Rwanda has launched standards for the edible insects’ sector following the establishment of the country’s first commercial insect-based animal feed plant, as it nurtures ambition of raising its regional competitiveness in the livestock sector.
The insect-farming commercial plant will be housed by Safe for Health Ltd, a subsidiary of Agri-Business Solution Ltd, a major chicken breeding and animal feed factory. Initially, the facility will focus on rearing black soldier fly, an insect that has been chosen for its proven versatility.
