The ministry said Vietnam has great potential in organic fertiliser production since annually around 60-70 million tonnes of agricultural by-products and 20 million of seafood by-products are produced. Vietnamese organic fertiliser companies are preparing for increased demand after imports of the material doubled to 60-70 million metric tonnes during 2017 . The Binh Dien II Fertilizer Joint Stock Company has invested VND200bn ( US$8.77 million ) in its Long An plant, and aims to produce 40,000-50,000 tonnes of nano organic fertiliser from 2019 , while Con Co Vang Group has dedicated 11 hectare for an organic fertiliser facility. Long An 's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development believe 60-70 million metric tonnes (mt) of agricultural by-product and 11 mt of seafood by-product can be used for organic fertiliser to improve soil fertility, while also reducing pollution.
