EnviroFlight’s insect-based approach offers significant potential to convert nutrients from abundant food surpluses and renewable energy co-products into valuable proteins, oils and fertilizers. Within the fish and poultry markets, BSF larvae also represent a more typical diet for these natural insectivores as compared to soy and other plant-based meals, making them an ideal candidate for nutritive feed ingredients.
Construction of the new plant will begin in May, supporting development of sustainable high-nutrition BSF ingredients for the global animal feed industry. Initial production capacity is expected in the first quarter of 2018, and will be targeted toward supplying livestock, aquaculture, and pet food markets.
