With its sights set on a cleaner, greener planet, the Philippine biotech trailblazer joins the world’s foremost organic agriculture network.

July 3, 2025 – San Fernando City, La Union – The race toward sustainable food and agriculture just gained a powerful new contender. AA Biotek Enterprises OPC, the country’s rising innovator in probiotic and eco-remediation technologies, today announced that it has secured full membership in the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM)—a milestone that propels the home-grown company onto the global organic agriculture map.

“IFOAM membership isn’t merely a badge; it’s an entry pass to a worldwide community committed to transforming the food system,” said Edwin B. Espiloy, President & CEO of AA Biotek. “For a young Filipino enterprise like ours, this is the moment we’ve been gearing up for—it validates our science, our sustainability philosophy, and our long-term vision.”

What is IFOAM and Why It Matters

Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Bonn, Germany, IFOAM—Organics International is the world’s umbrella organization for the organic movement, representing more than 700 affiliates in over 100 countries. The federation sets high-level principles, advocacy platforms, and best-practice standards that guide policy makers, farmers, researchers, and businesses toward ecological, social, and economic sustainability in food and farming. Membership is granted only to entities that demonstrate a proven commitment to organic principles—making AA Biotek’s inclusion a ringing endorsement of its eco-friendly probiotic technologies, regenerative agriculture programs, and community-centric business model.

A Milestone With Global Reach

By joining IFOAM, AA Biotek gains:

  • Access to cutting-edge organic research & policy forums—accelerating R&D for next-gen probiotic microbial consortia and bio-complementary solutions.

  • Credibility in international markets — opening doors for export and collaboration across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Africa.

  • A powerful advocacy platform—allowing AA Biotek to help shape global discussions on food security, climate resilience, and nutrient-dense crop production.


Driving Sustainable Impact

Chief Governance Officer Amelia A. Espiloy highlighted the membership’s broader significance:

“Our mission has always been to offer farmers, aquaculturists, and local governments a viable path away from chemical dependence. Becoming part of IFOAM emboldens us to scale those impact initiatives—especially in climate-vulnerable regions where organic practices are both an environmental imperative and a livelihood lifeline.”

Within the next 12 months, AA Biotek plans to roll out IFOAM-aligned training programs for smallholder farmers and launch a pilot Organic Aquaculture Initiative powered by its flagship probiotic consortia.
