About us

In 1901, the German scientist L. Lauterborn introduced the term sapropel for lake and river silt. The use of lake and river silt dates back to ancient times. It was in the valleys of the large rivers Nile, Tigris and Euphrates, which enriched the land with fertile silt during their powerful floods, that the first agricultural civilizations emerged. Using this silt, the population obtained enviable yields even by modern standards. The yield of wheat with three harvests per year was 100 “sam”. That is, taking into account three collections per year, the harvested volume of wheat exceeded the originally sown one hundred times.

SIA “Eco Tech Soils” is the young Latvian company whose main activity is extraction of lake sapropel and production of products based on it. Our products ensure high yields in horticulture, as well as the cultivation of organic agricultural products both in open and closed ground. It is used in landscaping and golf course design. The use of our products reduces the need for irrigation water by at least half. Sapropel is also used as a feed additive in the production of animal feed, as well as in cosmetology and balneology.
