Organa Agriculture Inc. is an Organic Poha berry farm and organic fertilizer manufacturing facility in Wainae area of Oahu, Hawaii. Organa is the manufacturer of three organic products by Mr. Harry Arakaki, President. There is a network of distributors throughout the major Hawaiian islands where these products are a regional success with a truly devout following. All the retail business owners and most employees use and swear by these products, from treating their septic systems to growing prize-winning fruits and flowers.
.
BAM (Beneficial Active Micro-organisms) consisting of:
#
Photosynthetic Bacteria: promotes plant growth and development.
#
Lactic-acid Bacteria: suppresses disease and reduces harmful nematodes.
#
Yeast: promotes active cell and root division.
Fish Meal (Slow release source of nitrogen and phosphorous)
Kelp The alginic acid that is responsible for the moisture holding capacity of kelp fiber reportedly lasts seven years in the soil. The nutrients in kelp fiber are slowly released over a two year period. Kelp fiber is rich in major nutrients N, P, K, and micronutrients that are also needed for healthy plant growth, flowering, and fruit production.
Saponin A natural surfactant that helps water penetrate deeper into dry soil, dissolves soil nutrients and provides good air circulation underground.
Sulfur The sulfur is in a sulfate form (SO4)2. It is a useful nutrient that promotes healthy green leaves and good growth rates.
Wheat Bran or Rice Bran Good source of trace minerals, absorbent material and acts as cultivator for BAM.
History and Use of Leornardite Humic Acids
Leonardite is a naturally occurring hydro-carbon formed in the earth over millions of years by the chemical and biological decomposition of prehistoric plant and animal matter. Being highly decomposed natural humus and subject to significant levels of microbial activity, it contains high concentration of organic humus and folic acids.
Leonardite is not a fertilizer. It acts as a conditioner for the soils and as a biocatalyst and bio-stimulant for plants. Compared to other organic products, leonardite enhances plant growth (biomass production) and fertility of the soil. Leonardite has long term effectiveness and it does not enter into nutritional competition with plants for nutrients such as nitrogen.

Various papers on the practical benefits and uses of Beneficial Microbes have been authored by Mr. Arakaki and he is regarded in high esteem by his dedicated following of customers throughout Hawaii. (Note - older Japanese and Chinese gardeners take the bus to the retail stores just to buy a small 5# bag of Bokashi fertilizer). The three products are Bokashi Super Natural Fertilizer (Bokashi SNF), Organa Kelp Extract and BAM Beneficial Active Microbes BAM is a proprietary liquid combination of living, active cultures resulting in a powerful and cost-effective means of purifying water and improving soil systems, from the micro to the macro, (BAM also has many wonderful uses for farm & garden as well as in the house). When these products are used properly in agriculture there is a cumulative sustainable effect, resulting in the improvement in the health of all major ecological systems, specifically water, soil, plant, human and last but all important, air quality.
The "potential for good" in reversing the trend of non-sustainable agriculture systems and destructive synthetic chemical means of fertilizing has been theorized correctly by Dr. Teruo Higa of Okinawa, who has authored many books and articles, and a world-wide network of users and distributors has sprung up around the products formulated by him and his associates as well as by various manufacturers of products loosely categorized under the name EM or Effective Microbes, (a legally generic term which we freely and legally draw upon for certain useful information purposes). Our position is that in theory Dr. Higa is correct in general; however the products which have been developed by he and others of EM/SCD, are inferior to those of Mr. Arakaki. see competition Mr. Arakaki has consulted with and provided the products for various grass-roots projects in Hawaii as diverse as aquaculture and toxic shoreline clean-up of oil refinery soil contamination. Distributors in Hawaii such as "Olomana Gardens", "Pahoa Feed and Fertilizer" and "The Garden House" are true believers and themselves users of Mr. Arakaki's "miracle" products. (note -the garden house advertises in the newspaper "the magic bokashi all organic super-ono locally made fertilizer- use on all plants! just sprinkle & watch everything jump!") (note also there is an interesting and informative letter written by one of the owners of Olomana gardens,
http://www.olomanagardens.com look on the left sidebar at the bottom under BAM and click on the link. RxBAM.com - is the authorized online representative for marketing/sales and general information outside Hawaii. It was created by Dennis McKenna as a means to spread the word about these amazing products and co-ordinate all world-wide sales/info efforts. Rxbam.com also has strong ties to the Hawaii Organic Farmers Association HOFA, of which Mr. Arakaki is a life member, and is helping to expand marketing and customer base there as well. where we are USDA-ARS testing for efficacy as organic kill step in fruit/vegetable handling/washing/packaging. Preliminary test results should be available at the end of Feb or beginning of March, at the latest. This alone could be huge. We will lobby for a mandate of BAM over chlorine for food wash purposes. Rincon Mountain Avocado Farm has agreed to be a model farm used to test the efficacy of all products. Steve Moret is the owner/operator