Recently, in the first livestock and poultry manure organic fertilizer production base in Uruguay that we built, we can see that in the tall factory building, workers are installing equipment in a tense and orderly manner, and the auxiliary projects in the factory area have also entered the finishing stage. At present, all equipment installation and commissioning will be completed by the end of this month, and will be put into trial production in March 2025.
The project is a key project for harmless treatment of livestock and poultry manure, with a total investment of US$520,000. The project uses advanced modern processes, technologies and equipment to process livestock and poultry manure and straw into organic fertilizer, which is an important part of modern circular agriculture.
The organic fertilizer production line project has an annual designed production capacity of 20,000 tons. The main raw materials are straw and livestock and poultry manure by-products. After reaching full production, it can digest and utilize 10,000 tons of crop straw and 30,000 tons of livestock and poultry manure annually, and produce 20,000 tons of powdered organic fertilizer, granular bio-organic fertilizer, and organic-inorganic mixed fertilizer annually.
The prohibition of burning crop straw and the harmless treatment of livestock and poultry manure have always been a problem that has plagued Uruguay. The completion and commissioning of this organic fertilizer production project can basically digest the surface pollution sources such as crop straw, large-scale livestock and poultry manure that should be treated in the local and surrounding areas, which can not only better protect arable land and surface and groundwater resources, but also reduce the use of chemical inorganic fertilizers and improve the output and quality of agricultural products.
