KUALA TERENGGANU, May 11 (Bernama) -- The Terengganu Farmers Oganisation's (PPNT) centre in Kampung Pelam in Hulu Terengganu district processes two to three metric tonnes of goat manure a day into organic fertiliser.
General Manager Sawalludin Ahmad told Bernama here the centre was set up two years ago at a cost of about RM10,000, and recently sold 32 tonnes of the fertiliser to 21 area farmers organisations in Kelantan through the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry.
PPNT uses the fertiliser for its 200 ha. oil palm plantation in Kampung Pelam and may also use it for its 33.5 ha. vitato farm to be set up in Ru Tapai in Setiu district.
Sawalludin said PPNT's 1,000 goats produce some 60 metric tonnes a month of manure, which is mixed with other ingredients to make organic fertiliser, adding PPNT may also source goat manure from Kelantan.
