BioSolution, a Rwandan SME founded in 2015 in Bugesera district, focuses on converting organic waste into fertilizers.

Despite its innovative approach, the company struggles with inconsistent raw material supply, inefficiencies in manual waste sorting, and high operational costs, limiting its growth. To address these challenges, the Rwanda Circularity Innovation and Development (RCID) has launched a technical assistance (TA) program from July to December 2024. This program aims to strengthen BioSolution’s capacity to produce high-quality organic fertilizers by providing comprehensive training and integrating circularity principles into its business model.

The RCID’s support is centered on enhancing BioSolution’s expertise in waste management, segregation, recycling, and composting techniques, particularly for the company’s seven key staff members.

Additionally, the program will guide the SME in incorporating rabbit urine to enrich compost quality, adopting circular practices in rabbit rearing, and applying best practices in animal husbandry. Further training will focus on optimizing crop production through regenerative agriculture practices and climate-smart agribusiness techniques, especially for cabbage and maize.

This TA initiative is designed to help BioSolution address its current challenges by improving product consistency and operational efficiency, leading to better marketability, circular food system integration, and sustainable growth. Through this partnership, RCID aims to support BioSolution’s mission to enhance agricultural sustainability and contribute to economic growth in local communities.
