Agriculture has always been an important industry and the main condition for production. It provides food, industrial raw materials, capital and exports to other sectors of the national economy. It is well known that agriculture has huge market potential, especially in the production of organic fertilizers. When it comes to organic fertilizer production, organic fertilizer has a direct relationship with it. With the development of agriculture, the benefits of organic fertilizers are becoming more and more obvious. From this perspective, it is profitable and feasible for entrepreneurs/investors to start an organic fertilizer business!
Organic fertilizer is rich in organic matter. It not only provides inorganic and organic nutrients, but also improves the physical and chemical properties of the soil. In addition, it has rich raw material resources, including crop straw, livestock manure, leftovers or urban sludge. With the improvement of living standards and the increase in demand for green food, most farmers are willing to apply organic fertilizers to improve crop quality in order to improve the market competitiveness of agricultural products, so the output of organic fertilizers should also increase to meet market demand.
From the perspective of investors, there are many factors to consider when starting an organic fertilizer production line, such as planning and design, production technology, market analysis, etc. It is also necessary to register a company, find a good site for organic fertilizers, pay attention to packaging, and formulate a marketing strategy.
In addition, it is best to seek government support or obtain support from sponsors. It is very important to choose a good site. Since unpleasant odors may be generated, these factors should be fully considered before starting an organic fertilizer production line.
Now let us provide a specific suggestion to help you start an organic fertilizer production project and then start a business to get the maximum benefits in the shortest time.
Organic fertilizer raw material survey
The main goal of an organic fertilizer plant is to produce organic fertilizer, which uses various organic and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium substances required for plant growth. Before starting an organic fertilizer plant, you need to investigate the local organic raw material market.
Investigate the information required for plant construction, such as the types of raw materials, procurement and transportation methods, and transportation costs.
To achieve continuous production of organic fertilizer, the most critical thing is to ensure an uninterrupted supply of organic raw materials! Due to the characteristics of large raw material volume and difficult transportation,
Organic fertilizer plants are best built in places where there is an adequate supply of organic raw materials, such as near large pig farms, chicken farms, etc.
In the process of organic fertilizer production, there are many common organic raw materials. Manufacturers usually choose the most abundant organic raw materials as the main raw materials of organic fertilizer, and then use other organic raw materials or appropriate amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as additives. For example, organic fertilizer plants built near farms will produce a large amount of agricultural waste every year. Manufacturers will choose crop straw as the main raw material and use livestock and poultry manure, peat, zeolite, etc. as auxiliary materials.
In short, organic raw materials contain organic matter and nutrients necessary for promoting crop growth, and can be used as raw materials in the production process of organic fertilizer. The production process can be designed according to different raw materials.
Selection of organic fertilizer plants
The selection of organic fertilizer plant sites is closely related to future production costs and production management, and the following factors are mainly considered.
1. The organic fertilizer plant cannot be too far away from the farm. The characteristics of chicken manure, duck manure, pig manure and other feces are large volume, high water content and inconvenient transportation. If it is too far away from the farm, the transportation cost of raw materials will increase.
2. The site cannot be too close to the farm. From the perspective of the farm, it should not be located in the upwind direction, otherwise infectious diseases will occur and even cause difficulties in epidemic prevention.
3. It should be far away from residential areas or work areas. During the production of organic fertilizer, some odorous gases will be produced. Therefore, it is best to stay away from them to avoid affecting people's lives.
4. The site should be selected in a place with flat terrain, hard geology, low groundwater level, good ventilation, and should avoid places prone to landslides, flooding or collapse.
5. The site should be adapted to local conditions and save land. Make full use of idle land or wasteland and do not occupy farmland. Try to make use of the original idle space to reduce investment. 6. The site of the organic fertilizer plant is preferably rectangular, with an area of about 10,000-20,000 m2. 7. The site should not be too far from the power line to reduce the power consumption and investment of the power supply system. The site should be close to the water source to meet the needs of production, life, and fire fighting water.
Precautions for the design of organic fertilizer plants
Appropriate production scale and reasonable site selection
For new investors, a small organic fertilizer production line is a better choice. The production capacity of this production line is small, about 700 kilograms per hour.
The production process of organic fertilizer is relatively long. Using livestock manure as organic fertilizer raw material usually requires 7 days of fermentation time. The investment in site and machinery is huge. If the production scale is too large, the raw material acquisition radius will increase, and the raw material transportation cost is also high. Therefore, if the production scale of an organic fertilizer factory is above 1,000 tons of pure organic fertilizer, it should consider building a factory in an area rich in organic raw materials.
Pay attention to the degree of process automation
The labor conditions of the organic fertilizer production line are poor, and the workers have a heavy workload. The degree of process automation should be improved in production, but the labor cost must be reduced. Modern science and technology have made it possible to automate the organic fertilizer production process, but the machinery cost, operation cost, and maintenance cost have also increased. Therefore, appropriate process automation should be selected based on economic benefits, and production automation should not be pursued unilaterally.
