About EM Certification

EM is a people-friendly and environmentally safe product of EMRO (EM Research Organization, Inc) that achieves synergistic effects by combining beneficial microorganisms which exist in nature, such as lactic acid bacteria, yeast and phototrophic bacteria.

It was developed by Professor Teruo Higa, a then professor of University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan in 1982. EM brand, under his instruction, represents a line of microbial products that are used in numerous fields including agriculture, animal husbandry, environmental purification and health care in more than 100 countries around the world.

EMRO first adopted EM Certification Marks in 2011, so that our customers can choose products with assured quality. Only the products manufactured by our authorized partners have EM Certification Marks on the label.
