The Covid-19 pandemic has further reinforced the fear that we will be faced with more health challenges as the population grows. Coupled with the need to stay isolated at our homes, it has compelled us to make lasting lifestyle changes. People are becoming more aware of the environmental sustainability and health benefits of organic foods and consequently organic methods of growing them. This naturally drives the demand for organic products and is in fact a tremendous opportunity for BloomBuddy.

BloomBuddy supplies high-quality organic plant nutrition, pesticides and fungicides with an aim to eliminate the toxic chemical formulations currently available in the market, which are heavily detrimental to the environment and to people's health at the same time.
