Partnership

The project is backed by France 2030 under Bpifrance’s I-Démo scheme.

The agreement is effective from March 2026, with automatic renewal provisions.

Brazil produces around 30 million tonnes of meat annually, driving feed demand of approximately 85-90 million tonnes.

If scaled successfully, single-cell proteins like Uniprotein could begin to compete with traditional feed inputs such as soybean meal and fishmeal.

The new feed plants aim to improve input availability and support the growth of a sector that has long struggled with high costs and limited infrastructure.

These upgrades are expected to improve production speed, supply reliability and the development of locally adapted solutions for industries such as animal nutrition

The initiative is already operating in countries including Mauritania, Senegal, Ecuador, Guatemala and Panama.

The goal is to develop microbial solutions that can optimise insect growth and productivity.

The initiative is expected to benefit approximately 1.43 million individuals nationwide, with at least 30% of participants being women.

The project will generate significant employment opportunities, reduce farmer-herder conflicts, and increase access to nutrient-rich feed.
