Project in Algeria turns byproducts into compost

A study has examined how oil mills in central Algeria can make use of olive oil production byproducts by transforming them into compost, thus minimizing pollution and even generating additional sources of income for the olive oil industry. According to the website of the Delegation of the European Union to Algeria, the study was undertaken as part of the Economic Diversification Support Program, known as DIVECO, financed by the European Union to improve economic performance in the agricultural and food production sectors in Algeria.
