Abstract
In the reclaimed land of Kasaoka bay, Okayama, livestock framings are applying more compost on their farmland than the standard application.
As a result, the nutrients in the compost are left behind in the soil and cause environmental problems such as water pollution.
In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to extract and sell the compost from the reclaimed land.
First, I analyzed the compost demand of arable framings in the reclaimed land and the land around it.
On the basis of the results, I clarified the desired additional services (such as low sale price, bag filling, transportation, and application) to promote compost sales.
Second, I evaluated the cost and labor input to offer those additional services and the sales strategy for compost.
