Douala, Cameroon — 2026

Our team, our greenhouse, the starting point of a better food system.

Our Story

Nature is our greatest source of innovation.

Our name comes from Hermetia illucens — the Black Soldier Fly.

We took that natural nutrient-conversion process and built a production platform that creates premium proteins, oils, and organic fertilizers for agriculture.

By converting organic waste streams into valuable nutrients, we help feed producers and farmers lower costs, improve performance, and reduce their environmental footprint.

What we believe

The future of agriculture starts with better ingredients.

Quality

Consistent, high-performance ingredients tested for animal feed and agriculture.

Science

From insect biology to controlled production — refined through research and data.

Responsibility

Turning organic waste into nutrients, reducing pressure on land and water.

Partnership

Working with farmers, feed producers, and distributors to scale together.

Standards

Built on quality.

  • HACCP
  • ISO 22000
  • GMP+
  • EU Insect Producers Assoc.

We are building toward HACCP, ISO 22000, GMP+ and EU Insect Producers Association standards as production scales.

We're just getting started.

From our production base in Douala, Cameroon, we are scaling to supply feed producers and farmers with insect-based protein and fertilizer that perform better and cost less — across the continent and beyond.

Let's grow together.
