Since secondary school, we learned that fertilizers are not good in supporting or sustaining good soil structures. I have even seen the effect of these chemical fertilizers in my locality as a child. A farm that used to grow thick shrubs now become a grassland. In addition to this, we are so dependent on this fertilizers imported into Nigeria.

Organic fertilizers on the other hand seem to be on the rise in recent times. Its advantages include supporting soil structure, non-toxic, can be sourced within the country, etc. My question is do we have any commercial organic fertilizers in Nigeria? Any commercial farmer that is currently using organic fertilizers in his/her farm?

Guy, I hope you know organic manure is different from manure. Nigerians need food first, and don't care if the food is GMO or organic(as most western countries do). Producing and using organic fertilizers may take time in Nigeria as we die to get anything foreign. If given any opportunity we may even export the ingredients for the organic fertilizer then import the finished product.

Nigerians hating 'made in Nigerian goods' since 1960

There a lot of organic Fertilizer here in Nigeria.
