries not only nutritional value but also a story of sustainability. At Rotenia, we are humbled to be part of this transformation.
This season, a promising milestone has arrived. Our organic rice fields in West Sumba are now almost ready for harvest, showcasing golden stalks swaying under the island’s bright sun. These fields have been nurtured solely with Rotenia’s organic fertilizer, developed through years of research and a deep commitment to eco-friendly farming.
Why Organic Rice Matters
Organic rice represents more than just a healthier choice for consumers. It is:
- Safer for the environment – free from chemical residues that degrade soil and water.
- Better for farmers – reducing dependency on costly synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
- Nutritious for communities – retaining more natural minerals and flavors.
Proof of Success
We believe in showing, not just telling. Alongside this article, we will share video proof from our fields, documenting the growth journey from seedling to harvest-ready rice. The video highlights how strong, pest-resistant, and fertile these fields have become with the application of Rotenia’s organic fertilizer.
Looking Ahead
This successful harvest is not just a win for Rotenia, but for every farmer who believes that sustainable farming is possible in West Sumba and beyond. Our goal is to scale this effort, empowering more farmers to shift toward organic methods without sacrificing yield or quality.
Organic rice is not the future—it is already here. And with every harvest, we move closer to a healthier land and healthier lives.
