Peat is made up of corpses of different plants. Plant material is accumulated, buried and affected by submerged conditions for many years. With anaerobic decomposition, the plant corpses are converted into peat.
In peat, inorganic content is 18-24%, the rest is organic substances. According to the survey data of scientists, the world reserves about 300 billion tons of peat, accounting for 1.5% of the surface of the earth. Peat is used in many different industries. In agriculture peat is used to make fertilizers and increase organic matter for the soil.
Vinh Phuc Industrial Promotion and Industrial Development Consultant Center in collaboration with Hoa Hung Limited Liability Company, Hoang Dan Commune (Tam Duong) successfully built the production line of micro-organic fertilizer from peat, cheap price. High quality, helps increase crop productivity and create safe agricultural products.

The successful production of this fertilizer has opened up a new development direction for bio-organic fertilizer processing industry for agriculture, while reducing the burden on fertilizer prices which are currently rising for farmers. .
Mr. Do Van Hung, Director of Hoa Hung Limited Company, said that along with the support from the national industrial promotion program, the company boldly invested VND 2 billion to build a fertilizer factory. First birth of the province.
This type of fertilizer is produced from peat combining microbial activating powder, then fermented on new technology to create useful organisms. When applied to the soil, these microorganisms grow and penetrate into the roots, synthesizing the effects on the plants, and transforming the concentration of indigestible phosphorus available in the soil into the pepper root supplying to the plants.
Besides, this fertilizer also works, restricts pests and diseases, improves soil, makes soil loose, helps plants maximize absorption of nutrients, fight environmental pollution, create agricultural products safe industry.
Especially, fertilizer is much cheaper than other fertilizers sold in the market. Through practical application on a number of crops such as rice, corn, vegetables and beans, the yield increased 10-15% compared to other fertilizers, creating safe agricultural products.
Although it is currently in the test phase, thanks to the quality and low price of fertilizer, the production is consumed. It is expected that in the coming time, the factory will bring the operating capacity to 500-1,000 tons / year, directly create jobs for 28 local workers, with an average salary of 2.5 million VND / person / month.
Vinh Phuc has large reserves of high quality peat in the untapped districts of Tam Duong and Lap Thach. With this abundant raw material source, it will meet the demand of producing long-term organic fertilizer with cheap price to serve agricultural production in the province.
From successful trials, the company is expanding production to meet the demand of widespread consumption in and outside the province.
