KENYA · GUIDE 0079 · EDITION 4.2
Manure collection and bagging in Kenya
Collect and bag manure for a buyer-defined growing use.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional raw cattle-manure supply: forty bags of twenty net kilograms each, eight hundred kilograms, from one identified farm to an agreed lawful receiving site. Label clearly “raw cattle manure—unprocessed”; no composted, sanitized, pathogen-free, organic-certified or guaranteed NPK claim. The example receives nine hundred kg and holds/removes one hundred kg of unsuitable material; foreign matter removal does not make raw manure safe for every crop/use.
