ABOMEY-CALAVI, Benin, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Amid challenges of fighting food insecurity, organic fertilizers can be an economical solution to increase agricultural production, said Arnaud Bonou, who sells his version under the Magi-Ko brand to farmers in his native Abomey-Calavi, in southern Benin, and beyond.
