AKAR Farm: A New Beginning for the Future of Indonesian Agriculture

AKAR Farm emerges as a pioneer of vertical indoor farming in Indonesia, addressing land limitations and the growing demand for healthy and sustainable crops. Since its inception in early 2022, this AgriTech company has delivered technology-based solutions tailored to urban needs.

Now, AKAR Farm is entering a new phase, with Narendra Bintang joining as Co-founder alongside Muhammad Farras to strengthen business strategies and expand innovation outreach. This transformation is also supported by strategic collaborations with ANGO Ventures and IndoTech Group, under the leadership of Oscar Darmawan. Since the beginning, ANGO has supported AKAR Farm through funding, business development, and operational strategies, while IndoTech brings fresh energy and innovative approaches to drive aggressive yet focused growth.

The synergy among these three partners forms a solid foundation that marks the beginning of a new chapter for AKAR Farm, positioning it not just as an agricultural company but as a catalyst for systemic change in Indonesia’s agricultural and food sectors.

The Three Pillars of the AKAR Farm Ecosystem

  1. Akar

A supply chain solution that connects farmers, consumers, and businesses. The Akar platform streamlines farm management, ensures transparent crop distribution, and broadens the market reach of agricultural products.

  1. Astama

A specialized unit focused on the construction and operation of greenhouses and indoor farms. Astama enables the development of modular, energy-efficient agricultural facilities that boost productivity even in limited spaces.

  1. Umbi

A financial innovation based on blockchain technology, Umbi applies DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and Real-World Assets (RWA) concepts to tokenize farms. This opens global investment opportunities in Indonesia’s agricultural sector, where each plantation asset can be broken down into transparent, secure digital tokens that generate returns from real harvests.

AKAR Farm’s Vision

AKAR Farm champions a modern, decentralized, and sustainable approach to agriculture, maximizing efficiency in water and space usage. More than 100 plant varieties have been successfully cultivated using pesticide-free systems, creating a healthier food supply chain while empowering both urban communities and local farmers.

The transformation into an integrated ecosystem reflects a strong commitment to building national food resilience, reducing dependency on imports, and making agriculture a relevant and promising sector for the future. Driven by collaboration, sustainability, and technology, AKAR Farm is poised to take significant strides as part of Indonesia’s future food security solution.
