About West Borneo Observation
WEST BORNEO OBSERVATION is an Indonesian kratom supplier company, founded in 2014, that underwent significant changes in its standard operating procedures in 2020. It was established based on concern and regulatory impetus, supported by manufacturers who adhere to food quality standards. This is in accordance with the provisions set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO), which require every consumer goods industry to implement Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in their processes.
In response to numerous reports and complaints regarding the quality of exported kratom from Indonesia, we found that many processes did not meet reasonable requirements for standardization. Observing this phenomenon, it prompted us to undertake a major overhaul in 2020, particularly in the pre-harvest, harvest, and post-harvest production sectors of kratom commodities, to meet international GMP and Food Grade standards.
Our facilities are our main weapon. There are investments that cannot be valued materially. It is one of our top priorities to continuously develop and strive to always deliver the best for our customers.
- Harvesting:
The sorting process during harvesting significantly influences the alkaloid content quality. By considering the main points, namely: characterizing mature trees and leaves (chlorophyll level above 80%, mature leaves, and harvesting at the right time, which is in the morning, with extensive experience in the kratom industry, we are ready to serve you with the finest products. - Quality Blanching leaves process with food grade machine
The main purpose of blanching is to deactivate enzymes in food materials, including peroxidase and catalase enzymes. These two types of enzymes are the most heat-resistant. However, blanching not only deactivates enzymes but also helps to eliminate some of the microorganisms present in the raw material. Blanching is also beneficial for washing and removing any negative physical contaminants from the harvesting process. - Quality Drying process and Moisture Level test with food grade machine
The drying process is divided into 2 stages:
a. Drying using indirect sunlight (free from ultraviolet) indoors, using partitioned racks for approximately 3 hours until the moisture content reaches around 40% at a temperature of 35 – 45 degrees Celsius.
b. The second stage continues with a rotary drying machine and a conveyor dehydrator. The drying is carried out at a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius to achieve the best results, reducing the moisture level to 9% – 12%. This ensures that the alkaloid content present in the leaves remains unaffected. This method is intended to prevent fungal growth and extend the product’s shelf life. Our method has been proven through laboratory tests, demonstrating satisfactory results. - Quality Milling process with food grade machine
The milling process is performed using a powder pulverizer grinding machine with food grade standart. The advantages of this machine include being free of metal contamination, having adjustable temperature to avoid decreasing alkaloid content, and having adjustable mesh size. - Quality mixing process with food grade machine
The mixing process is carried out using a rotary mixer machine that complies with food-grade standards. As a result, the obtained product will undoubtedly meet the standards of cleanliness and hygiene in terms of product quality. - Quality Sifting process with food grade machine
The main purpose of this process is to avoid negative physical contamination in the product. As a result, the final output of our product can be ensured to meet all the criteria of cleanliness and hygiene according to the standard. - laboratorium test
That sounds commendable. Being affiliated with a government-owned laboratory for quality testing ensures that your products undergo thorough examination for safety from bacteria, metals, and, of course, to ensure the best levels of mitragynine content. This collaboration with a reputable laboratory further strengthens the credibility and reliability of your products, providing consumers with the confidence that they are consuming safe and high-quality kratom products. - Packaging, storage, and shipment.
We have a subsidiary in the field of shipping. So that we can monitor the shipping directly. Also, our customers can easily to track their products, because we provide tracking number and updating where the product is.
Currently, we already have two warehouses that we get from the cooperation program with a larger wholesaler. Our warehouses are located in Indonesia and state of south carolina.
Our facilities are our main weapon. There are investments that cannot be valued materially. It is one of our top priorities to continuously develop and strive to always deliver the best for our customers.
