Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OTC: EZES) announced results from independent rice trials in Ghana demonstrating that its Terreplenish® microbial fertilizer can increase yields by 12% while reducing synthetic fertilizer usage by 50%. The trials, conducted by the Department of Crop Science at the University of Ghana-Legon, showed a 1 metric ton yield increase per hectare, translating to an additional $1,000 in revenue per hectare. Preliminary economic analysis also indicated lower overall production costs compared to full synthetic fertilizer programs.
The trials were part of the regulatory and field validation process required for commercial import or local production of Terreplenish® via EasyFEN™ systems in Ghana. This marks a critical step toward unlocking a second African market for EES, following an official endorsement from the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service last month. The trials, conducted under irrigated conditions at the Ashiaman Irrigation Scheme in Southern Ghana, also demonstrated healthier crop development, improved grain filling, increased spikelet fertility, enhanced nutrient efficiency, stronger crop vigor, and reduced transplant shock.
Researchers concluded that Terreplenish showed substantial agronomic potential for sustainable rice production while helping reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizer inputs. In one treatment group, a split Terreplenish application program increased yields by 7.7% over the full synthetic fertilizer control while still reducing synthetic fertilizer inputs by 50%. “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.”
For Easy Environmental Solutions, the results reinforce a larger global reality: countries are becoming increasingly dependent on imported fertilizer systems they do not control. “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.” Gaalswyk added, “Countries spent decades securing energy independence. The next global race may be fertilizer independence.”
The EasyFEN™ platform is a modular infrastructure that converts local organic waste into biological fertilizer for domestic agricultural use. A single system can produce more than 7,500 gallons of Terreplenish per day, enough to support over 25,000 acres of farmland per week depending on crop application rates. The company believes that decentralized fertilizer infrastructure is moving from concept to strategic necessity, especially as geopolitical instability impacts global supply chains. “In a more unstable world, countries are rethinking what independence really means,” Gaalswyk said. “First it was energy. Then water. Agriculture is next.”
The company also confirmed it is advancing an active Letter of Intent related to deployment opportunities in Ghana, with discussions ongoing around localized fertilizer production and agricultural resilience initiatives. With projects advancing across Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Saudi Arabia, Uganda, France, and multiple countries in Asia, Easy Environmental Solutions positions the EasyFEN as the future of agricultural independence.
