Sustainable feed for the agriculture of the future – protein-rich feed made from black soldier fly larvae at Öregtögy Farm

The birth of a new type of protein source

With the technology purchased from Grinsec Kft., the plant was established by Hanson Sophie, a private entrepreneur, and was built with EU support. The goal: to produce feed that is ideal for poultry, pigs and fish with its high protein and fat content, and provides a sustainable alternative to soy.

The larvae of the black soldier fly are an excellent source of nutrients while quickly breaking down organic waste. A full production cycle takes just 21 days, during which 200 kg of larvae can be produced, and the resulting 150 kg of organic by-products can be recycled as compost.

Circular economy and reduced ecological footprint

BSF larvae efficiently convert food industry by-products and agricultural waste into high biological value protein. This solution brings tangible benefits:

• reducing the ecological burden of soy import and cultivation,
• mitigating CO₂ emissions,
• helping to preserve rainforests,

and recycling part of the million tons of food waste generated annually.
