“Skeepon” Featured in California local newspaper

Tokyo, Japan – May 30, 2025 – Ac-Planta Inc. (Head Office: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jong-Myong Kim) We are excited to share that our flagship product  Skeepon was featured in a front-page article of the Daily Democrat, a leading local newspaper in California, USA.

Published on May 29, the article—titled “Yolo County Farmer Gains Attention with Climate-Resilient Farming Technologies”—spotlights Ray Yeung, a tomato grower in Yolo County, California, who is embracing advanced agricultural technologies to address extreme heat and water stress. The piece introduces his use of AI-based irrigation systems as well as his successful integration of Skeepon into field operations.

“While other products try to change the environment around the plant, Skeepon changes the plant itself,” Yeung told the Daily Democrat. He emphasised the biostimulant’s ability to reduce transplant shock and improve heat resilience—key advantages in California’s increasingly harsh farming conditions.

Ac-Planta is honoured that Mr. Yeung’s use of Skeepon was featured as part of an innovative response to climate change in U.S. agriculture. We remain committed to supporting growers worldwide with solutions that enhance plant resilience and ensure stable food production under extreme environmental stress.
