A local approach for more sustainability

Our organic amendments and fertilizers are produced with raw materials of animal origin(manure, droppings..) and vegetable oriigin (vegetable waste, pruning wood …)produced and consumed locally in order to promote the circular economy and limitthe carbon footprint .

Sites adaptable to changing demand

Elephant Vert,having an awareness of the necessary progression of organic agriculture, is able to increase its production on all its sites to meet the local and international demand.

A quality requirement from raw materials to the finished product

Our sites , our production process and our raw materials are subject to regular controls and checks to ensure that they comply with the best production standards.

Solutions to develop sustainable agriculture

All our products are developed to be suitable for organic farming and can also be integrated into conventional farming .

Production of organic fertilizers and soil improvers

Locations

The Elephant Vert group has 3 main sources of production in biosolutions The biotech site of Meknes in Morocco delivers biocontrol products and biostimulants. The Kambiti site in Kenya industrializes the HELITEC product. The French subsidiary bio3g is specialized in liquid biostimulants.

Manufacturing principles

The manufacture of our organic amendments and biofertilizers goes through a natural biological process allowing both, the destruction of pathogens and weed seeds, as well as the stabilization of organic matter. These good composting practices guarantee the availability of products to farmers that are stable over time in terms of organoleptic properties and agronomic value.

The right formulation

Our products at the end of the process, and according to the need of the farmers, are mixed with stimulants, fertilizing bacteria or materials of adjustment of the elements N-P-K major fertilizers to provide a multitude of choices depending on the need of the crop being grown.

Standardized products

In addition to the controlled manufacturing process, our factories, such as the one in Meknes for example, areCertified Organic (for exporters to Europe) and NOP (for exporters to the USA).. This reinforces the positioning of our products in the market.

The production of biosolutions

Locations

The Éléphant Vert group has 3 main sources of production of biosolutions. The MEKNEs site in Morocco delivers products of biocontrol and biostimulants. The Kambiti site in Kenya works on the design of traps and lures (viruses). The subsidiary French company BIO3G is specialized in liquid biostimulants.

The manufacturing process

Generally speaking, the production process goes through several stages.. First, the strains are stored in the R&D laboratories, which guarantee the preservation and maintenance of the stock bank. Then, they are multiplied in liquid fermenters from 200 to 2000 liters, in controlled abiotic parameters.

A new phase begins which consists in obtaining spores resistant to environmental conditions (UV, temperature, drought...). This requires the use of solid substrates of agricultural origin (cereals) which must be sterilized beforehand. The development of the spores follows a conventional fermentation process. The spores are harvested by a solid/solid extraction system in order not to degrade their properties.

Main equipment

Eléphant Vert has the double expertise of fermentation in liquid medium and fermentation in solid medium. Consequently, the main equipment consists of fermenters of different sizes: small 200 l and large 2000 l.. Other equipment completes this manufacturing process, for example in Meknes: a100% automatic CIP station, a300 liter make-up tank (PH or Feed), a completeloading skid, water production and treatment units, and finally boilers and compressors.

Quality control of organic amendments and fertilizers

Our philosophy

We guarantee the quality of our products to meet the needs of farmers and provide them with organic alternatives that respect the environment. During the entire production process, we ensure a strict quality control process along the entire value chain, from the control of raw materials to the finished product. We work in accordance with normative specifications, to guarantee hygienic products of better agronomic quality.

The facility installation

Created in 2016,our analysis and quality control laboratory is a physicochemical analysis laboratory inthe agronomic and environmental field, with a qualified technical team.. It makes it possible to support farmers in a reasoned fertilization process.

Accrédited bySEMAC (Moroccan Accreditation Body) for the realization of services in in the field of physico-chemical analyses on soils, waters and organic amendments, it is also recognized by ONNSA to carry out physico-chemical hydric analyses (Water of the food-processing industry and of breeding .
