Producing organic fertilizer

producing soil ammendment

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative helping women entrepreneurs who are coconut-based. Our barrios are coconut-producing and the situation of women entrepreneurs are not very good because of a host of factors such as the covid-19 pandemic, climate change and poor soil fertility. This reporting period we focused our support in the production of organic soil ammendment coming from coconut husk by shredding them using powerful shredders. The shredded husk are good materials in producing organic fertilizer and soil ammendment since they retain moisture and make the soil soft and friable which is best for plants. The shredded coconut husk dust is used by the farmers themselves and the surplus they sell to gardeners in the neighborhood. We aim to scale this up in order to fully utilize coconut husk which is not fully utilized in our area. Again thank you very much for your support.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora Sayre
