Here is the step by step video of our baling process, a process that any farmer can bring on with few local materials and usual manpower!

Step 1- Prepare the ropes in the right position in our wooden box ;
Step 2- Filling the wooden box with our hay and step on it to press it well;
Step 3- Tightening the ropes edges as we are "packing" the bale;
Step 4- Pull out of the box our well tighten bale and store it!

With this method, our bales of brachiaria grass can be stored for 3 years and more, ready to be used when we will need to feed our cows!

Water hyacinth an invasive weed that traces its origin from the Amazon basin continues to wreak havoc on lake Victoria. Biofit Agritec Enterprises hopes to turn this situation around by using as much water hyacinth as possible to make animal feeds as they work towards restoring the lakes landscape. So how does it work?

The theme for the forum is “Leveraging Technology to Prevent Post Harvest Loss”.

Sufficient Food Supply is imperative for an economy to thrive especially in these times of uncertainty. Research has shown that global food production has reached a record high in recent years; however, one third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, this is equivalent to 1.3 billion tons.

Some of these losses occur on the farm, during harvest, gathering, and others occur while commodities are in transit, during offloading (due to poor handling), and in varying degrees in the entire value chain and this has led to food insecurity for millions of families in Nigeria and across the World.

In some developing countries, small holder farmers regularly lose 40 percent of their harvest due to inadequate storage facilities or equipment.

Achieving zero loss in Agriculture is unfeasible; however, we can reduce this loss to a large extent by continually creating awareness and building waste management capacities.
