Black Soldier Fly farming, Mozambique
FOOD SECURITY THROUGH INSECT FARMING
Your sustainable solution for alternative protein, waste management, and organic fertilizer.
About Us
Our Mission: is to address critical challenges related to food security, waste management, and sustainable agriculture,
through Black Soldier Fly (BSFL) protein meal. We are committed to managing waste effectively and supplying high-quality organic fertilizer as a by-product of the BSF process, to support a greener future.
We currently have a small scale BSF larvae production facility in Maputo and in Inhambane. What we produce is currently used for our own poultry layers in Inhambane.
After 2 years of developing our process we have registered significant benefits both in cost savings and animal health, and with the layers , an improved production rate of eggs.
In Mozambique the highest input cost in the production of poultry is the feed, as most of it is imported especially the protein component. We have introduced the Rhode Island Red breed into the country and are currently breeding them in Inhambane. This breed ,we have found to be very hardy and suited to our climactic conditions , less affected by the heat and we find our free range layers, with feed supplemented by BSF protein, give a 60-70% yield, this can continue for at least 3 years. Our aim is to introduce this breed to the small-scale farmers both as layers and broilers.
Our aim is to change the local thinking on poultry farming, making it more cost effective and competitive with cheaper imported poultry, at the same time assisting small-scale farming to be more sustainable and profitable.
In this way we will be helping small scale farmers and large-scale feed producers and contributing to food security in the country.
As a secondary, but equally important, goal;the fertilizer we produce from the larvae is organic , beneficial to soil health and contains no nitrates or phosphates, again this will help in food security and sustainable farming, reduces the risk of soil erosion,degradation and pollution.
services and outcomes
Feed
We harness the power of Black Soldier Fly Larvae to transform organic waste into a valuable protein-rich, cost effective feed supplement . We will empower small scale farmers through learning workshops to repurpose their waste to produce cost effective feed for their livestock. Assist and coach local communities in rearing our breed of layers , supply them with locally bred Rhode Island Red layers, which are hardy and suited tour climatic conditions. Reduce their production costs through the use of BSF protein supplement in the feed.
Sustainable Farming
Train local farmers, particularly women, in the use of our products. Waste from the BSF process will produce a premium organic fertilizer, contributing to improved soil conditions and crop yields, thus helping to Mitigate the risks from extreme climate conditions which seem to be occurring more frequently.
Waste Management
Some of the worlds biggest landfills are in Africa and is growing every year, BSF can breakdown this waste into protein and organic fertilizer
Impact
Environmentally fiendly: BSFL farming has a positive impact on the environment, from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to improving soil health.
Continued misuse of land through the use of synthetic fertilizer is leading to the degradation of soil and contamination of water sources which end up in our oceans , resulting in the degradation of coral reefs and diminishing fish stocks, seriously impacting the most vulnerable communities in our country.
Social responsibility.
Training local women in rearing hens for eggs, donating the initial parent stock and hold further workshops on raising BSF larvae to use as a supplement in their chicken feed.
