A fertilizer production company based in the central Iranian province of Markazi intends to transfer technical knowhow for producing the substance to Indonesia, a faculty member of province’s agricultural research body said on Saturday.
An MoU, which is worth $20 million and extendable if necessary in the future, has been signed with Indonesia to this end, said Hamidreza Dorri, a faculty member of the Agricultural and Resources Research and Education Center of Markazi Province, IRNA reported.

“Based on the agreement, the Iranian company is to transfer the technology to produce uremic fertilizer to Indonesia,” Dorri said.

“Indonesian farmlands have lost their fecundity in recent years due to excessive use of urea fertilizer,” he said.

He underlined that environmentally-friendly uremic fertilizer helps cut the use of urea in agro crops by 60 percent. / Iran daily /
