INTRODUCTION

Unlocking the Potentials of Organic Fertilizer Production

1.1 Background Of The Study

Organic fertilizer production is manufacturing fertilizers from natural animal manure and compost.
Organic fertilizer production is the process of manufacturing fertilizers from natural animal manure,
compost, and agricultural waste. These organic fertilizers are rich in essential nutrients that benefit plant
growth and can improve soil health.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for organic fertilizers due to growing concerns
about the environmental impact of conventional chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizers offer several
advantages, including promoting sustainable agriculture, reducing soil erosion, and minimizing water
pollution.

A feasibility study on organic fertilizer production assesses the viability and profitability of establishing a
facility or business for producing organic fertilizers. This study includes various aspects such as market
analysis, production process, cost analysis, and potential revenue streams.

By conducting a feasibility study, one can better understand the market dynamics, competition, and
potential challenges associated with organic fertilizer production. It helps make informed investment,
resource allocation, and business planning decisions.

The findings of a feasibility study on organic fertilizer production can guide entrepreneurs, investors, and
stakeholders in determining the feasibility of establishing a successful organic fertilizer production
facility. It gives a good perspective into this venture's potential benefits, risks, and opportunities.

Overall, a well-executed feasibility study plays a crucial tool in resolving the viability and profitability of
organic fertilizer production, helping businesses to decide and achieve high chances of success in this
growing industry. These organic fertilizers are rich in essential nutrients that benefit plant growth and
can improve soil health.
Theoretical Framework

Organic fertilizers are better agriculture practices for the protection of the soil; they pointed out that
bad practices reduce nutrients in the ground, resulting in at least 38 percent degradation.

Message during the 71st anniversary of the Bureau of Soils and Waste Management (BSWM), Villar
underscored the need to produce organic fertilizer from agricultural residues like rice straw, corn stover,
and animal manure, among others, to replace inorganic, synthetic, or chemical fertilizers. The soil must
be taken care of to have a productive harvest and lower hunger and food insecurity in the country
(Wilnard Bacelonia, June 13, 2022).

Organic fertilizers are naturally obtainable mineral sources that contain moderate amounts of plant
essential nutrients. They are capable of alleviating problems associated with artificial. They lessen the
necessity of repeated application of synthetic fertilizers to keep soil fertility. They cautiously release
nutrients into the soil solution and maintain nutrient balance for the healthy growth of crop plants. They
also provide a practical energy source for soil microbes, improving soil structure and crop growth.
Organic fertilizers are generally thought to be slow-releasing fertilizers, and they restrain many
uncovered elements. They are safer options than chemical fertilizers. However, the of organic fertilizers
leads to over fertilization or nutrient deficiency in the soil. Hence, the controlled release of organic
fertilizers is an effective and advanced way to overcome these impacts and maintain sustainable
agricultural yield. (Hitha Shaji, ... Linu Mathew, in Controlled Release Fertilizers for Sustainable
Agriculture, 2021).

This is a study of unlocking the potential of producing Organic Fertilizers here in our city and to
introduce the product to the market focusing on local farmers or all over the country itself and it is not
only for the business opportunity for everyone to produce our own Organic Fertilizer but also for
environmental protection.
