About Asia Eco Farm

Asia Eco Farm is a vertically integrated OEM/ODM manufacturer of certified organic Sacha Inchi oil, protein powder, and custom softgel capsules. Headquartered in Singapore, with farming and processing operations in Malaysia and Laos, we supply finished-goods-ready bulk ingredients and private label supplements to brands across the supplement, wellness, cosmetic, culinary, and pet nutrition industries worldwide.

The company was founded in Laos in 2014 by Caleb Lim, three years after the first Sacha Inchi vines were planted in the mountains of Northern Laos. What began as a partnership with a handful of hillside farming families is today a group spanning Singapore, Malaysia, Laos and China — but the founding purpose has not changed: build a crop that lifts rural incomes, and build the manufacturing capability to take it to the world.

We are not a trading company or broker. Every kilogram of Sacha Inchi we supply originates from our own certified organic farms — giving our B2B partners a shorter, more transparent supply chain than commodity sourcing alternatives, and a genuinely differentiated sustainability story they can pass on to their consumers.

Our Vision

Asia Eco Farm was built around two commitments that our founder set out from the very first planting season:

• To reduce rural poverty in Laos — by giving upland farming families a perennial cash crop, guaranteed offtake, and the training to grow it well.
• To widen access to education — supporting schooling opportunities for students from low-income families in the communities we work alongside.

Commercially, that translates into a single long-term goal: to be the leading innovator in Organic Agrotechnology across Asia — empowering developing nations and local farming communities to cultivate a sustainable future through carbon-negative agricultural practices.

Our Mission

• Pioneer organic agrotechnology solutions that are commercially viable for smallholder farmers in developing countries.
• Empower local farming communities in Malaysia and Laos through fair-trade partnerships and skills transfer.
• Promote carbon-negative farming practices — Sacha Inchi is a deep-rooting perennial that sequesters carbon while producing high-value, globally traded ingredients.
• Deliver premium, traceable ingredients that help B2B brands meet rising consumer and regulatory demands for organic, allergen-free, sustainable sourcing.

Our Aims

• Broaden the Sacha Inchi portfolio — developing both food and non-food applications of the crop, including cosmetic and skin care formulations, so that more of each harvest reaches a higher-value end use.
• Expand into new markets — extending our manufacturing and distribution footprint beyond Southeast Asia to serve brand partners in additional countries.
• Keep the value at origin — processing rather than simply exporting raw seed, so the margin from cold-pressing, roasting and encapsulation stays in the regions that grow the crop.

Our Story — The Development

Asia Eco Farm's history runs from the first trial plots in Northern Laos to a multi-country group with its own cold-press facility, marketing arms and formulation company.

Why Southeast Asia?

The global Sacha Inchi narrative has historically been dominated by Peru, where the crop originates. Asia Eco Farm represents a fundamentally different supply chain model — one rooted in Southeast Asian geography, where the tropical growing conditions in Laos and Malaysia produce Sacha Inchi with comparable fatty acid profiles to Peruvian sources, while offering several structural advantages for B2B buyers:

• Supply chain geography: Shorter sea freight to East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania markets. Competitive lead times vs. South American supply.
• Regional regulatory familiarity: Singapore HQ provides access to ASEAN regulatory frameworks, SFA (Singapore Food Agency) oversight, and established export infrastructure.
• Market positioning: For buyers in Asia who want to highlight regional, sustainable sourcing — "Southeast Asia origin" is a genuine differentiator vs. South American commodity supply.
• Growing-region growth: Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing Sacha Inchi market globally (projected 14% CAGR 2024–2032), and local supply serves local demand more efficiently.

The Sacha Inchi Market

Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) is one of the fastest-growing specialty ingredient categories in the global supplement industry. The market was valued at approximately USD 107–170 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 390 million by 2032 at a 12.6% CAGR (highest-estimate forecasts; conservative estimates put the 2034 market at USD 165 million at ~5% CAGR). The Asia Pacific region is growing at 14% CAGR — faster than the global average.

Growth is driven by converging tailwinds: rising consumer demand for plant-based Omega-3 alternatives to fish oil, the expansion of allergen-free and vegan protein categories, and increased B2B brand interest in supply chain sustainability credentials as part of ESG and clean-label strategies.
