THE THOHIRA TECHNOLOGY

Discover the power
of beneficial biology.

Organic and biological technologies from Universiti Putra Malaysia, supporting safer produce and more sustainable farming.

What is Thohira?

Thohira is an organic farming technology programme originating from Universiti Putra Malaysia. It brings advanced organic and biological technologies to producers, supporting safer agricultural produce and more sustainable farming.

Beneficial microorganisms, biologics and biological processes are at the heart of Thohira. The programme is designed to help producers reduce reliance on harmful chemical inputs, with applications across agriculture, aquaculture, ruminants and poultry.

From farm to product.

Thohira organic farming technologies can be used in agricultural production. Thohira microorganisms and biological ingredients can also form part of a product, or its technology can be used in product development and production.

The Thohira mark makes that connection visible. Explore what it means and how it relates to individual products.
