EFSA’s panel of experts has examined the maize thoroughly and found no risks when used as intended in food and feed products.

Loopworm processes 6,000 tonnes of insects annually, producing protein and oil for animal feed and aquaculture.

A lot of the pollution that comes from burning occurs in neighbouring countries, where corn is grown for export to Thailand.

Feedworks has partnered with Framex, a Chihuahua-based company, which will serve as the exclusive distributor of Feedworks Lytes in the region.

This achievement joins a growing list of ASC-certified BioMar sites, including facilities in Chile, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Norway, and the U.K.

De Heus already operates a poultry feed factory in Attinguié, near Abidjan, which opened in 2023 with an annual capacity of 120,000 tons.

This initiative is part of the larger five-year Meliteji-WASU project (2024-2029), funded by the Mastercard Foundation.

The new venture will leverage the companies’ complementary strengths, combining financial strength with technical innovation.
