How Much Does A 3T/H Organic Fertilizer Factory Cost in Malawi?
On June 5, 2024, Yushunxin received an inquiry from a customer in Malawi. The customer expressed a desire to establish a 3t/h organic fertilizer plant in Chipoka. Besides, he faced budget constraints and sought a simple organic fertilizer pellet production line capable of processing local agricultural residues. Then, he hoped us provide an efficient yet affordable solution to overcome challenges inadequate electricity supply and limited transport infrastructure. Additionally, he aimed to sale organic fertilizer pellets for local farmers.
What Is The Demand for Malawi Customer to Establish A Small-scale Organic Fertilizer Plant?
The requirements of the Chipoka client were quite specific. Primarily, he planned to set up a organic fertilizer factory of around 500 ㎡. And the monthly rental cost is approximately $3,000 at an industrial rate of $6 per square meter. However, his budget for this granular organic fertilizer manufacturing project was set at $20,000. Thus, he decided to pursue open-air natural composting of animal manure instead of investing in fermentation equipment. Also, the customer specified their desired production capacity, machine types, and technical specifications.
The following equipment was requested:
| Equipment | Specifications | Quantity |
| Organic Fertilizer Crusher | 10hp Electric, 380V, 4000Kgs/hr | 1 |
| Screw Conveyor | 5hp Electric, 380v, 3mm Screw, 280cm Long | 1 |
| Fertilizer Mixer | 24hp, 380v Electric, 5000Kgs/hr | 1 |
| Belt Conveyor | Electric 5hp, 380v, 500mm wide, 280cm Long, Rubber Material | 1 |
| Disc Granulator | Electric 10hp, 380v, 3500Kgs/hr | 1 |
| Automatic Bagging Machine | Able to seal and stitch (sew) packages Packaging sizes: 5Kg, 10Kg, 25Kg, 50Kg |

What Equipment Are Necessary for 3T/H Organic Fertilizer Factory Project within $20,000?
According to Malawian customer’s needs, we proposed a 3 t/h organic fertilizer disc granulation production line, with the quotation of $16,413 USD (about 28 million MWK).
SXJG-1000 Straw Crusher
Firstly, the customer requires a machine to crush agricultural residues like straw with a capacity of 4000 kg/hr. Therefore, we recommend the SXJG-1000 straw crusher, priced at $2,600. And it have the capacity of 2.5-4 t/h, a power of 45+11kw, and includes a stainless steel sieve for uniform fineness.
SXWJ-9015 Horizontal Mixer
Secondly, client requires an organic fertilizer mixer with a capacity of 5000 kg/h for raw material blending. Therefore, we recommend the SXWJ-9015 horizontal mixer, which costs $1,890 and has a power of 11 kw. Its 3-5 t/h output makes it an ideal choice for meeting this 3t/h organic fertilizer plant’s production needs.
SXYZ-3000 Pan Granulator
Thirdly, the client requires a 3.5t/h disc pelletizer. Therefore, we recommend the SXYZ-3000 model. Also, this model offers a 2-4t/h capacity with an 11 kW power and the price of $3,600.
Customizable Conveyors
Our company customizes a screw conveyor with the length of 2.8m based on client specifications, using alloy materials. This conveyor utilizes durable alloy materials to ensure longevity. Additionally, we offer a belt conveyor made of rubber with the length of 2.8m and 0.5m width. Totally, this combination pricing for these custom conveying solutions starts at $3,723.
Semi-Automatic Bagging Machine
Finally, we suggest buying a semi-automatic single-bucket packaging machine with packing, sealing, and labeling functions, ensuring efficiency. It has the price of $4,600 USD. Certainly, we remind customer that in order to pack finished organic fertilizer granules fertilizers weighing 5kg, 10kg, 25kg, and 50kg, they need 1-2 workers to bag them in batches.
How to Solve The Power Problem of A 3T/H Disc Granulation Production Line in Malawi?
The client expressed concerns about unreliable electricity supply in Malawi for organic fertilizer equipment operation, such as frequent outages and insufficient power coverage. In fact, we evaluated the customer’s total power of our 3t/h organic fertilizer pellet production line. At least 60-70kW would be necessary for reliable equipment operation. In response, our company can equip a 100kW biomass generator, which offers a cost-effective alternative to diesel. Because the high diesel cost is 1,470 MWK/L (0.85 USD/L). Unlike diesel generators, the biomass generator utilize locally available agricultural waste as fuel. Consequently, you can significantly reduce electricity cost with the generator, with peak power costs around 146 MWK/h (0.084 USD/h) and off-peak costs at 50 MWK/h (0.029 USD/h). So this solution ensures uninterrupted oeganic fertilizer granular production, even during power outages.
How to Transport 3 T/H Organic Fertilizer Disc Granulation Line to Malawi?
After receiving the inquiry, Yushunxin conducted multiple discussions with the customer to refine the plan. The customer could not visit the factory, so he paid the full amount on June 25. Subsequently, our team shipped the 3 t/h organic fertilizer disc granulation line on July 10. Since Malawi is a landlocked country, and sea-land transport is less convenient and the logistics poses challenges. Therefore, we agreed with this client on FOB sea freight, and are responsible for customs clearance and other procedures. We applied warehouse to warehouse transportation, and customer needed to go to the port for inspection.
