WE MAKE AFRICA FOOD SECURE, WITH THE HELP OF INSECTS

By making insect products the new standard we are able to:

Create future proof food and value chains.

Provide affordable alternative protein sources for everyone.

Upscale waste and improve the use of nutrients available on the planet.

Reduce carbon footprint by offering more sustainable solutions.

HOW IT STARTED

PROTEIN GAP

InsectiPro started its journey at the end of 2018. The founder (Talash Huijbers) comes from an agricultural family and as a newly graduate she was planning on farming fish in her home country Kenya. As it was promoted as the next frontier in the protein industry. While doing research she quickly found out the problems that the animal feed industry is facing in Kenya. Instead of joining the problem she decided to solve the problem for others.

This research led to insects which led to the start of InsectiPro. InsectiPro now believes that insects are the missing piece in our food and value chains. Together with her team she is dedicated to improve the current food industry where inclusivity and insect products are the main drivers.

Why Insects?

Where most people try to get rid of insects, We farm them on a Large Scale

They are a sole food source for many animals (livestock such as poultry, pigs, and fish) and are also harvested for human consumption all over the world (Globally, there are about 1900 edible insect species with 552 of these consumed in Africa).

WE ARE IMPACT FOCUSED

By making insect products the new standard, the team together with our supporting partners
have been able to reach out to communities and beyond

As at 2023 we achieved...

Tonnes of Waste Recycled

Tonnes of Carbon Offset

Chicken that can be fed on insect based feed.

Acres that can be covered with fertigro fertilizer

Farmers trained on our products of which 49% are women.

BY IMPLEMENTING INSECTS WE CAN TACKLE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES AT ONCE.
