My name is Mike from Leckat Corporation. We are the distributors for Kekkilä Professional. We provide a very comprehensive support to the growers with the aim to maximise their operational efficiency and productivity. That includes the provision of high-quality farming products as well as the insights found from our local experiments and the technical support. Apart from getting knowledge from our own R&D, we also get the knowledge we need through the strategic collaboration with the industry leaders like Kekkilä Professional. Their online digital platform has allowed us access to technical information and the product features. Johan, their regional sales manager, has been very helpful in providing us the technical advice. We see our relationship with the growers as they are our partners in the agriculture business where their success is our success. We also maintain an active communication channel with the growers that align our objectives more closely with their needs. We also proactively support their innovations in cultivation practices to ensure that the farming techniques are both sustainable and effective. Working with Kekkilä Professional has allowed us to access to their high-quality products and innovations that have set us apart in the market. We have various growing operations in our R&D farms. In the times when we were looking for the high-quality substrates, we integrated Kekkilä Professional products into our standard cultivation process and the integration has proven to be transformative, improving the plant health and plant vigor. And we have successfully achieved the same across different types of crops and this is the reason why they have become our key partners in our supply chain. Hello, I’m the managing director of AA Nursery. Our company was established in 2006. Initially, it was founded by my father and some of his friends. In 2013, my father passed away, and I took over the business until today. We mainly cultivate oil palm seedlings. We are a Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) recognised and CoPN-certified company. We have been using Kekkilä Professional products for the past 7 or 8 years. At first, we were using the Kekkilä Professional OPM 70L substrate. Later on, we switched to the 280L substrate size. Their substrate for seedlings is on the higher side in terms of fibre content. In my opinion, this is advantageous. While retaining moisture, it doesn’t cause excessive humidity. This is better for seedling root development, and reduces plant loss rates. Moreover, Kekkilä Professional's cost-effective prices are quite favourable too. We’ve always maintained a good partnership with Leckat Corporation. They’ve consistently offered us valuable advice, and been receptive to our feedback on products. I feel very glad and fortunate that we found Leckat Corporation and the Kekkilä Professional substrate they supply. The substrate not only improves the plant survival rate of our seedlings in their initial phase, but it also indirectly boosts our company profit. It is our main goal to provide the highest-assured quality oil palm seedlings for all our customers. When our customers are all smiles with their purchases, this shows their satisfaction and confidence towards our products. Looking ahead, I hope we continue providing best quality oil palm seedlings to our customers. We also want to maintain our healthy partnership with Leckat Corporation and ensure that they continue providing us with their high-quality Kekkilä Professional substrate.
