Africa-Press – Eritrea. Since early 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) is undertaking vigorous efforts to promote organic farming by strengthening experts and various agricultural firms to get involved in the production of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides. Tsegana – Milk and Milk Products Processing Plant is based in Geshnashm Village – 30 kms North west of Asmara – in the Sub-zone of Serejeka. It is one of the agricultural sites which is dedicated to organic farming and mass production of compost. The Public Relations Division of the MoA has conducted an interview with Mr. Mussie Gaim, the General Manager of the Plant with regards to the general development of the company in general, and compost production endeavors in particular.
When was the plant established?
Could you briefly tell us about the progress of the plant?
Generally, we began our activity with livestock fattening in 2012; and we added milk processing activities at small scale in 2013-14. Side by side, we started producing compost to increase productivity of forage and vegetables in our farm. In 2019, we started installing infrastructure of milk processing plant; and in 2021 we fully kicked off producing certified milk and milk products
Let’s come back to our today’s main focus which is compost production? When did you start this business?
Currently, your plant is a pioneer in producing compost in a bulk. How did that happen?
What did you do, then, to fine tune the quality of your compost to make it popular?
Have you started supplying compost to the local market?
How do you sell your product?
Did you get feedback of your compost yet?
What do you intend to do in the future?

Thanks Mr. Mussie
