Largest Tomato Grower
Disease-resistant Vegetables, South Africa
Growing Big in South Africa
ZZ2 is the largest tomato grower in South Africa, but it also produces appreciable quantities of onions, avocados, apples and pears to local and world’s export markets.
It has 22,000 Ha area of nature conservancy.
ZZ2 has been using EM in its eco-agricultural production activities since 2002.
Approximated production (in tons per year):
・200,000-220,000 T/Y tomatoes
・30,000 T/Y avocadoｓ
・9,200 T/Y onionｓ
・12,000 T/Y apples & pears

EM-treated Fruit Production
Compost and mulch culture without inorganic nitrogen resulted in 30% increase in calcium content of fruits.
ZZ2 has reduced almost 100% of chemical fumigation after the application of EM Technology as well as gained considerable savings. Further, plant diseases had been controlled and the roots have performed a better development.

They also make approximately 1,500,000 L/year of what they called as "compost tea" made of cow manure, humic acids, kelp and other ingredients.
Furthermore, they also produce FPE (Fermented Plant Extract) made of garlic, lemon and other ingredients fermented with EM to prevent plants from harmful insects.
