With the rising food insecurity in Malaysia, more and more Malaysians are adopting gardening to grow their own produce and for some, agriculture has even become a profession. Even with inflation, the demand for fresh vegetables and fruits is constantly on the rise.

This is where Qarbotech intends to lend a helping hand with their product, QarboGrow. By increasing the efficiency of a plant’s photosynthesis process, they believe vegetable and fruit production will be increased by 30% among other benefits, including a 25% reduction in the crop cycle.

According to a recent World Bank Report, Malaysia has yet to realise the full potential of digital technologies to boost small media enterprise (SME) productivity. Many Malaysian firms that sought to turn to digital solutions over the last two years have only used them for basic customer-facing functions such as a social media presence.

Dedicated to supporting SME on their digital journey and improving their productivity and competitiveness, Agmo Holdings have developed more than 100 mobile applications to help SMEs on their journey.
