Indonesia is one of the largest producers and consumers of chili peppers, particularly cabai merah keriting (curly red chili). This high-value horticultural crop is essential for food security, local cuisine, and farmer livelihoods. However, chili farming is labor- and input-intensive, with sensitive growth cycles and vulnerability to pests, diseases, and soil degradation.
At Prima Agro Tech, we offer an integrated, microbial-based solution tailored for chili cultivation — helping farmers manage disease, boost productivity, and build a more resilient farming ecosystem.
Chili is a nutrient-hungry, stress-sensitive crop with a long growing period (up to 4–5 months). Across both highland and lowland areas, chili farmers face:
Acidic soils that limit nutrient absorption
– Fusarium wilt and root rot caused by Pythium and bacteria
– Thrips and insect pressure during vegetative growth
– Low fruit set and underdeveloped fruit during the generative phase
– Transplant shock and slow early growth
– High dependency on chemical inputs and costly pesticides
Microbial solution program is designed to tackle these exact problems — backed by science, refined through field research.
