Applying Bio-wa yeast to produce organic fertilizer from agricultural by-products to households in remote areas in Dak Lak province

On the morning of October 31, 2025, the Center for Information - Application of Science and Technology (Dak Lak Department of Science and Technology) coordinated with the Ea Phe Youth Union to organize a workshop "Evaluating the results of the Bio-wa fermentation model to produce organic fertilizer from agricultural by-products for ethnic households in remote areas of Ea Phe commune, Dak Lak province in 2025".

Delegates attending the workshop

Attending the workshop were officers and engineers of the Center for Information - Application of Science and Technology, the Economic Department, the Farmers' Association, the Youth Union of Ea Phe commune and people who participated in training and guidance on the technical production of organic fertilizer from agricultural by-products available locally.

Currently, people in Ea Drong commune, Buon Ho ward, Ea Phe commune in particular and the whole Dak Lak province in general, live mainly on agriculture , with some main crops such as coffee, pepper, durian, passion fruit and some food crops such as rice, corn, etc. After harvesting and processing, a large amount of agricultural by-products such as coffee husks, corn husks, straw, rice husks, rice husks, etc. are discharged into the environment but are not treated, causing pollution of the soil environment, water environment and the environment around the residential community.

Mr. Y Lem Nie, Head of Research and Application Department, Center for Information and Application of Science and Technology reported at the Workshop

At the Workshop, engineers from the Center for Information - Application of Science and Technology (Center) reported the results of building a model applying Bio-wa fermentation yeast to produce organic fertilizer from agricultural by-products to ethnic households in remote areas of Ea Phe commune, Dak Lak province in 2025. Farming households participating in the model reported on the presentation of the family's progress in implementing the model, assessed the difficulties and advantages when implementing the model, exchanged practical experiences when implementing the model, and at the same time, the fermentation process was repeated in clear, specific, and easy-to-implement steps so that people can apply and replicate the model.

Officers and engineers of the Center guide delegates on organic composting techniques.

In 2025, the Center will build 06 models of transferring microbial organic fertilizer to 18 farming households (120 tons of finished products) in 03 communes and wards in Dak Lak province, specifically: Buon Ho Ward, Dak Lak province (03 models, scale of 60 tons). Ea Drong Commune, Dak Lak province (02 models, scale of 40 tons); Ea Phe Commune, Dak Lak province (01 model, scale of 20 tons). The application of technical advances in processing agricultural by-products into biological organic fertilizers is a meaningful work, not only utilizing agricultural by-products and local livestock waste into useful products for agriculture but also solving environmental problems in rural areas.
