Farmers Produce Homemade Fertilizer Amid Rising Costs

Farmers who cultivate on a small scale have begun producing their own fertilizer. They use a traditional Asian recipe for this process. This development occurs during a period when fertilizer prices have increased.

A market in Zambia sells these homemade fertilizers. They cost approximately $2.50 per bag. These bags are displayed alongside organic vegetables.
