Singaporean researchers create nutrient-rich OBC from soya pulp waste, increasing crop yield and supporting domestic food production goals.

Singaporean researchers have developed Okara Biostimulant Concentrate (OBC) from soya pulp waste, a byproduct of soymilk and tofu production. OBC, a nutrient-rich liquid, increases crop yield by 15-50% when applied to plant roots and has been tested on various crops. This sustainable method addresses environmental concerns associated with daily waste production and supports Singapore's goal of producing 30% of nutritional needs domestically by 2030.
