German State Launches Market for Liquid Manure
Advertisements [?]
<snip>

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German state said Tuesday it had set up the world's first centralized database to buy and sell liquid manure.

"As far I know, this is the first manure market of its kind," Thomas Griese, deputy minister of the environment in North Rhine-Westphalia, told Reuters. "We are now waiting for our first customers."

Germany produces some 150 million cubic meters of liquid manure each year, mostly from pigs, according to the federal agricultural research agency.

But some farmers have more manure than they can dispose of while others are short and need to buy mineral fertilizers to spread on the land.
