Preventing Agricultural Waste Pollution
Banana pseudostem is one of the most abundant agricultural wastes in banana-growing regions. When left to decompose, it releases methane and creates breeding grounds for pests. By converting this waste into products, we eliminate these environmental hazards.
Supporting Sustainable Agriculture
Our biofertilizers and mushroom substrates contribute to sustainable farming practices, reducing dependency on chemical inputs and creating more resilient agricultural systems.
Economic Impact
Chankorb creates economic value from waste, demonstrating that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.
Waste-to-Value Transformation
Agricultural waste that once had zero or negative value (disposal costs) now generates economic returns.
Local Economic Development
Revenue stays within rural communities, supporting local businesses and creating multiplier effects.
Export Potential
Lab-tested, certified products can access global sustainable markets, bringing international revenue.
Scalable Business Model
