On August 11, the first stone was laid in the Rozhyshche district of Volyn for the construction of a plant for the production of granulated organic fertilizers based on chicken manure. This will be the first such production facility in the post-Soviet territory, reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation. \n \n \n \nThe production of granulated organic fertilizers is based on German technology, the patent for the use of which was purchased by one of the Slovak firms, which, in fact, acts as the investor of the new production facility. The essence of the technology consists in mixing chicken manure and peat in certain proportions, with the addition of microelements necessary for growing a specific type of crop to this mass. \n \n \nThe construction of the new plant is being managed by Star Land LLC. According to its director Serhiy Doroshenko, the total cost of the investment project is about 6 million hryvnias. The plant will create about fifty new jobs. The production will be environmentally clean; it will process the by-product of the Rozhyshche poultry farm. \n \n \nThe capacity of the enterprise is up to 200 tons of organic fertilizers per day. Initially, the products will mainly go for export, since demand for granulated organic fertilizers in Europe is constantly growing. The people of Rozhyshche plan the gradual development of the markets of CIS countries, for which such products are a novelty. \n \n \n \nAlready in September, modern equipment will be brought from Slovakia to the construction site of the plant. By the end of the current year, they plan to obtain the first products. \n
