Message from the CEO

Let’s grow together

Dear farmers, partners, and stakeholders,

Welcome to Organic Liquid Fertilizer Producing P.L.C. — home of Eco Green Liquid Organic Fertilizer, a patented organic liquid fertilizer made in Ethiopia. It is both an honor and a responsibility to lead this company in its mission to transform farming, restore soil health, and empower communities.

Our journey began with a simple realization: chemical fertilizers were depleting our soil, raising farming costs, and threatening long-term food security. We knew there had to be a better way. After six years of intensive research, field trials, and innovation, we developed Eco Green — a solution that boosts crop yields while protecting the land farmers depend on.

Agriculture is the backbone of our nation. Healthy soil creates healthy food, and healthy food builds strong nations. That is why we are committed to cost-effective eco-friendly solutions, ethical business that benefits people and planet, empowering women and youth — with 55% of our workforce women — and giving back through fertilizer donations, support for schoolchildren, and thousands of trees planted with Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative.

Our impact is not measured only in liters produced, but in the farmers we empower, the land we restore, and the future we are shaping. Together we are building an agriculture sector that is resilient, productive, and self-sustaining.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Let’s grow together — one farm, one harvest, one future at a time.

With gratitude and commitment,

Kebede Lakew

Founder & CEO

Journey

From a hard question in 2007 to a factory you can partner with

  1. 2007

    The question

    Research begins on a durable alternative to chemical fertilizers — soil health and food security, not just a season’s green.

  2. Then

    From research to product

    Laboratory work and field trials lead to Eco Green — organic liquid nutrition built for Ethiopian conditions, with a patented formula and preparation method.

  3. Today

    Scale with integrity

    A 90,000 m² campus in Tulefa (68 km from Addis), operations in the capital, ERP and CRM live — ready for dealers, exporters, and partners who want substance behind the brand.
