GILL often the powebooster behind those forward looking initiatives,Marco,St Ange and others,guys you are doing a. great job.Thr team work is good examples of how we should get along to get things move.This initiative is genial,it is a good example of sustainable developmrnt.As stated above,of how seaweeds ,an abandone natural resource could be a intillengrntly use and genrate wealth instead of discarding tons of this raw material we have for free,and exploit without much effort in to licrative products.
From fertilizer ,cosmrtic products,why not as we progress ,even convert it into highly demand generic medications,another lucrative products no that expensive to produce.Great initiative guyd.Bravo!
Farmers by using seaweeds as fertizer would reduce,their cost on animal manure,or combined animal manure with seaweed for certain plants.....in other words....you can have only seaweed fertilizer for crrtain crops,mixed fertilizer for other crops,why not make even mixed with fifferent doses according to types on plantd,vegetables,and also forchouseholds use,r.g garden,indoor plants.DRIED ,or recidues left,as proccessed to make cosmetic products,or dried seaweed can be used as animal meals.Good for farmers ,it helps reduce their production cost.The potrntial of seaweeds is immrense.
MrRoullion solution ,is perfect,the right tool to make collectong and cleaning fast,and less costly,.go for it guys,u on the right path.
Animal meal producer exist already.They woild no go collect seaweeds,get them dried and then vonverted into anomal meals.Hence,zhe collecting and drird could be done by the already collrting gang of workers,dried then pacted in bags,send over to Mahe ,at the animal feed factory to then beconverted into animal feeds.There is a lot og posibility of creating many small and medium businesses,related to the use of seaweeds,,from cosmrzic profuction,fertilizer,animal feeds,but in future producting the most lucrative seaweed product medications from cancer,biabet,and many more,for this it must be a national project and seychelloiscwill need to be trained in this field before we can even start thinking of producing medications.
The two pictures above say it all. What government will opt for the seaweed picture?
Dr Rupert,maybe u should keep taxes money create by Praslinois on Praslin,for development of Praslin by Praslinois instead of monopolists.
