Easy Environmental Solutions Inc. has received a deposit from an African client for its EasyFEN Modular Microbe Fertilizer System, marking a significant advancement in addressing continental hunger challenges. The $1.7 million system represents the first of two ordered units that will generate approximately $19 million in annual recurring revenue when operating at full capacity, providing both economic and agricultural benefits.
The EasyFEN system functions as a decentralized, fully automatic fertilizer plant that converts local community waste into Terreplenish organic microbial fertilizer. According to company reports, each unit can process two tons of biomass per hour, producing up to 2.7 million gallons of fertilizer annually from recycled food and crop waste. This innovative approach targets unproductive soil while eliminating greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional fertilizer production, addressing both food security and environmental concerns simultaneously.
CEO Mark Gaalswyk emphasized the system's transformative potential, noting that the technology replaces expensive chemical imports and rebuilds soil through a scalable model for self-sufficiency. Each EasyFEN unit can produce enough organic fertilizer to treat over 1 million acres of farmland, potentially feeding more than 16 million people. The system utilizes locally derived green biomass mixed with proprietary microbial inoculant to grow fertilizer directly in remote villages, reducing costs by two-thirds compared to chemical alternatives and requiring 20% less rainfall or irrigation.
With two-thirds of Africa classified as arid or semi-arid and desertification worsening due to climate change, the timing of this technology is particularly significant. Current statistics indicate one in five Africans faces hunger, with projections showing 582 million people could be undernourished by 2030, over half residing in Africa. The Terreplenish technology works by introducing beneficial microbes that break down organic matter, release essential nutrients, and improve soil structure and water retention, addressing fundamental agricultural challenges.
The first unit is expected to ship to Northern Africa within 90 days, with initial trials in Congo and Somalia already demonstrating results that exceeded expectations. The company has engaged with African agricultural officials, including meetings with Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, to discuss expansion opportunities across multiple countries. This technology represents a strategic approach to restoring agricultural dignity and fueling self-reliance through scalable, long-term solutions designed to disrupt current food insecurity patterns across the continent.
