 EMFPE
(EM Fermented Plant Extract)
Why Ferment?
Fermentation – “breaking down into simpler components”. The
microbes do all the ‘breaking down’ work.
Benefits:
• Nutritional value of food goes up!
• Preservation of raw foods
• Detoxification of toxic chemicals
• Improves digestibility
• Doesn’t use heat – retains enzymes, vitamins and
nutrients
 EMFPE
(EM Fermented Plant Extract)

• EMFPE is used mainly for agriculture

• EMFPE contains bioactive substances and minerals

from plant which are extracted through a
fermentation process.
 EMFPE
(EM Fermented Plant Extract)
Usage (Diluted with water ratio of 1:100-500)
• Watering the plant with the solution.

• Spray the dilution on the leaves.

→These treatments enhance growth, quality of product

and improve immune systems of plants.
