SAUDI ARABIA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
PROJECT
for using an organic fertilizer, a hydrogel and the building of artificial oasis in North-
African countries and Arabic countries
INVESTMENT — INNOVATION — LASTINGNESS
I. Contents and aim of the project
The aim of the project is to improve major problems of the Northern African and Arabic
countries like erosion, desertification, loss of harvest, water pollutions, contamination
of the soil through excessive chemical application etc. and to have a positive
lasting influence as well as improve the food situation. Reforms of rural economy and
an improved agricultural production are necessary in order to combat poverty and to
avoid hunger and malnutrition. The principle has to be: Help to the self-help!
Big hope of the Africans for a sufficient food for the yearly about several million people
growing population had been directed in the sixties on the so-called "Green Revolution"
(application of highly productive species, mineral fertilizer, pesticides). Nevertheless,
the rash, exhaustive application has led to unhealthy remains situations in
the ground and ground water whose consequences are still to be felt today, many
years after an application ban of these means. These consequences are accompanied
by an increase of the deserts and a serious loss of agricultural usable areas
(approx. 20,000 ha per year)
The base of our in the following introduced project is the symbiosis of the application
of an organic, natural fertilizer, the minimisation of the water need to the irrigation of
agricultural cultures and the creation of artificial oases, as well as the application of
experts to the training on the spot.
SATORè organic fertilizer
We cooperate with a Byelorussian enterprise which has developed in many years'
collaboration with the academy of the sciences of Byelorussia an organic fertilizer
which was optimised for Arabian and North-African countries and whose deliberative
effectiveness could be academically proved in a long time study (3 years) in the middle
of the 90s in Egypt.
The examinations were carried out together by the Chiba institutes of Technology,
Narashino, Japan and the institutes for of problem of Natural Resources and Ecology,
Minsk, Belarus. The fertilizer is a purely natural, organic product. He is storable,
can be proposed with easy means and his effectiveness stops long in the ground.
The components of the fertilizer are based on raw materials only available in Byelorussia.
On grounds of these narrow location terms the fertilizer cannot be produced at
other places of the world.
The raw material proved in Byelorussia for this fertilizer amounts to more than 2 billions
MT (Metrical metric ton). Through this, decades of continuous care is guaranteed.
The fertilizer is suited to restore the deserts to its natural state and to oppose the desertification.
An application more than 2 years generates a well qualified humus layer
on pure desert ground.
Only by the application of organic fertilizers an ecological agriculture is possible!
Inorganic mineral fertilizers are agro chemistry in pure form. Indeed, they have a fast
effect; however, they rinse as quickly in the ground water and then load it. They are a
type of “pressure-fattening” of the plant. The plant must absorb the nutrients which
are freely released in the ground because of the concentration slope between ground
and plant cell (osmosis). Thin cell walls, higher susceptibility against pests and illnesses
and a higher water need are the negative results. Always the danger of the
over-fertilization exists. The effect of synthetic fertilizers stops always only briefly. It
must be post-fertilized constantly.
We do not know all that by the application of organic fertilizers. With organic fertilizers,
as e.g. SATOR® the nutrient must be released only by micro-organisms. Thereby
it comes only to a very slow increase of the nutrient concentration in the ground. The
effect lasts for years. An over-fertilization is excluded. For a healthy, continuous plant
growth with high pest resistance organic fertilizers are to be substituted with nothing.
GEOHUMUSè Hydrogel
In 2006 the innovation price was forwarded to the company GEOHUMUS, Frankfurt/
Main. Dr. Bentlage had developed with partners in 12-year-old research activity a
hydrogel which - in contrast to everything known up to know - could slowly deliver the
water.
This hydrogel takes up to 30-fold of his dead weight in water. Introduced in the
ground, the irrigation can be reduced around up to 50%, because the water is
seeped not into the ground and becomes inaccessible with it for the plants, but remains
in the root area of the plants and can be taken up bit by bit by the plant. Tests
in Dubai proved more than 50 % minimisations of the irrigation costs on a golf
course. The fertility of grounds is improved by the admixture of fine-pulverised lava
rock flour.
The application of GEOHUMUS has the following advantages:
- Steady care of the plants with water
- Lower water losses by decrease of the vaporisation
- Reduction of the traffic jam moisture
- Improved nutrient behaviour
- Reduction of the irrigation amounts and therefore costs
- Higher yields, quicker maturity, more robust plant scaffolding
- Improved airing of the grounds
- Possible cultivation of cultures on very permeable grounds also on hot and dry extreme
locations
- Less oversalted grounds by capillary water and vaporisation
„Senior experts service“
The application of German experts (agrarian engineers, marketing experts, ground
experts, etc.), which is free of charge for the affected countries, serves the education
of locals and guarantees at the end of the project that with own forces the works can
be continued.
II. Management of the project and participants
The project is escorted by:
KaSa International Trading GmbH, academically qualified engineer Peter Kappis,
graduate of Humboldt University, field food technology and food goods economy. He
is the commercial leader of the KaSa International Trading GmbH.
