PHNOM PENH, Aug 8 (Bernama) -- A Cambodian firm, Cintri, who is incharge with a mammoth task of collecting the capital's garbage, will now recycle Phnom Penh's mountains trash into organic fertilizer, Cintri's Deputy Director Seng Chamroeun said Friday.
"People will need to start sorting their garbage into specific categories before this plan can start," China's Xinhua news agency quoted him as saying to a local daily.
Cintri will soon begin combing the refuse piles at Stung Meanchey landfill site for appropriate organic waste, he added.
"We want to make a large quantity of compost to supply farmers. In addition, we can reduce garbage pile ups," Seng Chamroeun said, stressing that cooperation from authorities and citizens is essential to ensure the strategy is a success.
Fertilizer prices peaked this year at three times their cost in 2007, with about half of Cambodia's estimated two million farmers adversely affected by the price rise, according to the Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture.

It would be a great ideas. Don't forget to encourage the poor people who living by collect those garbage to produce it.
yes, this is healthier and most definitely better than using chemical fertilizer. go organic is always a better choice, especially in a health-conscious society which cambodia could become one. plus, don't remember that all over the world now, there is a huge demand for organic products and cambodia can surely contribute to that market in the USA, the EU, etc... go organic, cambodia! god bless cambodia.
