Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)
Turning Waste into Wealth for Sustainable Agriculture
At Shri Balaji Sugars & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., sustainability goes beyond clean energy — it extends to the soil. Our Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) is a nutrient-rich byproduct derived from spent wash generated during ethanol production. Instead of allowing this waste to go unused, we convert it into eco-friendly organic fertilizer, ideal for agricultural applications.
This initiative reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility and rural empowerment by providing farmers with a natural, chemical-free alternative to synthetic fertilizers.
What is FOM?
FOM is created by treating and stabilizing the nutrient-rich liquid waste (spent wash) from the distillery through biological fermentation and composting. The resulting product is a high-quality, soil-enriching manure.
