Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OTC: EZES) announced results from independent rice trials conducted by the University of Ghana-Legon, demonstrating that its Terreplenish® microbial solution increased rice yields by nearly 12% while reducing synthetic fertilizer usage by 50%. The trials, conducted at the Ashiaman Irrigation Scheme in Southern Ghana, also showed lower overall production costs compared to full synthetic fertilizer programs, according to preliminary economic analysis.
“The important takeaway is not eliminating fertilizer overnight,” said Nate Carpenter, Vice President of Sales in Europe and Africa. “It’s that the data suggests countries may be able to reduce synthetic fertilizer dependence, lower production costs for growers, improve farmer income, and still improve yields and crop performance.” The treatment groups using Terreplenish® demonstrated healthier crop development, improved grain filling, increased spikelet fertility, and reduced transplant shock.
The trials are part of the regulatory and field validation process required before Terreplenish® can be imported commercially or produced locally via EasyFEN™ systems in Ghana. This follows an official endorsement from the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) last month, marking a critical step toward unlocking a second African market.
Easy Environmental Solutions positions the EasyFEN™ platform as a modular infrastructure that converts local organic waste into biological fertilizer. A single EasyFEN™ system can produce more than 7,500 gallons of Terreplenish® per day, enough to support over 25,000 acres of farmland per week. “The ability to reduce fertilizer imports and produce fertilizer locally so basic crops can be grown is a true sign of independence,” said Mark Gaalswyk, CEO of Easy Environmental Solutions. “Countries should not have to rely on other nations to dictate pricing, availability, or access to something as essential as food production.”
The company believes that as geopolitical instability tightens global supply chains, fertilizer production will increasingly be viewed as strategic infrastructure. “The current agricultural system is becoming increasingly fragile,” Carpenter said. “Governments already spend enormous amounts supporting food production, but no country can subsidize instability forever. We believe local fertilizer production offers a more resilient path forward.”
Unlike many climate-focused technologies that depend heavily on subsidies or carbon credits, Easy Environmental Solutions says its economics are driven by local waste streams, fertilizer demand, and agricultural production. The company is advancing an active Letter of Intent related to deployment opportunities in Ghana as discussions continue around localized fertilizer production and agricultural resilience initiatives.
With active projects across Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Saudi Arabia, Uganda, France, and multiple countries in Asia, the company believes decentralized fertilizer infrastructure is moving from concept to strategic necessity. “No country wants to explain food shortages while sitting on the raw materials to prevent them,” said Bakry Osman, Director of Africa at Easy Environmental Solutions. “In a more unstable world, countries are rethinking what independence really means,” Gaalswyk added. “First it was energy. Then water. Agriculture is next.”
