About us and our product offerings
SCFA stands for sustainable and efficient agriculture input services focusing on:
- Increasing the net income of (small) farmers,
- The ability for (small) farmers to diversify and grow cash crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers etc.
- Reduce the input of water,
- Reduce the nutrient input but increase yield.
This can be accomplished by introducing easy to use fully water soluble nutrients in combination with simple and affordable drip irrigation systems. Such systems work either on gravity or via solar powered irrigation pumps. Additionally one tunnel greenhouses can be added.

Our core business: water soluble nutrients and affordable irrigation processes
Water soluble nutrients are nutrients, which dissolve easily in water and are immediately available for plant use. Benefits of water soluble nutrients include:
- very low chlorine content
- low Na & biuret level
- low salt index (EC)
- high purity, free of toxic compounds
- ideally-chelated Metal trace elements (NPK’s)
- complete solubility and the total absence of residues due to high- quality raw materials
- color coded for easy identification
- highly reliable and consistent product quality through strict evaluation procedures
Drip irrigation is an irrigation method that saves water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant.
