I have about 500 kg (1,000+ lbs) of an insect-derived organic fertilizer ready to bring to market in a tropical country. It has a fine, sandy texture.

We just received the lab analysis:

- pH: 7.31

- C/N: 15.89

- N: 3.21%

- P₂O₅: 0.27%

- K₂O: 0.21%

- CaO: 0.01%

- MgO: 0.09%

- Boron: 0.37 ppm

- Sulfur: 0.01%

- Copper: 1.71 ppm

- Iron: 28.65 ppm

- Manganese: 18.90 ppm

- Zinc: 16.59 ppm

- Organic carbon: 51.11%

- Ash: 8.00%

- Organic matter: 92.00%

We're trying to figure out how to commercialize it and which crops/applications would make the most sense based on this composition.

Would you market this as a fertilizer, organic nitrogen source, soil amendment, or something else? What crops would you test first in a tropical climate?

If you had 500 kg ready to go to market, where would you start?

I was wondering if boiling human feces at 100 degrees for 30 minutes can be used as fertilizer
