• The Nueva Vizcaya State University is a historical

metamorphosis of two colleges merged to form a

stronger academic alliance in Cagayan Valley. It has two

campuses formerly known as the Nueva Vizcaya State

Institute of Technology (NVSIT) now Bayombong

Campus and Nueva Vizcaya State Polytechnic College

(NVSPC), now Bambang Campus.

• July 16, 2006, vermicomposting technology was

initially established in the NVSU-College of

Forestry in collaboration with the Center for

Environmental Resources Management &

Sustainable Development (CERMSD) purposely

for research, instruction and production of

vermicompost to support fertilizer requirement of

established in-campus demo projects of the

university

• Established as a small-scale project with two (2)

kilos of African Night Crawler and four (4)

concreted compost bins (1m x 5m) was managed by

a senior forestry student.

• Because of the vermicompost project it paved

him the way to Germany as Environmental Envoy

sponsored by Bayer Philippines.

• In April 2007 a Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the

NVSU and the Philippine Council for Aquatic & Marine Research &

Development (PCAMRD) with funding assistance of PhP 1 M from the

KR2 program of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA).

Progressively, the project was managed by the Center of the

University until it became the Regional Vermicompost and Vermimeal

Production Center (RVVPC)RVVPC)RVVPC)RVVPC) for Region 02.

• The project has expanded meeting the requirements of the Memorandum of Agreement.

• Established at the old forest nursery site of the main campus with an area of 23m x 63m (1449 m2).

PRODUCTION and PACKAGING PRODUCTION and PACKAGING PRODUCTION and PACKAGING PRODUCTION and PACKAGING

• Production of vermicompost had remarkably

increased after the project was assisted by

PCAMRD.

• To date, production has increased to an average of

1511 kilos (1.5 tons) of vermicompost per harvest

• Processing and packaging are done in the former

sericulture building with floor area of 192 m2.

This is where harvested vermicompost are stocked

for sale.
