**5.2 How produce native AMF bio-fertilizer unit?**

Production of native AMF bio-fertilizers unit require appropriate funding with adoption of a good financing strategy, based on various technical-economic parameters including description of the income elements and those of the expenses (**Table 3**). Indeed, the elements of income include the sale of bio-fertilizers, remunerations, publicity and assurance. **Table 4** describes all the expenses and revenues provided by the bio-fertilizer production unit.

## **5.3 Economical challenge of native AMF bio-fertilizer production?**

Production of native AMF production is an agro-industrial investment for each arid region, in some case the product may be exported to similar edapho-climatic areas. Designed production and marketing chain must support each unit in order to guarantee the success of the project. In **Table 4** we have tried to establish an approximate economic study which will allow the investors to have an idea on the economic situation of the project, but these figures may vary from one country

Arid land has specific ecological characteristics that confer them special management strategies. As same the different soil throughout the world, soil of arid land present a diversity of AMF that may be exploited to enhance agriculture in these areas. For that in the present chapter we have exposed the most important technic of AMF bio-fertilizer production based on native AMF strains. Founded on what has been explained, recommending the use of conventional pot culture technic present the adequate method adapted for arid lands. We have also given an approximate economical evaluation for coast of building and installing native AMF production unit in arid lands. The conventional method includes optimization of scale of production while using the adequate trap plant, law-coast and environmentally safe. With this technology, the preservation of environment from chemical
