About Us

The Compost Production Implementation Team (CPIT), under the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM), serves as the lead team in the implementation of the compost production through composting facilities, Composting Facility for Biodegradable Wastes (CFBW) and Small-Scale Composting Facility (SSCF).
