This document describes a technology developed in 2022 in Niger that produces organic fertilizer from black soldier fly larval digestate. The process involves collecting biodegradable waste, feeding it to larvae, and composting the residue to enhance nutrient quality. Field results show improved tomato yield, fruit size, and shelf life compared to conventional fertilizers. Despite strong performance and adoption by local farmers, scaling is limited by production capacity.
