Chemiseed is based in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. All seed is provided with quality documentation suitable for procurement and tender (lelang) submissions, and seed consignments to Indonesia travel with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA) for export, on request. For a quotation (penawaran) or tender enquiry, use our quotation form or contact Windhi, our Indonesia representative.
How government purchases work in Indonesia. Indonesian government agencies buy through registered Indonesian suppliers, and use domestic products and the e-Katalog where these are available (Perpres 46/2025). Chemiseed does not bid in Indonesian government tenders itself: we supply the Indonesian supplier, contractor or estate that holds the contract, with the quotation and documents its tender needs. Import permits and registrations in Indonesia are arranged by the importing buyer.

SoilBoost EA Soil Conditioner
SoilBoost EA is a humic acid soil conditioner manufactured exclusively for Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd. and Kudzu Seeds Trading (humic acid, pH 3.84, 0.45% sulfur as sent or 0.61% on a dry-weight basis, Leonardite-derived; typical analysis, certificate of analysis for the batch supplied on request). It supports degraded and replanting soils. It is not a fertiliser substitute and not a disease treatment.
Bulk and Tender Quantities
We supply seed in bulk volumes to the suppliers and contractors who bid in agency tenders (lelang), with germination testing and quality certificates for their procurement and tender documentation.

A Malaysian supplier (Sdn. Bhd.) headquartered in Subang Jaya, Selangor, exporting to Indonesia with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA) for export, on request, and a dedicated Indonesia representative for local support.
Use Cases for Government and Institutional Buyers
Land Development and Replanting Programmes (including PSR)
Leguminous cover crops are standard practice in new and replanted oil palm and rubber areas, where they fix nitrogen, suppress weeds, and protect soil during the establishment phase. They fit naturally into smallholder replanting (peremajaan) programmes such as Peremajaan Sawit Rakyat (PSR), Indonesia's national smallholder oil palm replanting programme administered through BPDPKS. Chemiseed supplies the cover crop seed and SoilBoost EA used on replanting blocks; we do not administer the PSR programme itself. See our replanting guide for agronomic detail.
Reforestation (Reboisasi) and Watershed Rehabilitation
Cover crops restore nitrogen to depleted soils and reduce erosion during tree establishment, supporting reforestation (reboisasi and penghijauan) and watershed (DAS) rehabilitation programmes. CM and PJ are commonly used for soil restoration during tree establishment.
Erosion Control on Cleared and Sloping Land
PJ and CM establish roots quickly on exposed subsoil, helping bind soil and reduce surface runoff on cleared replant land, cut slopes, and sloping plantation terrain. See our erosion control guide for agronomic detail.
Smallholder and Cooperative Programmes
Smallholder support programmes and farmer cooperatives (koperasi) can include cover crop establishment to protect soil and contribute nitrogen. We can supply seed in programme-scale quantities with the documentation needed for institutional distribution. See our smallholder guide.
Cover Crop Seeding Rates
| Species | Establishment | Pure stand | Component of a mixture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pueraria javanica (PJ) | Broadcast | About 4 kg/ha (Tropical Forages) | 5 to 7.5 kg/ha with 1 to 1.5 kg/ha CC (Tropical Forages); 4 kg/ha in the MPOB TT No. 501 mixture |
| Calopogonium mucunoides (CM) | Broadcast | Set on the quotation | Set on the quotation |
| Centrosema pubescens (CP) | Broadcast | 3 to 5 kg/ha (Tropical Forages) | 3 kg/ha in the MPOB TT No. 501 mixture |
| Calopogonium caeruleum (CC) | Broadcast | No published rate for CC sown alone; set on the quotation | 1 to 1.5 kg/ha with 5 to 7.5 kg/ha PJ (Tropical Forages); 1 kg/ha in the MPOB TT No. 501 mixture |
| Mucuna bracteata (MB) | Nursery-raised, transplanted, never broadcast | Published plantings: 320 seedlings/ha, two per palm point, from about 500 seeds (75 g) (MPOB TT No. 501, on peat), and 680 seedlings/ha at 1.5 m spacing (Samedani et al. 2015, on mineral soil). Not quoted in kg/ha. | |
MB is established from nursery-raised seedlings and transplanted, not broadcast. For a mixture, a published reference is MPOB TT No. 501 (Information Series 588, June 2012), Table 1 treatment C2: PJ 4 : CP 3 : CC 1, total 8 kg/ha, with 5 g of Rhizobium (RRI strain) inoculant per kg of seed. It is an institutional best-management-practice recommendation from a peat trial, not a primary field measurement, and MPOB does not state whether the total is per gross hectare or per interrow hectare actually sown. SoilBoost EA, where used, is applied at 50 to 100 kg/ha by broadcast or 10 to 15 kg/ha by drench. The rates for your site are set on the quotation.
Phytosanitary documentation
Seed consignments to Indonesia travel with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA) for export, on request. Indonesian import permits and admissibility remain the buyer's responsibility, and SoilBoost EA, being a mined mineral product rather than plant material, generally does not require a phytosanitary certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Chemiseed supply cover crop seeds for Indonesian government and institutional projects?
Yes, through the Indonesian suppliers, contractors and estates that hold those contracts. Indonesian agencies buy through registered Indonesian suppliers, so Chemiseed, a Malaysian company (Sdn. Bhd.), supplies them with cover crop seeds (PJ, MB, CM, CP, CC) and SoilBoost EA soil conditioner in bulk and tender quantities for plantation, reforestation and erosion control programmes. We have supplied agricultural inputs since 2003, and seed consignments travel with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA) for export, on request.
Which Indonesian agencies and institutions can use cover crop seed?
Cover crop seed and soil conditioners are relevant to buyer categories such as the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementerian Pertanian), provincial plantation offices (Dinas Perkebunan), state plantation companies (PTPN), reforestation and watershed programmes, and farmer cooperatives (koperasi). These are listed as potential buyer categories, not as existing clients.
Do cover crops fit the PSR (Peremajaan Sawit Rakyat) programme?
Yes. PSR provides government support for smallholder oil palm replanting through BPDPKS, and the replant window is exactly when a protective legume cover is most valuable on cleared land. Cover crops fit naturally into a peremajaan programme. Chemiseed supplies the seed and SoilBoost EA; it does not administer PSR or any other government programme.
Can Chemiseed provide documentation for tender submissions?
Yes. Chemiseed can provide seed quality certificates, germination test reports, species datasheets, and formal quotations suitable for government and institutional procurement. Seed consignments to Indonesia travel with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA) for export, on request.

References and limitations: Seeding rates are from Tropical Forages (CIAT and ILRI 2020); Mucuna bracteata plantings are from MPOB TT No. 501 and Samedani et al. (2015), International Journal of Agriculture and Biology 17(2): 251-260; the mixture specification follows MPOB TT No. 501 / Information Series 588 (June 2012), an institutional best-management-practice recommendation from a peat trial rather than a primary field measurement. Rates should be confirmed per site with agronomic advice. SoilBoost EA specification values (pH 3.84; 0.45% sulfur as sent, 0.61% on a dry-weight basis) are typical analysis run per batch on request, not guaranteed constants, and they vary between batches; a certificate of analysis for the batch supplied is available on request. Agencies and institutions named on this page (Kementerian Pertanian, Dinas Perkebunan, PTPN, reforestation and watershed programmes, and koperasi) are listed as potential buyer categories only and are not stated to be existing Chemiseed clients. PSR (Peremajaan Sawit Rakyat) is the Indonesian government's smallholder oil palm replanting programme administered through BPDPKS; Chemiseed supplies inputs used on replanting blocks and does not administer PSR or any other government programme.
