The firm, which is located in Mwea, converts farm waste into fertiliser. After that we do the milling and mix with our special formula to come up with the organic fertiliser,” he says. “We can produce 3.5 tonnes of fertiliser every day, which can serve up to 5,000 farmers,” Rigu says. Rigu says organic fertiliser is the solution to increasing farm yield in the face of dwindling productivity because farmers are unable to access affordable and effective farm implements. “Using the organic fertiliser will cut down the cost of rice production by 20 per cent and increase farm productivity by up to 30 per cent,” he says.
