Kok Fah Technology Farm CASE STUDY

Singapore, a vibrant yet land-scarce island nation, faces the challenges of high population density and limited available land for agriculture. In this urban landscape, Kok Fah Technology Farm stands as one of the few remaining farms. They play a crucial role in providing fresh greens and bok choy to local markets. However, the intense farming practices over the years have taken a toll on their soil, demanding ever-increasing use of pesticides and fertilizers to maintain crop yields. Kok Fah was in need of a transformative solution - one that would not only tackle their vegetable waste but also revive their soil health sustainably. They sought an effective composting technology that could create nutrient rich compost, be compatible with their existing operations, and be easily transported overseas.

GMT provided a sustainable, customized, and transportable composting system to not only mitigate waste from the farm but also lay the foundation for healthier, more productive farming practices. GMT’s custom Site-Built Earth Flow system was constructed with a 12’ wide and 60’ long greenhouse structure with the mixing technology inside. Installed near the packinghouse, culls and horse manure are easily delivered to receiving bunkers next to the composter. The material remains in the vessel for approximately three weeks before it is discharged, and cured for one month prior to use on the farm beds. Having recognized the importance of investing in technologies, KFTF introduced various high-tech machinery and equipment to assist in the farming processes so as to bring about the improved level of efficiency and productivity.
