AgriProtein - Company Profile

AgriProtein is a pioneering company in the nutrient upcycling industry, harnessing the natural capabilities of the black soldier fly to create sustainable protein and valuable products from organic waste. Established in 2008, the company has been dedicated to closing the loop in food production by utilizing technology to convert organic waste from various sources into essential products. AgriProtein's innovative bioconversion process has led to the production of MagMeal™ (an insect-based complete protein), MagOil™ (a versatile, natural oil), and MagSoil™ (a rich residual soil conditioner). In 2016, AgriProtein marked a significant milestone by launching the world's first industrial-scale insect facility in Cape Town, South Africa, capable of diverting 100 tonnes of organic waste from landfill daily while producing over 2,000 tonnes of MagMeal™ annually. The company has attracted substantial investment, with the last $105.00M Venture Round investment coming in at 04 June 2018. As a subsidiary of the Insect Technology Group, AgriProtein operates at the intersection of Agriculture, Biotechnology, and Food and Beverage industries. With its innovative approach and sustainable business model, AgriProtein is poised for continued growth and impact in the global market.
