Mr. Ranaivoarison Basile and Papa Bio have done a lot of research on vermicompost production. His processing of this fertiliser in 2022 surprised outside researchers. A research centre in France sent researchers to meet Papa Bio in person last year. They discussed with him the elements in the feeds that are given to the worms that produce the compost.

Students from the University of Antananarivo's Higher School of Agricultural Training are also interested in the research conducted by "Lanja Miakatra" and Papa Bio. They visited Papa Bio's vermicompost production site in Soavinadriana. Mr. Ranaivoarison Basile told them that the production of food using only natural elements ensures the health of consumers. For Papa Bio, the liquid vermicompost and the use of cassava-based insecticides are enough to control pests. The success of this is reflected in his field, says Papa Bio.
