Converting Fish Waste into Organic Fertilizer

Project Overview

Fish waste contains valuable nutrients for agricultural soil, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. To recycle fish waste, a project study was conducted on how to produce fertilizer from fish remains. Fish shops and locations were surveyed to measure the daily waste, including heads and entrails, amounting to approximately 37 kg per day. The total daily fish waste in Seiyun and nearby areas was estimated to be 37 × 60 = 2,225 kg, or about 2 tons per day.

The project aims to:

1. Ensure a clean environment and protect human health by properly disposing of fish waste.
2. Create job opportunities for young people and train specialized workers in fish waste disposal, thus easing the burden on cleaning efforts.
3. Produce organic fertilizer, offering affordable alternatives to boost agricultural production.
4. Replace harmful chemical fertilizers with natural, non-toxic organic fertilizer.
