Visit Agro-Eco Services Maggot-Compost production
Agro-Eco Services runs Maggot-Compost production in the commune of Tori-Bossito (Atlantique department), south of Cotonou. Visitors and partners can learn how black soldier fly larvae process organic waste in about 12 days and how biochar completes the blend. Arrange a visit or purchase inquiry through the cooperative website; this pin is approximate for the commune centre.
How it works
Contact Agro-Eco Services ahead of time. Ask about factory tours, bulk compost orders for market gardens, or partnership for waste streams. The site is an operating cooperative, not a drop-in tourist attraction.

Why it matters
Standing next to the larvae beds makes the waste-to-fertility loop tangible. It is easier to replicate a system you have seen than one you have only read about.
