Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OTC: EZES) is experiencing a surge in growth during the first quarter of 2026, driven by international success in Africa and Central America and a global nitrogen shortage that has farmers seeking alternatives. The company's flagship product, Terreplenish®—a certified organic microbial solution with live active microbes—is at the center of this expansion, with multiple key deployments scheduled and new trials underway across three continents.
According to the company, the turmoil in the Middle East has led to a shortage of chemical nitrogen and escalating prices, just as farmers prepare for spring planting. "We are prepared to meet farmer's needs," said Mark Gaalswyk, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "We have the production capabilities, the distribution network, and a competitive pricing structure that will offset the price surge of anhydrous ammonia and urea." EZES currently operates Terreplenish production facilities in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Florida, ensuring year-round access to food waste used in production. Additionally, a series of Easy FEN™ units are being manufactured at the company's Mankato, MN factory, with the first scheduled for deployment to Africa this spring. Each unit can produce over 2 million gallons per year of liquid Terreplenish using local organic waste streams, reducing costs while improving soil fertility and crop resilience.
Field trials have been a key driver of Terreplenish's surge. Completed trials in Ghana, Egypt, and the Congo have resulted in substantial yield increases for multiple plant varieties. In Central America, the focus has been on flowers, shrubs, and turf as part of city beautification projects in Panama. North American trials from Mexico to Florida have also shown positive results. This spring, test protocols have been developed for dozens of additional crops, including corn and wheat, as well as fruits and garden vegetables. Back in the U.S., EZES will continue its ash tree trials, having treated over 1,000 trees last summer with dramatic results. The goal is to treat over 10,000 trees in the upper Midwest this spring to combat the ash borer infestation.
To bring Terreplenish to customers, EZES has initiated an aggressive campaign through trade shows and new distributor partnerships. After being named a preferred partner for Mid States Distribution, the company attended Rendezvous 2026, engaging with over 800 retail store outlets. Concurrently, EZES attended the Golf Course Association conference in Orlando, meeting over 2,000 golf course directors. The company also participated in the U.S. Composting Council's annual conference, engaging with over 1,000 attendees, and gained exposure at the World Ag Expo in California, which attracted over 100,000 people from 70 countries. "These conferences provide a unique venue for personal interaction," said Bill Bliler, Director of Business Development.
EZES also announced that it has elected not to proceed with a potential merger with Lifestyle Dock, after a comprehensive analysis determined that the proposed structure did not fully align with its long-term vision. Instead, the two organizations are developing an OEM supplier relationship. "Our responsibility is to make decisions that best support the future of the company," per the EZES Management Team.
