Lampung Province has the potential as a producer of mineral fertilizers. The availability of mineral and rock resources in the area has the potential to be processed into mineral fertilizers. Rocks and minerals have been shown to increase productivity and maintain fertility of agricultural land. Rocks and minerals such as zeolite, basalt, pumice, limestone, phosphate and pearlite, its availability in Lampung Province makes it possible to become an agro-mineral industry raw material. For this reason, there is a need for good cooperation between related agencies to create processing of rocks and minerals into effective, efficient mineral as fertilizers.
