Many farmers in the Analamanga region are convinced to use organic fertilizers without chemical additives. Mr. Randriamijoro Jacques Lucien has been farming for 10 years, and has developed his knowledge of compost fertilizer production...

Two reasons motivated him to produce compost. There are few oxen available, so the manure they get isn't enough to boost their crops. He also takes advantage of the situation in the countryside.

Compost is a fertilizer obtained from the natural environment of the countryside; a mixture of leaves, dry waste and manure. Mr. Randriamijoro Jacques Lucien produces compost from 15 to 30 carts, depending on the needs of his land. Composting has its advantages.
