What Pandawa Agri Indonesia does

Pandawa Agri Indonesia (PT. Pandawa Agri Indonesia), founded in 2014 and headquartered in Banyuwangi, East Java, is a privately held life science-based company that develops and commercializes proprietary pesticide reductant technology. Its core science platform comprises (i) Reductant products (WEED Solut-ioN, Pest Solut-ion, Envros, and the newer Yosky Pro P-Glufosinate 200 SL line) that reduce pesticide and herbicide usage by up to 50% while maintaining efficacy, leveraging a patented biocatalyst process that produces 100% L-Glufosinate via secondary metabolite fermentation by Streptomyces sp.; and (ii) PPAI Technology, an integrated ten-step science-based intervention combining certified seeds, reductants, biological agents, mycorrhizae, straw decomposers, and Balance Solution biochar soil enhancer across the rice, coffee, palm oil, and chili cultivation cycle.

The company operates a hybrid B2B revenue model combining direct enterprise field sales to large plantations, distributor-led international expansion (notably to Malaysian palm oil giant FGV Agri Services since 2021), and public-private partnership programs that embed PPAI Technology in smallholder rice and coffee farming. Named enterprise customers include Wilmar, FGV Agri Services, and Danone Indonesia; government and institutional partners include Bulog (Indonesia's national food agency) for the Mitra Tani program, the Government of Banyuwangi, and IPB University for GHG validation. The firm monetizes through reductant product sales, integrated technology packages with agronomic services, and technology licensing/royalties for international deployments, with a stated ambition to expand production capacity up to 50x and to develop the first low-carbon coffee SOPs in Asia on 10,000 hectares of Lampung coffee. As of 2024, PAI holds ISO 9001, Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification (first in Indonesia for basic chemicals), B Corp certification (28th in Indonesia), and the First Place SMEs/Startup award at Indonesia's SDGs Action Awards 2024.

The business is supported by 11–50 employees, a venture-builder investment from Terratai in 2024, and an international footprint spanning Indonesia and Malaysia with stated expansion interests across ASEAN, Africa, and Latin America. Quantified outcomes include up to 40% agricultural-input cost savings for customers, 50%+ carbon emission reduction, 24% methane reduction in rice cultivation, 25.84%–31.11% productivity gains, and 40.59%–176.20% net-profit improvements for participating farmers versus conventional practice.

PAI provides PPAI Technology packages (certified seeds, pesticide reductants, fertilizers, bioagents) and agronomic support, while Bulog handles supply chain integration, direct crop purchases, and financing. The pilot project covered 31 hectares producing over 150 tons of rice in its first season. Bulog aims to expand the program to up to 700,000 hectares nationwide, with potential expansion to 100,000 hectares in Banyuwangi alone.
• WilmarcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 5 September 2024PAI partnered with Wilmar Kalimantan Tengah to deliver a Sustainability Education Forum titled 'Educate to Innovate' covering sustainable agriculture and pesticide safety. The forum was attended by more than 60 employees including sprayers, field coordinators, plantation managers, and Plantation Head. PAI also supplies WEED Solut-ioN herbicide reductant to Wilmar plantations, contributing to Wilmar's sustainability goals, worker health protection, and carbon emission reduction.
• Danone IndonesiacoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2024PAI and Danone Indonesia collaborate on RiceVitalize, Indonesia's first smallholder ecosystem for biofortified rice. The initiative addresses malnutrition contributing to childhood stunting while empowering smallholder farmers through regenerative agriculture. PPAI Technology and Alternate Wetting and Drying methods reduce chemical inputs and emissions. The biofortified rice varieties contain 25-50% more zinc and iron than conventional varieties, with yields up to 6.28 tons per hectare. IPB University conducted independent GHG emission measurements. More than 2,000 mothers and children have received access to nutritious food through biofortified rice distribution.
• Government of BanyuwangicoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2024The Banyuwangi Regency Government is a strong supporter of PAI's initiatives including the Mitra Tani program and RiceVitalize. The government provides institutional support, helps control regional inflation through stable agricultural production, and participates in the integrated rice ecosystem alongside PAI, Danone, and Bulog. The government has expressed interest in expanding PPAI Technology to all farmers in Banyuwangi.
• FGV Agri Services Sdn Bhd (Malaysia)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2021Since 2021, PAI has collaborated with FGV Agri Services in Malaysia to introduce its pesticide reductant technology, helping reduce pesticide use and promote sustainable agriculture.
