Hope farmer groups located in the Ledokombo area, precisely in Slateng Village, have a group of 25-30 members with an area of 15-30 hectares. The potential for waste generated from each crop commodity in farmer groups is expected to be abundant after each harvest and most of it is not utilized properly and is sometimes spread by the side of the road.
