<\/figure>\n\n\n\n“Biostim” organic fertilizers, developed by Nicolae, are adapted for: fruitful tree and shrubs, vine, vegetables and beans, cereals, oleaginous and technical crops, non-flowering decorative shrubs and lawn and decorative grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, some farmers are still resistant, and it is difficult to convince them that organic fertilizers are a long-term solution, that they are efficient and necessary to restore the soil\u2019s quality. \u201cUnfortunately, some farmers are sceptical towards new products, especially towards those made in the Republic of Moldova. Many of them prefer chemical fertilizers as they give an immediate effect, but in the long run the organic fertilizers are beneficial for the soil,\u201d noted Nicolae Alcaz. \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the entrepreneur has more and more loyal customers, who have tested and been convinced of the positive effect of organic fertilizers. His products are now used by farmers in the south of the country, but also in the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, Nicolae Alcaz sells his merchandise only on the local market, working directly with farmers and distributors. The entrepreneur plans to start soon exports to the EU. “For five years we were undergoing tests in many laboratories and scientific centres of Romania and at the end of 2021, we obtained the export permit. Now we are identifying distributors and in autumn we plan to make the first export attempt. Our intention is to reach the Romanian market segment and them we are looking towards the Bulgarian one,” pointed out Nicolae Alcaz.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
