Value proposition

Harnessing the power of insects and technology to produce valuable, sustainable products using existing organic waste.

AgriProtein is leading a new industry called nutrient upcycling.

Our mission is to close the loop in food production. We use our technology to leverage the natural capabilities of the black soldier fly; feeding its larvae existing organic waste to create a sustainable, natural protein for pets, livestock and fish.

Our industrial-scale bioconversion process takes organic waste streams from food factories, supermarkets, farms and restaurants, and recycles these into valuable products including: an insect based complete protein (MagMealTM), a versatile, natural oil (MagOilTM) and a rich residual soil conditioner (MagSoilTM).

AgriProtein has been developing its technology since 2008. In 2016, we opened the world’s first industrial scale insect facility in Cape Town, South Africa with the capacity to divert 100 tonnes of organic waste from landfill per day and produce over 2,000 tonnes of MagMealTM per year.

AgriProtein is a subsidiary of the Insect Technology Group.