and has recently begun development of the farm. Salton Sea - a $4.72 million proposal has been submitted (Dec '06) to the Salton Sea Authority SSA for consideration. We are proposing to restore the Salton Sea for $880,000 a year utilizing our BAM product. This will entail construction of a manufacturing facility nearby SS which will produce an abundance of products in addition to what is needed for Salton Sea so as to be a major hub for the south-western areas, such as Mexico, Arizona and of course California. Patagonia - Mr. Yvon Chouinard, CEO of Patagonia, a $180,000,000 per year corporation and author of "Let My People Go Surfing" a best-selling book based on the Patagonia corporate model, has recently received a sample of Bokashi SNF for his personal garden use. We eagerly await his reaction after using. It is thought that with a favorable review doors will open to the many various organic farmers, such as cotton and wool, which supply his clothing company, and that they will immediately begin testing and using our products. Also, a sample of BAM is being sent to the materials testing department of Patagonia for use as a means of speeding the wash of Merino organic wool. Merino wool has been "traditionally' slow-washed in water to soften the wool. More recently this practice was abandoned in favor of using chlorine to speed up this wash cycle, which is necessary to remove the "scale" that occurs naturally on the surface of the wool. Because of Patagonia's commitment to sustainable farming practices, they have gone back to the traditional method of slow water washing without chlorine. Mr. Arakaki believes his BAM product will act much the same as chlorine without the down-side, again speeding up the wash process in an organic way. samples will be sent out from Rx BAM in Los Angeles to Ventura for Patagonia testing around January 12-19, '07. Lyle Anderson Group - Buckeye Arizona development – Rx BAM has been in prelimianry talks with representatives of the Lyle Anderson Development co. They are committed to sustainability as much as practical and have expressed an interest in including our products in many aspects of their billion dollar development of Buckeye Arizona, in the areas of agronomy and waste water management. They estimate that in 30 years there will be over a million people in the Buckeye area, up from a few hundred in the last century.
http://lyleandersonco.com competition - There is one major competitor, under the trade names embokashi, emtechnology, scdtech, emhawaii, etc., comprising a world-wide network of distributors and users of the far inferior "EM" products. These are all the result of Dr Teruo Higa's efforts in developing products and consulting on projects around the world.
pluses & minuses -on the negative side, emtech/scd has been aggressively attempting to utilize their products for about 10 years with varying degrees of success. their success can point to their international network of users and distributors. Also, Dr Higa represents the leading authority in the field of microbes simply by virtue of his books, "An Earth-Saving Revolution" (in two volumes), "A Future Reborn", magazine articles and the many projects attempted around the world. Dr. Higa comes from an academic background and is a relative recent convert to field work, after his accidental discovery. On the plus side Mr. Arakaki has been a farmer all his life with hands on field experience for thirty years. He is a self-taught expert on microbes and capable of conducting and overseeing all aspects of lab testing. We feel Dr Higa is mistaken about some aspects of microbes, which Mr. Arakaki is familiar with and far more authoritative on. The proof of this bold statement is in the efficiency and economy (strength) of organa products. The fact is that the EM factory shut down in Hawaii, and the coconut wireless of farmers there use our products instead. The EMHawaii office is an address, phone and website, but is only available by appointment. Also on the plus side is that emtech/scd has already pioneered or blazed the trail in diversified uses and applications of microbes. Again, with varying degrees of success/failure. These roads or "networks" are now easily accessible to anyone following their footsteps, like us, because these same users of EM products will be primed and educated about microbes, unlike the majority of our future customers who are clueless about microbes. When they compare our products and prices there is no comparison and we will dominate, like our products and like our microbes. Future - the future looks bright. As our knowledge, testing & R&D efforts continue, along with those of our users, more products and uses are inevitable. We are only beginning to pry the secrets out of the fantastic worlds and creatures called microbes. We plan for national and eventually international networks of manufacturing facilities under the guidance and control of Organa Ag and Mr. Arakaki.
Timing - We are on the crest of the wave of the "return to sustainability" on the local and global stage. The "potential for good", through the use of microbes, is compelling. Others have theorized what we are claiming and know our products to be capable of. We have the most powerful microbial products on the market. These products fulfill the potential of the claims of the competition whose products, by comparison barely work, some don't even, i.e. "Jefferson City Project".
Products - New products need to be developed in the areas of human healthcare, such as topical
creams and ointments, nutritional supplements and household goods. For an idea of what our
future product line may resemble look at the emtrading.com website.
