The Flying Food Partnership facilitates the crickets business for human consumption in Africa. By implementing an inclusive value chain on crickets we create:
- access to affordable healthy food for all
- an innovative, profitable line of business
- entrepreneurship and local jobs
- climate smart alternative for traditional livestock.
Our mission is
to make crickets a mainstream food product by establishing the rearing, processing and consuming of crickets successfully in 10 African countries.
We are looking for partners
- African entrepreneurs who are willing to be part in the insect business;
- Consumers, food processors and retailers who are interested to buy fresh or dried crickets, or cricket powder;
- Medium farmers: have to invest approximately € 40.000 to establish a medium farm of 70 m2 and set up an out grower network with 100 smallholder cricket farmers. With a team of 6 people you deliver 63 million eggs and 3,400 kg of fresh crickets annually. Pay-back period is 2-3 years, with net result of 192.000 euro annually when fully operational;
- Impact investors: who can support the mission of the Flying Food partnership by providing loans to the entrepreneurs and grants to the trainers for knowledge transfer.
