High-Quality Compost Production In Patumbak - Indonesia

Organic fertiliser derived from processed livestock waste has become an essential resource for local farmers in response to the inconsistent availability of subsidised inorganic fertilisers. On October 30, 2025, Purnomo, a staff member at PT Nousindo Nusatara Agri’s compost processing plant, showcased the Indonesian Oil Palm Research Institute (PPKS) Laboratory Analysis Certification in Patumbak, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. This certification confirms that the local compost fertiliser meets quality standards necessary for soil nutrient requirements and supports small-scale fertiliser industries in participating in the national food program. PT Nousindo's conversion of cow dung into high-quality compost offers a vital independent solution for agricultural sustainability. Photo by Aditya Sutanta/ABACAPRESS.COM

Yeshe Samdrup was born in 1936. When he recalls his childhood memories, he remembers the experience as he collected the dry dung fuel for the serf owner and got only a little bit of food as payment. It was almost impossible to have meat as food at that time. "As the serf owner throw some bones, we have to fight with dogs for the marrow inside the bones," according to Yeshe, "we work as men at daytime and guard the house as dogs at nighttime." In March 1959, people in Xizang launched the democratic reform that ended the region's feudal serfdom. This changed Yeshe's life from living like a "talking animal" to being a real human. Thanks to the democratic reform, a total of two hectares of land, together with the house, cattle and sheep, were assigned to Yeshe's family. Today, there are 30 members of four generations in Yeshe
