The sector needs to scale efficiently
The insect farming industry faces low production capacity due to a lack of standardization and an excess of manual processes, which hinders access to financing.
This situation is further aggravated by the operational disconnect between the incubation, rearing, and processing phases, fragmenting a value chain that requires integration to remain competitive.
