Prime Global Capital Group Ventures Into Bio-Fertilizer Cultivation Pilot Project to Lower Plantation Costs

KUALA LAMPUR, MALAYSIA--(Marketwired - Aug 25, 2016) - Prime Global Capital Group Inc. (OTCQB: PGCG) ("PGCG" or the Company"), a company, through its subsidiaries, engaged principally in the real estate and plantation businesses in Malaysia, today announced that it recently ventured into a new pilot project of cultivating bio-fertilizer to be solely utilized in its own plantations. This pilot project promises tremendous potential in the long run to PGCG's plantations as it will reduce the plantation's dependence on third party fertilizers, hence lowering its maintenance costs, while at the same time allowing the Company to gain total control of what goes into the soil of its plantations.

The bio-fertilizer contains 30 strains of bacteria containing a strain of bacteria known as Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB). PSB, able to solubilize inorganic phosphorus from insoluble compounds, is known to be one of the most important traits associated with plant phosphate nutrition. Levels of phosphorus in soil need to be managed to optimize crop production. PSB has attracted the attention of agriculturists as soil inoculums which are used to improve plant growth and yield. When PSB is used, it can save about 50% of the crop requirement of phosphatic fertilizer.

At present PGCG has harvested 40 tanks of bio fertilizer which is equivalent to 24,000 liters (each tank holds 600L). The duration for the curing process for each tank is approximately 3 days.

The bio-fertilizer has proved to be uniquely effective for the durian plantation, specifically. Numerous tests have been carried out on sample groups of durian trees over a period of 6 months. The observations recorded include thicker and greener leaves, healthier roots and trunks. Further, it is noted that the soil around the sample group of trees is softer allowing the roots to absorb more nutrients from the bio-fertilizers.

Weng Kung Wong, CEO of PGCG, commented, "It is a cardinal rule in the plantation industry that a good grade fertilizer will most always enhance the health of trees and inadvertently result in the trees bearing good grade fruits. Bio-fertilizers also enhance the immunity of the trees -- making them more resistant to harmful insects and pests. This, in turn, reduces the need for pesticides which are harmful not only to the trees but also to the environment, and addresses the issue of unnecessary use of plastic bottles. We're thrilled to be involved in bio-fertilizer cultivation and look forward to continuing to save cost and yield better fruit and healthier durian trees."

In summary, the benefits derived from using bio-fertilizers are:

1. Cost Efficient - previously 1 liter of bio-fertilizer costs RM30. Now at virtually no cost, this yields a net saving of RM720k (24k liters at RM30/liter) including transport and labor cost;

2. Organic and Environmental friendly - consists of purely bacteria. There are no byproducts of empty bottles, pesticides, transportation pollution; and

3. More Effective - leaves are greener, stronger and more resistant towards insects, resulting in the durian trees producing good grade fruits.

Since bio-fertilizers are bacteria and organic based, there are no concern with over administration of the bio-fertilizer. In addition, since the supply of bio-fertilizer is now at virtually no cost to PGCG, the bio-fertilizers can be administered at more frequent intervals -- providing the durian trees with nutrients at any given time. Bio-fertilizers will be delivered directly to the trees through a vast network of irrigation pipes -- saving even more cost for the Company.
