Nurture with care
This pertains to all aspects of our business. From saplings nursing, to grating and planting, managing and harvesting, our workers are committed to make sure all task are done professionally and efficiently.
We, at Newleaf Plantation are serious about protecting the environment, we do not use any pesticides (herbicides, fungicides and insecticides)! Thanks to our custom designed irrigation system we are able to reply solely on rain, river and pond water to hydrate our young durian plants. This method of water conservation is extremely beneficial to the future of our planet.
Waste is recycled as mulch in the orchard. This mulch not only helps the soil to retain water, it also helps to balance the soil temperatures from becoming too hot or too cold and even protects sloping land from soil erosion. This type of organic mulch breaks down overtime, providing an environment that encourages the growth of the earthworms and other beneficial insects.
iFarm – Newleaf’s intelligent farming system
Unlike the traditional farming method, iFarm is the most advanced technology for around-the-clock durian orchard supervision and durian yield optimisation. Meanwhile, we are able to access the latest date and updates of the durian trees via unique QR codes.
A low durian yield is caused by vicarious problems that come with the traditional farming method. With iFarm – the intelligent farming system, we are confident that these problems are solved once and for all to maintain the durian yield.
