ITOCO INC. announced that it has signed an MOU with International ASEAN Corporation (IAC) to develop agricultural land rehabilitation Initiatives in land holdings of Ingonyama Trust, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. IAC and ITOCO propose to establish new agricultural businesses using ITOCO's nopal cactus SOIL RESCUE PROGRAM to create new financial, investment and income streams by collaboration with local communities on lands owned by the Trust. The mission of the Ingonyama Trust is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the members of the traditional communities living on Ingonyama Trust land by ensuring that land management is to their benefit.

ITOCO's Soil Rescue Program offers a 360-economy that rehabilitates arid lands so they can once again be productive and provide local communities with income, food security, increased land values and more.
