Remer offers “Growth,” a bio-fertilizer made from effective microorganisms developed to enhance soil quality and promote plant growth. This sustainable solution helps farmers improve soil fertility and water retention while reducing the need for pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Due to climate and economic challenges, farmers in Lebanon are facing high material costs, declining productivity and limiting their access to international exports. Additionally, climate change has led to the emergence of pests, increasing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, which in turn deteriorates soil quality. As a result, the productivity of most agricultural crops has declined, raising the risk of food insecurity.
"Growth" is a bio-fertilizer developed by Remer, made from beneficial microorganisms to enhance soil quality and stimulate plant growth. This sustainable solution supports smallholder farmers by improving soil fertility and water retention through natural means, while reducing reliance on pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Since 2022, "Growth" has covered 0.36% of Lebanon’s farmland, with 45,900 liters sold to 478 customers. Reducing fertilizer needs by 70%, it lowers costs and increases yield up to 30% in terms of quantity and quality. During the sprint, the venture aims to test their innovative product with Lebanese smallholder farmers of crops in open land to further refine their business and operational model for this customer segment.
