Equality & Empowerment

When rural women are empowered and have access to resources they need, we are one step closer to ending hunger and poverty. We empower rural, very low-income women by offering them excellent quality organic fertilizer at cheaper cost and practical training opportunities in agricultural sustainability and women’s right justice. This creates a new world where everyone has the same chance to live and prosper. Working in rural farming communities in Pobè, Benin Republic, where women and indigenous small-scale farmers live under $2 a day due to farmlands degradation and climate change impacts, we are in continuous innovation to offer an organic fertilizer that addresses the root causes of decline in yields. This shift not only boosts their economic independence but also enhances food security for over 100,000 residents. Our commitment to equality in agriculture ensures that every individual has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from our collective progress in Benin Republic and West Africa.

Environment & Climate

The hazards of climate change have caused soil erosion due to the presence of intermittent and torrential rains, and rising temperatures, which strips the land of the nutrients that make it fertile in Benin Republic, and West Africa. In research of solutions, farmers rely on chemical fertilizers, which worsen the situation and lead to soil degradation, with over 57% of decline in crop yields over the past 10 years, while the expenses incurred for production are close to income. Although the hazards of climate change are a global problem, the case of Pobè in Benin Republic is critical and needs urgent attention. Pobè with over 130,000 residents, is a town that produces an enormous amount of waste, with 0.4kg per individual per day, or 70+ tons per day for the whole Pobè, 80% as agricultural waste. To get rid of it, people are forced to burn it or dump it in nature, the main source of the emission of over 50 tons of CO2 every day, which exacerbates the hazards of climate change. BIO PLANET TMC Ltd is committed to cleaning up the environment, recycling biodegradable waste which is then transformed into high-quality granulated organic fertilizer, 100% eco-friendly for farmlands restoration, and increase in soil carbon sequestration capacity, meeting environmental and climate sustainability standards.

It remains the primary source of income for 80% of the 12 million inhabitants of Benin Republic (FAO), and has been affected by farmlands degradation in recent years. Over 2 million hectares of land in Benin Republic are classified as degraded (UNDP-Benin). The town of Pobè is among the critical cases with over 40,000 hectares of degraded farmlands.
