We4f-giz organic fertilizer - insufficient or difficulty in accessing fertilizer in 2022 has led to at least a 20% reduction in local food production. African countries are dependent on fertilizer imports and the rising fertilizer costs are already having severe implications on food availability and prices. Organic fertilizer offers an alternative to imported, synthetic fertilizers. It is typically produced locally from plant or animal residues, creating income opportunities for farmers and producers. With fertilizer prices soaring, local, organic alternatives represent both a solution and an opportunity for transforming and greening the agricultural sector in east and west africa. Consequently, the german government reserved funds to support enhanced local fertilizer production and use in the target countries. This program was funded by the deutsche gesellschaft fr internationale zusammenarbeit (giz). The program supported smes in cote d'ivoire, ghana, burkina faso, kenya, tanzania, and uganda to scale the production of organic fertilizers, raise awareness and training amongst smallholder farmers, and provide relevant support services, such as soil testing through a results-based financing mechanism.
