Established in May 2014, Matribhumi operates a factory in Chitwan (Province 3) and sells over ten tons of organic fertilizers monthly. During peak planting seasons, production exceeds 80 tons with temporary staff hires. The company supplies fertilizers (mainly for vegetable production) and partners with 62 agricultural cooperatives, primarily in the Terai region. In addition to fertilizers, Matribhumi offers soil supplements – Bhumi Care and Bhumi Gold – both officially registered with the Ministry of Agriculture’s Food Security, Environment, and Soil Management Division. Matribhumi’s operations span all provinces, with its Chitwan factory serving as the production hub. It has ten full-time employees and regularly hires temporary staff based on demand.

Promotion of Organic Fertiliser as an Alternative to Rising Chemical Fertiliser Price and Its Unavailability 

Matribhumi operates a unique business model that avoids selling to large-scale government tenders, agrovets, and private actors. Instead, it focuses on direct sales to agricultural cooperatives, strengthening its connection with smallholder farmers. In addition to organic fertilizers, the company produces soil conditioners and micronutrients to enhance soil fertility. Matribhumi also actively educates farmers on the effective use of organic fertilizers and supplements through training programs. As part of a 12-month project, CASA will provide both technical assistance and grants, contributing £27,364 to support Matribhumi’s initiatives. The project aims to train 6,000 farmers, equipping them with knowledge and resources to improve soil health and agricultural productivity.
