A community service report from Universitas Panca Marga notes that 15 members of a farmer group trained in processing shallot skin waste.

Sumberkledung Village, Tegalsiwalan District. The onion skins left over after post-harvest handling became the material for a training programme for members of a farmer group. The report by the Universitas Panca Marga team states that 15 farmers took part in training to make organic fertiliser in powder and liquid form.

The activity covered production practice, business mentoring and evaluation. The authors report that all participants were able to make the product independently after the training, while some began trying it in the field. The article does not yet prove an increase in harvest yields due to the fertiliser; what is documented is the participants' skills and the prototypes produced.
