Under the great historical background, organic fertilizers with livestock and poultry manure, kitchen waste, etc. as raw materials and straw and garden waste as auxiliary materials have emerged and shouldered the responsibility of protecting hundreds of millions of acres of grain fields. The country’s vigorous promotion and the hot market have made the call for organic fertilizers higher and higher, and the prospects are broader. Many people are very confident in the prospects of organic fertilizers and want to invest in organic fertilizer production line, but they don’t know much about the production costs:
01 Raw material costs
The main materials of organic fertilizers are usually livestock and poultry manure, kitchen waste, etc., and the auxiliary materials are straw, garden waste, mushroom residue, etc. Since the main and auxiliary materials are “garbage” in our usual sense, the price is very cheap, and the cost is almost negligible.
Although the cost of raw materials is very low, before deciding to go into production, it is necessary to first determine whether the supply of raw materials is stable, so as not to affect production due to shortage of raw materials.
02 Fermentation bacteria cost
The high-quality fermentation bacteria cost about 60 yuan per kilogram. We usually buy the original bacteria, which need to be expanded with brown sugar water and cornmeal. 1 kilogram of bacteria can be expanded to 10 kilograms.
03 Electricity cost
For small organic fertilizer production lines, the power is generally around 70 kilowatts. According to the energy consumption ratio of 80%, it consumes 60 degrees of electricity per hour and can produce 3 tons of organic fertilizer per hour. The cost of electricity is 20 yuan/ton.
04 Packaging cost
Since organic fertilizer is sold to the outside, it needs to be packaged, and the packaging cost is about 50 yuan/ton.
05 Labor cost
The factory generally needs to be equipped with 1 forklift operator, 1 fermentation agent blender, 2 packers, 1 mechanic, and 1 electrician. According to the salary of 200 yuan per person per day, the labor cost of 1 day is 1,200 yuan, which is 50 yuan/ton for organic fertilizer.
06 Plant cost
Organic fertilizer does not require high plant requirements, only basic civil engineering is needed, and the cost is about 300,000 (conservative estimate, different in different places), but the service life can reach 20 years or even longer, and the cost per ton of organic fertilizer is very low.
07 Equipment cost
Depending on the shape of the finished product, the equipment can be divided into powdered organic fertilizer production line and granular organic fertilizer production line.
