Vietnam-India cooperation in applying organic waste treatment technology

Overview of the MOU signing ceremony witnessed by Mr. Tran Thanh Tung - Counselor, Embassy of Vietnam in India.

The signing ceremony marks an important milestone in promoting the application of biotechnology in organic waste management to create high-quality organic fertilizers towards sustainable agricultural development in India.

Strategic cooperation towards green agriculture

According to the agreement, the two sides will coordinate to deploy advanced organic waste treatment technology developed by Bioway Vietnam, with the goal of converting organic waste into organic fertilizer in just 6 hours. This technology is considered a breakthrough solution in the management of agricultural, food industry and urban waste.

The project is being implemented through cooperation with Vedaviet Organics Private Limited. According to the plan, Bioway Vietnam will invest about 50 million rupees (equivalent to about 600,000 USD) to build a pilot demonstration model (Pilot Plant) right on the campus of Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University (PJTAU) in Rajendranagar.

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony between New Bioway Organic High Technology Development Joint Stock Company (Bioway Vietnam) and Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU).

The Memorandum of Understanding identifies specific objectives: Sharing and providing technological solutions to deploy, demonstrate and validate the effectiveness of Bioway technology; Establishing a demonstration unit for treating agricultural, urban and livestock waste into organic fertilizer; Scientific assessment and field testing conducted by PJTAU at research farms; Reducing environmental pollution, addressing waste accumulation and greenhouse gas emissions; Producing high-quality organic fertilizers, gradually replacing chemical fertilizers, towards circular agriculture, green and sustainable development; Developing agricultural extension programs to help farmers apply new technologies; Creating jobs and building a sustainable ecosystem for waste management.

“Bioway AT- 6 hour technology ” - Vietnam's breakthrough in India

Bioway Vietnam's technology stands out for its ability to convert organic waste into fertilizer in just 6 hours, thanks to a strain of heat-resistant bacteria that can live up to 180 degrees Celsius, increasing the decomposition rate many times faster than traditional methods, eliminating odors and harmful bacteria. The fertilizer produced is of high quality, ready for use in organic agriculture. A Bioway representative said: "We expect this technology to contribute to changing the way waste is managed in India, where agricultural potential is great but is facing many environmental challenges. It is also a pioneering step for Bioway Vietnam in its journey of internationalization, bringing innovation from Vietnamese enterprises to serve global green development."

As one of the premier agricultural universities in the state of Telangana, PJTAU will undertake the scientific application evaluation, field trials and implementation of training programmes on Bioway technology. The university has been granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the technology for research, teaching, demonstration and extension purposes.

Through its network of colleges and research centres, PJTAU will transfer knowledge and technology to the farming community, encourage the use of organic fertilizers, thereby gradually reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers - an issue of special concern to the Telangana state government.

The cooperation between Bioway Vietnam and Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU) is not only a technological connection but also demonstrates the vision of green and sustainable agricultural development between Vietnam and India.

In Telangana state, dependence on chemical fertilizers is burdening the budget and degrading agricultural land. Bioway Vietnam’s bio-processing technology enables the conversion of organic waste into organic fertilizer in 6 hours – opening up a breakthrough technological solution to improve soil fertility and reduce environmental pollution.

In addition to environmental benefits, the project also creates jobs and sustainable livelihoods for rural areas through a network of organic fertilizer collection and production. Once the model is stable, the two parties plan to expand the technology application to the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
