Easy Environmental Solutions Begins Manufacturing EasyFEN™ Units for Africa Following Initial Down Payment
EasyFEN units produce organic Terreplenish liquid microbial fertilizer, transforming waste into a feed that supports over 16 million people in Africa.
Terreplenish liquid microbial fertilizer enhances soil health, increases crop yields, and reduces irrigation needs by up to 20%.
WELCOME, Minn., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Utilities Ventures, Inc. (OTC: DUTV), now doing business as Easy Environmental Solutions Inc., is pleased to announce that the client sent the initial deposit and agreed to the $3.4 million modular EasyFEN order for Africa.

This milestone follows months of coordinated effort by the purchasing group to establish operations in Africa, ultimately securing their place in the production queue and signaling readiness to execute throughout the continent.
'This down payment is not just a firm commitment of a buyer to a seller to proceed with manufacturing and delivery, but even more so a significant first step in eliminating starvation for all of Africa,' said Mark Gaalswyk, CEO of Easy Environmental Solutions. 'Once deployed, the unit will transform local waste into Terreplenish—a powerful, organic microbial fertilizer that replaces expensive chemical imports and rebuilds soil from the ground up. It's a scalable model for self-sufficiency, and we plan to replicate this approach in multiple African countries.'
The reason for this is that each single EasyFEN will produce enough fully organic Terreplenish liquid microbial fertilizer to fertilize over 1 million acres of African farmland. University studies indicate this number of properly fertilized acres is enough to feed over 16 million people! The EasyFEN will do so by utilizing the plant juices of locally derived green biomass and mixing it with the company's proprietary Terreplenish 'seed microbial inoculant' to then 'grow' the fully organic fertilizer in remote local African villages. This eliminates both the greenhouse gas emissions and the added expense from alternatively freighted conventional expensive chemical fertilizers from distant lands. Studies have shown an up to 2/3 cost reduction. Additionally, studies have shown that the Terreplenish will reduce the amount of rainfall or irrigation needed by up to 20%, thereby also providing a possible solution to the continent's drought-induced famines.
Meanwhile, each EasyFEN unit running at 100% capacity will generate approximately $19 million dollars in recurring inoculant and technology revenue each year for Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc., delivering both measurable agricultural benefits and strong financial returns.
Each EasyFEN™ unit is fully automated and designed to process up to 17,000 tons of organic waste annually—including food scraps, crop residue, and green biomass—into more than 2 million gallons of Terreplenish. Terreplenish is a 100% organic microbial fertilizer, backed by over 100 independent studies and more than a decade of field use. With just two gallons, it naturally delivers 45–60 pounds of nitrogen and 15–20 pounds of phosphorus per acre—improving soil health, increasing crop yields, and reducing irrigation or rainfall needs by up to 20%. It also functions as a natural bio-fungicide, supporting long-term soil resilience and sustainability across a wide range of crops and climates.

'With worsening drought, rising crop prices, and over 20% of Africa's population facing hunger, this system couldn't come at a more critical time,' added Bakry Osman, Director of Africa Operations. 'This is just the beginning. We're building systems that deliver food, hope, and resilience—unit by unit.'

With over 300 million hectares of arable land under pressure from climate change, depleted soil, and rising fertilizer costs, Africa urgently needs scalable, local solutions. A single EasyFEN unit can produce enough Terreplenish to treat more than 400,000 hectares annually.
'EasyFEN units aren't just machines—they're strategic weapons in the fight against hunger,' said Nate Carpenter, President of Feed the Famished, a subsidiary of Easy Environmental Solutions. 'Each gallon of Terreplenish restores dignity, fuels self-reliance, and chips away at the root causes of food insecurity. This isn't a short-term fix—it's a scalable, long-term solution that's designed to disrupt the status quo.'
Easy Environmental Solutions has already delivered Terreplenish samples to the Congo and Somalia, with results exceeding expectations. These early trials have driven demand and opened new doors for expansion. The EasyFEN unit is expected to be completed and shipped to Northern Africa within 90 days.

Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu eyes new markets, smaller trade delegations
Ottawa's new trade minister says he's looking to sign deals in South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and beyond — and to convince businesses to actually use the trade agreements Canada has already signed. "My primary role as Canada's top salesman is to be out there hustling, opening doors for businesses and accessing new markets," Maninder Sidhu told The Canadian Press. "My phone has been ringing with opportunities because people want to deal with reliable, stable trading partners." Prime Minister Mark Carney has tasked Dominic LeBlanc as the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade. Sidhu's job focuses on countries other than the U.S. Export Development Canada says Ottawa has 15 free trade agreements covering 51 countries, offering Canadian exporters preferential access to over 1.5 billion consumers. WATCH | Trump increases tariff on Canada to 35%, White House says: Trump increases tariff on Canada to 35%, White House says 3 days ago U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order increasing tariffs on Canadian goods that don't meet the terms of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement to 35 per cent. But Sidhu said Canadian businesses could be doing a lot more to look beyond the U.S., particularly as Washington threatens and imposes a range of tariffs. Four years within Global Affairs Canada Sidhu served four years as a parliamentary secretary in roles reflecting all three branches of Global Affairs Canada: aid, trade and diplomacy. The job saw him represent Canada in trade promotion events in Southeast Asia and security forums in the Caribbean. Before politics, he worked as a customs broker, a job that focuses on navigating red tape and tariffs to secure the best rate for trading goods. Sidhu said he plans to visit Brazil soon as the South American country seeks to revive trade talks that kicked off in 2018 between the Mercosur trade bloc and Canada. Smaller trade delegations His predecessor Mary Ng emphasized large trade missions that took months to plan. The minister would sometimes fill a plane with corporate and business leaders, spending a substantial chunk of time in one or two countries. Sidhu said he is hoping to bring smaller delegations of companies with him on his trips abroad, with a focus on specific sectors, "whether it's South America, Indo-Pacific to Europe, to Africa." "Businesses feel like they're heard, but they're also getting higher-level meetings on the opposite side in the countries that we take them into," he said. Ottawa is navigating its trade ties with China as the two countries work to revive the decades-old Joint Economic and Trade Commission, a forum to sort out trade irritants. China has been roundly accused of engaging in coercive trade practices and of restricting certain commodities or services like tourism during political disagreements with Ottawa. Sidhu said the goal there is to offer "stability" to industry, with an emphasis on "how do we work through those challenges, and how do we make sure that those conversations are facilitated." Sidhu also downplayed the chances of a bilateral trade deal with the United Kingdom. Trade talks collapsed last year over the U.K.'s desire to sell more cheese in Canada and after Britain blocked Canadian hormone-treated beef. Both countries are using a temporary deal put in place after Britain left the European Union, and the U.K. will soon enter a trade bloc that focuses on the Pacific Rim, Sidhu noted. He said Canada would still be open to a full deal. "If U.K. and Canadian businesses already have access on 99 per cent of the items that we trade, then if we're looking at trade agreements, we need to make sure that we're getting the best value for our negotiations," Sidhu said. He also said Canada could consider "sector-specific agreements" with other countries, instead of comprehensive deals that span most industries. "We are getting very creative in how we can open up more doors." Canada-India trade Sidhu did not name specific countries with which Canada might pursue sector-specific agreements. Canada had been looking at a trade agreement with India that would be limited to certain sectors — before Ottawa suspended talks in 2023 following an assassination the RCMP has linked to New Delhi. Ottawa launched security talks with India this spring and agreed to re-establish high commissioners. Sidhu was circumspect when asked when Canada might re-establish trade talks with India. "This is a step-by-step approach," he said, adding that the eventual return of top envoys will help "to carry out those very important conversations." Sidhu said Global Affairs Canada is still sorting out how Carney's decision to cut spending in all departments will affect the trade branch. "It's really going to be a focused approach of where we can make the best impact," Sidhu said. The Business Council of Canada has urged Ottawa to expand the number of trade commissioners, who provide the contacts on the ground for Canadian companies looking for export opportunities. While Sidhu did not say whether Ottawa's cuts will mean fewer trade commissioners, he said he's heard a clear message from chambers of commerce that these positions are extremely valuable. "It comes down to return on investments, what programs are working [and] where can we get the best bang for our buck for Canadian industry and Canadian workers," he said.
