PLAGA FARM:
A LIFE BEYOND FARMING
Started with a conventional open-field agriculture system in 1997, Plaga Farm has been evolved as Bali’s leading hydroponic and organic greenhouse grower and today, under PT Agrito Roman Bali, we have been delivering fresh produce to your table under the leadership of our CEO and founder, I Gede Bingin Mustika. Our company started with a humble mission: to promote a healthier lifestyle, using hydroponic farming methods.
In order to ensure that all of the fruits and vegetables you receive are of the highest quality, innovation becomes one of the essential aspects in our company. Each of the products are a result of many hours of research and development that are cultivated with an organic and hydroponic system. All of them are grown inside a greenhouse, making them unaffected by the seasonal changes. No pesticides are used in growing them, and the optimal environment helps the produce to retain their best qualities without having to rely on preservatives.
What started as a small establishment has now evolved into an outstanding presence in the island of Bali. At its core, Plaga Farm holds the vision to become a leading innovator in the agricultural sector, while creating a sustainable environment for the next generation. Plaga Farm is more than just a farm with uncompromising quality; it is a bearer of change, a movement that aims to bring empowerment as well as environmental and economical improvements to the local communities

WHY HYDROPONIC
Growing plants using hydroponic methods comes with numerous benefits. The system requires less water and no soil, which resulted in better water conservation. Through this system, crops are fed nutrient-rich water. Since water and nutrients are delivered right to the roots, they don’t need more space to spread. Subsequently, more plants can be grown in a designated space, compared to conventional farming methods. With such an optimal and controlled environment, crops can grow faster, with much higher quality.
