Why do we require a local agent and what is its role?

The presence of a Local Agent is mandatory, as the Project Promoter (Spire USA Inc.) does not maintain a local presence. Spire contracts the entire management of the ABCDE City Project utilizing an expatriate management team with technicians, with the function of the buy-back agreement to guarantee the market for the harvested produce. For Spire to succeed in their obligations, the local agent must wholly undertake the local management aspect of the project.

  • Management of human resources and the entire production by Spire USA Inc and the local Agent.
  • Marketing of end products in the international organic markets through Buy-Back Agreement of Spire USA Inc.
  • Management of Quality of both local input of raw materials and the output to the international markets.
  • Maintaining the consistency of produce in terms of quality and quantity through management techniques and maintenance of technology by Spire USA Inc and the local Agent.

General Questions

What is BAMM?

BAMMtm (acronym for Backyard Macrobiotic Module) utilizes propreitary technology in a unit incorporating the breeding/growing of both fish (any species of freshwater fish, in tanks atop the ground) and over 40 varieties of vegetables (in grow-beds) within a 6 x 6 m2 footprint.



​ How does BAMM operate?

BAMM utilizes a technology that grows both vegetables and fish within the same system without the use of soil as a medium. It is powered through a solar unit which produces electricity, charging a bore hole water pump to supply water for the re-circulation system in addition to operating O2 generators. The water within each tank is recirculated, and feeds the fish, shrimp and plants with necessary nutrition. As there are no harmful pesticides or fertilizer used within the system, the fish/vegetable/shrimp produce is certified 100% organic.
