 Introduction

O
ne of the pillars of Vision 2020 in Rwanda is the protection and the
management of the environment. The objective of the Government
is to built a nation where the pressure on natural resources, particularly
on land, water, biomass and biodiversity has significantly been reduced
and the process of environmental pollution and degradation has been
reversed; a nation where the management and the protection of these
resources and of the environment are more rational and well regulated
in order to preserve and leave to future generations the basic wealth
necessary for sustainable development.

The agricultural sector, the backbone of Rwanda’s economy, currently contributes to 34% of GDP.
By 2020, it is targeted that agriculture contributes to 25% of GDP. Therefore, agriculture shall
continue to contribute significantly to the economy.

T
he major environmental problem in Rwanda
is the imbalance between the population and
natural resources which have been degrading
over decades. Rwanda is often characterized as
having very high rural population densities, lush
vegetation due to high rainfall, and steeply sloping
highlands. Erosion and land degradation have
long been assumed to be a severe and a major
reason for the poverty and the food insecurity in
the country.
Rwanda has a density of 447 people/km2, with
90 % of its workforce engaged in agriculture.
Intensive cultivation in combination with reduced
inputs impoverishes soil quality. Although the
issue is well known since longtime ago, farmers
do not have an adequate range of inputs and
technologies to deal with this problem. But in
a country where more than 80% of population
depends on agricultural production and
demographic pressure is still rising, soil fertility
solutions become more urgent than ever before.

 Our Mission
“CBID” is in charge to produce and to improve the Organic Fertilizer resulting from the controlled biological decomposition of organic material. The organic
fertilizer will be sanitized by generating heat and, after that, it will be stabilized. This product will have the unique ability to improve the chemical, physical, and
biological characteristics of soils, to supply the growing media for a good environmental sustainable development.

• More local production for less Importation • New permanent jobs

• Reduction of the environmental impact of landfills • Low price for high quality
• Enhance soil nutrients for plant Growth • Increasing production in a sustainable way
• Access to organic international markets. • Reduction of government subsidies cost
• Environment protection and sustainable • A suitable solution of transformation and

Our Vision
“CBID”’s vision is a world in which resources are used sustainably. Our mission is to accelerate the move to a sustainable resource-efficient economy through.
Through our actions, we will increase the recycling of organic materials, and further, the use of clean compost as a way to: complete the Organics Recycling Loop,
reduce organics in landfills, reduce GHG emissions, reduce the use of petro-based chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides) in agriculture and landscaping,
reduce water consumption, and create “green” jobs in Rwanda.

• High levels of recycling places. • Improved operating cost efficiency

• More recyclate reprocessed in Rwanda. • Improved crop cycle time efficiency

 Composting is a biological process in which microorganisms convert were applied to composting, speeding the process with selected materials,

organic materials such as manure, sludge, leaves, paper, and food wastes mechanical devices, and specific methods of constructing composting

into a soil-like material called compost. Composting merely controls the piles. “Capacity Building for Innovative Development” manage technical

conditions so that materials decompose faster. The composting process aspects of the project in terms of industrial production of compost and

weed seeds. With good management, it produces a minimum of odors. For the setting-up of a composting facility. These parameters include the cover,

more than twenty years of research and development, scientific principles aeration, moisture, temperature, porosity, structure, texture, and particle size.

Composting Compost/Year Jobs Creation Platforms

CBID’s Enclosed Aerated Static
Pile (EASP©) composting
system is designed to speed
the composting process and
produce a final stable compost
in 28 days. Our technics and
knowleadges of management for
different parameters, influence the
composting process.
Designing of a successful
composting platform requires
an examination of many factors.
Each process of the workflow
must be optimized regarding the
production’s time, yield and high
quality control. The continuity of
the Supply Chain must be secure
from the beginning to the end.
More than 1800 jobs will
be created in national scale
throughout:
- Raw materials collection process
- The transportation process.
- Compost processing.
- Management.
- Studies & Innovation.
To achieve the production of
180,000 tons of compost per year,
30 platforms will be distributed
nationally in each strategic
agricultural zone. This distribution
will allow a better allocation of the
exploitation of raw materials, and
a production adaptation for the
local lands and productions.

Our Action Plan (3 years)
After launching of the “Alpha” platform, “Capacity Building for Innovative Development” will establish a new operational platform each month during 3 years. At
last, 30 of composting industrial platforms will be operational in national level, each one with 6,000 tons/year of production, for a total of 180,000 tons. Each
platform will be built with specifications and nomenclature of the “Alpha” platform.

The effective cost of installing a platform is 10 million Rwf, including essential equipment for composting process, like crusher, sieve, cover and ventilation
system controlled automatically. Over 3 years, a large recruitment, training and management work should be carried out to meet the human resource needs of the
project. After this first step, other platforms will be able to be created, some with larger scale of production, based on the availability of raw materials.