The company organises the complete project, purchase, transport and necessary
investments and coordinates all involved partners during the whole project phase.
The enterprise builds up the connections to the involved countries, maintains them
during the project phase and organises scientific accompany of the whole project.
In the project are involved:
Advanced technical college Eberswalde, Professor E. Kramer, department of scenery
use and nature conservancy, subject process management and technologies in the
ecological agriculture.
The department of Professor Kramer develops special technologies on the application
of machines, for proposing of fertilizer and hydrogel, plans technology application
and develops already existent technical devices.
Institute of agrarian- and city-ecological projects at the Humboldt university (IASP),
PhD engineer Koehler. The institute carries out investigations with the fertilizer for the
decontamination of contaminated grounds and analyzes the found grounds and waters.
The lab results are passed on to the academy of sciences of Byelorussia.
National academy of sciences Byelorussia, institute of physical resources and their
ecological application, Prof. N. Bambalov, Dr. G. Sokolov. The institute cooperates
with the advanced technical college Eberswalde and the IASP and provides acquired
knowledge of 20 years of research and teaching. Based on the results of the IASP
the recipes of SATOR are optimised on the found grounds and waters. Colleagues of
the institute train the technical colleagues of KaSa International Trading AG for expert
use of fertilizer. Until 2009 a new natural, organic fertilizer will be developed that
guarantees identical or better yields than the current SATORè with a quarter of outgoing
amount. By the rapid minimisation of the transport costs and the price the fertilizers
Africa can be offered in 40% cheaper than at the moment.
GEOSOIL Scientific — Manufacturing Company, Minsk (producer of the fertilizer). The
enterprise delivers the fertilizer CIF and carries out the necessary investments with
the help of the World Bank to be able to make available the desired amounts. In 2009
a totally new arrangement will be established in which then the new SATOR can be
produced.
GEOHUMUS, PhD Bentlage (producer of the hydrogel). The enterprise delivers CIF
GEOHUMUS. The establishment of a production plant in one of the North-African
countries for Geohumus is planned (Morocco or Libya). Through this Geohumus can
be offered to more favourable conditions after the conclusion of the project because
of lower carriage and personnel expenditure
Academically qualified engineer Völkl, coordinator and initiator of the "WWR". In 2008
a plant shall be established in which the WWR can be produced in a row. Then up to
20 robots can be manufactured annually. The first WWR will be build on the shipyard
Blohm & Voss. After the geologic investigations and location definitions in 2008 the
first robot takes up work in 2009. In 2009 farther 6 robots will be build which will establish
artificial oases in 2010/11.
Mission of the league of the Arabian states, Ambassador Salem of Quateen. The
MdLdAS organises in the African countries in collaboration with the respective governments
and ministries the application of the fertiliser/Geohumus/WWR. They attach
the connections with the necessary state departments and administration. They support
the construction of the artificial oases. They take influence on the unbureaucratic
support of all initiators in the involved countries.
Federation of the economic consuls, chairmen of the board M. Beetz. The federation
will organise the application of specialists and experts within the scope of its campaign:
„Senior experts service “ in North Africawith with the help of the German economics
ministry. These experts will train the locals on site in such a way that they will
be able to work independently after conclusion of the project and gradually provide
the won knowledge to others.
Federal Ministry of economy and developing support
The ministry checks the integration of the plan in own developing projects and looks
for possibilities to support it.
III. Capital requirements
To guarantee a lasting effect, the application of a certain amount of fertilizers and
Hydrogel is necessary, because the project refers to 4 countries. A desired amount of
minimum 100,000 MT SATORè per year should form the basis. GEOHUMUS should
be used in a scale of 15,000 t per year. With these amounts up to 15,000 ha of arider
surfaces could be involved into the project and the irrigation costs and irrigation
amounts could be halved.
During the project phase the construction of total 8 „artificial oases“ is planned. This
would mean that 800,000 m ² of agricultural usable area could be won absolutely
anew. The surfaces would be sufficient to supply approx. 215,000 people with clean
drinking water in addition to the cultivation.
At the end of the project a total of 7 robots will be available which could create another
about 70 oases subsequently — up to their consumption— (84,000,000 m ² anew
agricultural usable area, drinking water care from up to 2 Mil. people).
The costs for the project are subdivided in:
1. Necessary investments for the production of the fertilizer and "World Water
Robot", as well as to the establishment of a production plant to the production
of GEOHUMUS in North Africa.
2. Costs for the provision of suitable machines and devices for the use of SATOR
and GEOHUMUS in the countries of North Africa
3. Costs for the purchase and the delivery of SATOR and GEOHUMUS
4. Costs for the production of the "artificial oases“
5. Costs for services (ground analyses and water analyses, geologic investigations,
dosage and recipe changes, accompanying documentation, costs for
application of the "senior experts”
6. Project control costs
The total project costs amount to 815,470,000 €
Planning size 850 Mil €
