A process for producing a processed organic product containing organic matters superior in the nutrient balance and exhibiting high performances in retention of water and in permeation of gas using an apparatus for effecting the process, in which fibrous organic substance contained in the raw material can be loosened and be subjected to axial splitting and breaking down into short fragments, permitting thus to supply the apparatus with raw materials containing longer fibrous organic substance, such as plant bodies, directly as such, for realizing a biological or biochemical reaction while eliminating injurious microbes. The process comprises supplying the raw material 26 containing organic fibrous substance to a reactor 1 provided therein with a plurality of main screws 6, 7 arranged side by side so as to confront the peripheral edges of the screw threads of neighboring screws with each other and to act each to forward the reaction mixture in substantially the same direction at a velocity different from each other, effecting a biological or biochemical reaction therein while subjecting the organic fibrous substance to axial splitting and breaking by the main screws 6, 7 and taking out processed organic product via a processed product exit port 31, which is dewatered in a dewatering means 35 before being dried in a dryer 38 to obtain the processed product in a dried solid form.
