Production of organic fertilizers derived from the biological activity of red earthworms (California red worm and Dendrobaena veneta).

Founder and author of the startup project: Ildar Maratovich Bogapov, Associate Professor and lecturer at the Sadvakasov Agrotechnical Institute.

Total grant funding: 2,100,000 tenge.

Project implementation began in 2020, when the technology for producing biohumus from organic waste was selected and tested. The final product successfully passed laboratory testing for compliance with the standards of the Republic of Kazakhstan (nitrogen content exceeds the standard by 2.5 times, reaching 2.03%).

Areas of application: cultivation of vegetable crops in greenhouses, seedlings, and indoor plants (the average increase in cucumber and tomato yields in greenhouse conditions when using biohumus as fertilizer is 30–40%).

From 2021 to 2025, the project was at the commercialization stage, during which small-scale production of loose and granular fertilizers was established.

Form of business: Individual Entrepreneur (IE).

As of early 2026, the startup project has completed its operations.
