There is no denying that the demand in food production and our current agriculture practice remain one of the most critical global challenges of our generation. At JustGood Group, our farming methods and support are centered around technology to drive agriculture progress. By collaborating with the best in business across the food value chain, we democratize knowledge and empower farmers to reshape the way produce is grown โ safe and nutritious.
Our supply for fresh, local produce is procured via two channels.
- JustGood Roots
- JustGood Farms
- Malaysian Good Agricultural Practices (myGAP) Farms
- Malaysian Organic Certification Scheme (myOrganic) Farms
Fresh Produce, Certified Safe
As the centralized procurement for fresh produce, JustGood Farms adheres to a strict quality control process with the highest standards in food safety. Our local produce is ethically and responsibly sourced from myGAP and myOrganic farms.
Malaysian Good Agricultural Practices (myGAP) Farms
myGAP is a globally-recognised standard for safety and quality of produce in agriculture, aquaculture and livestock sector issued by the Malaysian Department of Agriculture. Here are the following criteria to be met in order to be myGAP certified:
- Development and maintenance of sustainable agriculture practice.
- Soil, water and produce analysis to ensure no presence of pesticide residues, heavy metals and bacteria.
- Agriculture produce are of assured quality and able to compete in domestic and international markets.
- Farm audit that meets a set of detailed regulations including the safety and welfare of workers and employees.
All farms under the myGAP certification has a validity of two (2) years. Renewal of certification is only issued if the farm is still in compliance with conditions stated. Regular monitoring will be conducted at least once a year by the Malaysian Department of Agriculture.
Good Agriculture Practice (GAP)
A resource management system in agricultural production on a sustainable basis. This system can improve farm productivity and produce safe, quality food. It also takes into account the welfare, safety & health of workers and employees and preservation of the environment.
Malaysia Good Agriculture Practice (myGAP)
A certification scheme drawn up by the Malaysian Department of Agriculture in 2002, formerly known as Good Practice Scheme of Malaysia (SALM) to recognize farms that practice GAP. The scheme is constructed based on Malaysian Standard MS 1784:2005 Crop Commodities โ Good Agriculture Practices (GAP).
Malaysian Organic Certification Scheme (myOrganic) Farms
myOrganic is a symbol of trust and authenticity established by the Malaysian Department of Agriculture to recognize organic farms that meet the following criteria:
- Farming methods do not pollute land and waterways and ensuring that the environment is preserved.
- Soil and produce analysis to ensure no presence of pesticides residues, heavy metals and microbial.
- Agriculture produce are of assured quality and able to compete in domestic and international markets.
- Farm audit that meets a set of detailed regulations including the safety and welfare of workers and employees.
All organic farms under the myGAP certification has a validity of one (1) year. Renewal of certification is only issued if the farm is still in compliance with conditions stated. Regular monitoring will be conducted at least once in six (6) months by the Malaysian Department of Agriculture.
Malaysian Organic Scheme (SOM)
A certification scheme drawn up by Malaysian Department of Agriculture to recognize farms that practice organic farming based on Malaysian Standard MS 1529:2001 The Production, Processing, Labelling & Marketing of Plant Based Organically Produced Food.

Greens packed with nutrition
Our greens are free from harmful pesticides and additives and as a result, are always fresh and nutritious.
Quality crops, minimal wastage
Using Internet of Things (IoT) to automate control of PH levels, nutrient levels and temperature, we harvest consistent and high-quality batches of produce each time.
Increased quality and yield
Our automated system allows us to make data-driven decisions on how to maximize quality and yield for future batches based on learnings from previous cycle crops.
Safer and kinder to the environment
Soil erosion and fresh water supply are serious threats to global food production. Our sustainable farming methods minimize impact on the environment whilst continuing new ways to ensure future food security.
Our agriculture landscape is facing profound changes such as climate change, economic pressures and an aging farm population. The farmers in Malaysia consists mostly of small-to-medium size businesses, many of them with limited capital, resources and knowledge on how to expand their business. With the objective to encourage farmers to harness their full potential, JustGood Farms engages with agriculture partners all across Malaysia in numerous partnership projects.
Our partnerships with myGAP and myOrganic farms encompass these key areas.
Custom Solutions
We understand that every farmer is unique and has different pain points. To ensure long-term partnership success, our best practices go beyond technical agriculture solutions but also take into account of socio-cultural values, community influences and economic conditions. To that, we develop different processes and tools to tailor solutions based on situations, objectives, size and scope.
Training and Support
We are committed to drive stewardship in farmers. Starting with a top-down approach, our methods include resources and expertise to help lower their cost of production, control pests and diseases and drive better yield of their crops.
Farming Technology
Our collaboration includes empowering farmers with our proprietary Farmers Advisory App. This platform aims to provide real-time data such as weather conditions, humidity, water and soil levels to help farmers monitor their crop growth.
Traceability
All produce procured from myGAP and myOrganic farms come with traceability features under our partnership. Apart from providing pivotal food information to consumers, this also helps farmers to be more accountable as to how they farm their produce.
A wide adoption of sustainable practices requires the support and cooperation of various stakeholders. At JustGood Group, we are committed to play our part in ensuring a sustainable agricultural system that integrates the importance of food safety, environmental policies and socio-economic governance.
