Agricultural college, Naira,
Srikakulam-532185

2. INTRODUCTION
Vermicompost is product of the decomposition process using various species of
worms, usually red wrigglers , white worms and other earthworms to create a
mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding material and vermicast.
Vermicomposting is a type of composting in which certain species of earthworms
are used to enhance the process of organic waste conversion and produce a better
end product.
Bio-fortified vermicompost is an organic manure which constitutes of bio agents like
Trichoderma, phosphobacter, Azospirillum etc to enhance the plant health and
nutrient uptake

3. MARKET POTENTIAL
Rising demand from farming for is majorly driving the over all growth of this market.
During these present days the trend is shifting towards organic agriculture,organic
products,fruits and vegetables as people are well consious about their health.
High demand from the home gardening(as a potting mixture &planting material) and
horticultural sector (nurseries ,commercial fruit production farms) is anticipated to
boost growth of this market in near future.
Favorable government subsidy policies are envisioned to enhance the growth of
organic fertilizers or organic manures in the market.

4. BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Working days per month = 25
Labour wages are as per the rates prevailing in the area
Interest on capital investment @ 14% per annum
Procurement of raw material 1 ton FYM @ Rs.900/-
1 kg of earthworms @ Rs 16000/-

NAME OF THE ENTERPRISE Vermiana enterprises
NAME OF THE PROMOTER &
BACKGROUND
Ch.Eshwar Sai Prasad ; Age : 22
B.Sc (Hons) agriculture graduate
NAME OF THE PRODUCT Bio-fortified vermicompost, & vermiwash
LOCATION OF THE UNIT Srikakulam district ;
(near A.P and Odisha state border)
LOCATIONAL ADVANTAGES  Farmers in odisha state gets subsidy for buying
vermicompost.
 ZBNF farmers
 Well established nearby nurseries
PRODUCTION CAPACITY 1 Tonn /pit/month (total 8 pits )
PROJECT COST Rs.147340/-

6. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
 Pits are filled with coconut shells as a bedding material in such a way that convex shape facing outwards
to provide optimum aeration.
 In next step second layer of trash or kitchen or farm waste is spraeded over the bedding material.
 FYM of 25 cm thickness was spreaded as tird layer,then a thick layer of dung slurry was sprinkled on
FYM layer.
 Release earthworms @1000/sq.mt and allow it to decompose and also add microbial consortium to
hastenup the decoposing process.
 waste and cowdung slurry should be continued till the heap of material is one foot above the ground
level. The entire bed should be sprinkled with water daily to keep the heaps moist. The heaps are
covered with gunny bags to keep them completely dark. The temperature should be maintained at less
than 28 deg. C
 In one month time, the entire waste would been digested by the earthworms and converted into dark
brown compost rich in organic nutritive matter. After drying, this material is sieved and bio agents will
be added and sold out

S.No Project cost value
I) Total fixed capital investment 91495
II) Total working capital investment 55240
III) Total pre-operational expenditure 3605
Total project cost ( I+II+III) = Rs.42548/-

14. A) Cost of production ( 1 month )
Total working capital
investment
55240
Interest on total investment 1754
Depriciation on machinery 595
Total cost production / month 57589
B) Sales revenue per month
Total cost of production / year = 57589*12 = Rs.691068
Vermi compost yield per month = 8t = 8000 kg *11 = Rs.88000
Per year = 88000 * 12 = Rs.1056000/-
PROFITABILITY = A
B -
= 1056000 - 691068
= Rs.364932/-

15. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
A) Net profit = total returns – total costs
= 1056000 – 691068
= Rs.364932/-
B) Benefit cost ratio = total returns/total costs
= 1056000/691068
= 1.52
C) Net profit ratio = Net profit * 100 / turnover per year
= 364932 * 100 / 1056000
= 34.5%

16. D) Rate of returns = Net profit * 100 /total cost
= 364932 * 100 / 654648
= 55.7 %
E) Break-even point = (Fixed cost * 100 ) / (Fixed cost+ net profit )
= (91495 * 100 ) / (91495 + 364932 )
= 20.04
