Tuguegarao City is the regional government center and the education, commerce, trade and
business center in the region. Corollary to the city’s development is the gargantuan
challenge on waste management- one of the major problem areas in urban environment as it
posts risk to human health.

The Tuguegarao City Agriculture Office has a record of 2,391 corn farmers and 903 rice
farmers in the agricultural areas of 2,919 hectares of corn land and 865.9 hectares of rice
land, respectively. These farmers have an average crop yield of 5,000 kg/ha for rice and
6,300 kg/ha for corn during the dry season. On the other hand, farmers produce an average
crop yield of 4,472 kg/ha for rice and 6,300 kg/ha for corn during wet season. With the
estimated every cropping harvest, our farmers will produce about 36,779.4 tons of corn
biomass and 8201.8 tons of rice biomass every year.

Farmers have the malpractice of resorting to burning as their convenient way of disposing
their agricultural biomass because there is no available technology provided for the
processing of these kind of wastes.

Also, there are more than Twenty-Five (25) coconut vendors like coconut dealers, buko juice
vendors, retailers and others. These coconut sellers produce an average of 150 sacks at 40
kilograms per sack of coconut shells per day.

Furthermore, there are more Two Hundred (200) panciterias consuming an average of about
One Hundred Thousand eggs a day producing also more than One Hundred Thousand egg
shells a day. There are also bakeries, fast food chains and restaurants using eggs as
ingredients thus producing egg shell wastes.

There are also supermarkets in SM, Robinsons Complex and public markets in Tuguegarao
City producing fruits and vegetable wastes.

2. Objective/Purpose

The project aims to provide a product development area for conversion of biodegradable
wastes into useful materials such as organic fertilizer.

The project is in consonance with the city’s goal of optimum utilization of solid wastes by
not only converting wastes into beneficial uses but more importantly transforming the
minds of our people by instilling discipline and making them responsible wastes generators.

2.4. List of establishments engaged in food business;
2.5. List of other sources of raw materials

3. Project Execution

3.1. The project aims to establish a high production of biodegradable

wastes processing facility which will ultimately convert these wastes
into organic fertilizer with enhanced micro nutrients using rice hulls,
corn cobs, rice and corn stalks, coconut husks/shells, egg shells, food
wastes and all other biodegradable wastes as raw materials.

3.2. Under the buy-back scheme, the Tuguegarao City Government shall

3.3. On the other hand, private establishments engaged in food business

or other businesses that produce agricultural and biodegradable
wastes shall be required to pay certain amount as wastes collection
fees.
4. Project Operation:

4.1. Collection of raw materials(biodegradable wastes) from sources to the

Multi-purpose Material Recovery Facility (MRF) at the Agricultural
Training Center and Demonstration Farm, Gosi Norte, Tuguegarao

 The organic fertilizer produced shall be utilized as soil enhancer for balanced
soil fertilization, soil nourishment for seedling production and garden soil for
organic backyard gardening.

The products may be distributed to the farmers as assistance to encourage

them to practice balanced soil fertilization and the others shall be marketed as
income generation.

5. Steps in Managing Biodegradable Waste:

1. Spray of organic effective solutions to bio-wastes in the composting

facility to deodorize, disinfect, eliminate flies infestation, prevent possible
disease outbreak that would result from stock piling and to accelerate
composting;

2. Shred and/or cut bio-wastes with the use of Shredding Machine to reduce
size for easier handling and to increase volume that can be processed per
batch;

3. Load shredded bio-wastes in the Bio-Reactor Machine for Two(2) to

three(3) days processing together with saw dust or rice hull coagulant,
inoculant, water and micro/macro -nutrient enhancer;

4. After 2-3 days, windrow harvested processed bio-wastes(compost) for 2-3

days to remove excess moisture content;

5. Remove compost impurities with the use of compost segregator or

manual sieve;
6. Load to conveyor or metal silo; and

7. Packing/sacking of composts for distribution to farmers, barangay folks,

cooperatives, schools and for sale at commercial price.

7. Project Sustainability.

The Tuguegarao City Government, with its implementing offices, will undertake the
sustainability of the project, its upgrading and possible expansion to the barangays upon
establishment of its viability. Some funding requirements for this project shall be allocated
by the City while other funds may be sourced from the proceeds of products developed by
the project.

7.1. On the availability of raw materials. 1. Farmers plant their rice and corn
crops twice a year thus producing the expected agricultural biomass
as raw materials for the continuous operation of the project; and 2.
Daily generation and collection of biodegradable wastes from
business establishments and other sources.

7.2. On the production process. The Multi-purpose Heavy Duty Shredder

and High Capacity Convector Bioreactor Biodegradable Waste
Composting Machine will definitely hasten the high production of
organic fertilizer as by-products of the processed agricultural and
biodegradable biomass.

7.3. On the quality of the by-product. The organic fertilizer produced shall be
subjected to assay test to determine the level of sufficiency of the
products’ micro and macro nutrient contents.
 7.4. On the operation through private participation. The city may enter into
joint-venture, concession and/or agreement with farmers’ association
or cooperative for the operation and maintenance of the project.

7.5. On the marketability of the by-products. Part of the produce may be given
to farmers as assistance of local subsidy to encourage the practice of
balanced soil fertilization. Others will be marketed as commercial
organic fertilizer to agricultural/farm suppliers.

8. Project Monitoring

The Tuguegarao City Agriculture Office, City Planning and Development Coordinating
Office, Technology Livelihood Development Office (TLDO) and City Environment and
Natural Resources Office shall be jointly in-charge in the implementation of the project.

The Performance Challenge Fund Project Implementation Team (PCFPIT) shall monitor the
progress and oversee the implementation of the PCF-funded project.

The Tuguegarao City Government shall submit a Monthly Progress Accomplishment Report
using the Statement of Work Accomplished (SWA) not later than the 5 th day of the ensuing
month.

The City Accounting Office shall submit a Statement of Receipts and Disbursement (SORD)
upon issuance by the contractor of the requisite progress billing.

Upon final operation of the project, the City shall submit the LGU Project Completion
Report supported by photos, Certificate of Completion, Certificate of Turnover &
Acceptance and a Final Report of Disbursements duly received and verified by the Local
COA.

9. Socio-economic and environmental Impact:

As earlier discussed, Tuguegarao City Government aims to optimize the utilization of solid
wastes by not only converting wastes into beneficial uses but more importantly
transforming the minds of our people by instilling discipline and making them responsible
wastes generators.

With the project, (1) it will be a diversion method of bringing biodegradable wastes to the
MRF for processing into organic fertilizer; (2) minimize the maintenance and operation costs
of the City’ Sanitary Landfill; (3) provide livelihood or generate income to farmers and other
stake holders; (4) increase and improve soil fertility; (5) arrest or stop the malpractice of
illegal burning of wastes; and (6) more importantly address some concerns on air pollution
and climate change.
