The Vice President of The Gambia, His Excellency Mohammed B.S Jallow last week received at his office the Chairman of Kuntaur Area Council (KAC), Hon. Saihou Jawara, together with the CEO and founder of Harvest Harmonics, Francesco Arlia Jr.
The crux of the meeting was the introduction and discussion of an innovative farming technology known as the “Kyminasi Plant Booster,” aimed at improving the agricultural sector and ensuring sustainable food production in The Gambia.
Hon. Saihou Jawara underscored the importance of agriculture and described it as the backbone of The Gambia’s economy. He shared insights into his encounter with Francesco Arlia Jr during his participation in the World Conference of Mayors in the United States, where discussions were initiated regarding potential collaborations to enhance agricultural activities in the country.
The CEO of Harvest Harmonics, Francesco Arlia Jr, explained that the Kyminasi Plant Booster is one-of-a-kind technology that is the future of farming.
“It is a technology that utilises bio-resonance as opposed to chemicals so we can grow food organically without the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides.This will help reduce the cost of farming in the country and also improve the quality of land, production of food and quality of water, because by reducing the chemical usage for agriculture, you also improve the quality of water in the country,” Francesco. elucidated.
In response, Vice President Jallow extended the full support of the Government towards this pioneering initiative, reaffirming The Gambia’s commitment to fostering partnerships with international collaborators for national development.
Kyminasi Plant Booster is activated when water first flows past it. It is custom-sized for each farm and designed to work with all crops planted on soil. No power system or maintenance is required. Irrigation devices use an advanced signalling system to boost photosynthesis and crop yields in plants.
