Since its inception in 2021, La Compagnie des Insectes has been actively involved in organic material valorization. Our firm's journey enriched by the acquisition of NextAlim's insect breeding technology in May 2022 and Protifly's rearing technology in July 2023 places us at the forefront of the insect farming industry.
These strategic moves enhance our ability to meet the evolving demands in food production and project collaboration.

To ensure the profitability of our bioconversion system, it's ideal to process at least 20,000 tonnes of raw organic material per year (targeting about 30% dry matter).
We specialize in the Black Soldier Fly, a species central to our bioconversion processes due to its short life cycle (average 45 days for a complete cycle) and its efficient organic matter conversion ability.
Our system is capable of treating a wide range of organic materials. Click hereto find out more.
For black soldier fly larva rearing, a minimum building area of 1500m2 is recommended, while our standard projects typically occupy buildings around 2500m².
Farming black soldier flies contributes to a circular economy by transforming organic matter into high quality proteins. It offers a sustainable alternative to traditional proteins like fish meal and soybean meal, and meets growing dietary needs. In addition, it reduces the environmental impact by limiting waste and promoting more responsible agriculture.
The minimum investment for setting up a farm varies based on several factors, such as existing infrastructure, location, and raw material availability. We recommend contacting us for a detailed, tailored assessment.
Not at all! At La Compagnie des Insectes, we make things easier for our partners. We not only assist in establishing and fine-tuning insect farms, but also actively seek markets for all produced goods, removing the burden of finding buyers. Our aim is to let our partners focus on farming, while we handle everything else.
Farming insects with La Compagnie des Insectes is designed to be accessible, even for those who do not have prior technical or agricultural knowledge. We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support to effectively manage farms. Our automated technologies greatly facilitate the process, allowing you to focus on the practical side without worrying about technical complexities.
