Next Stop in Black Soldier Fly Production- Ecuador!

7/27/2018

This week I have had the opportunity to visit a BSF facility in Ecuador. There are a number of aspects with this facility that I am impressed with ranging from the location (awesome climate year around) to the resources available (various organic waste streams, large aquaculture industry).

Some of the highlights include:
1- Amazing opportunity for sustainable agriculture with a link to BSF
2-Resources of organic waste that can be used for BSF production
3-Community commitment to sustainable agriculture
4-Market for product produced
5-Climate! Climate! Climate! Temperature is amazing.. humidity is perfect.... light:dark cycle cannot be any better.

I am working to introduce industry from Ecuador to researchers at Texas A&M (TAMU) with the hopes of linking them to further develop the BSF, while enhancing TAMU network there.

Here are some photos of my work with BSF in Ecuador along with some of the sites. I hope you enjoy!

I'm a former Texan who now lives in northern Ecuador and am interested in learning more about this facility. Could you share the name, location and contact info? Thanks.

I’m interested in learning more. I live in Puéllaro Ecuador, one of the major poultry producing areas of Pichincha Province. Incorporating black soldier fly larva into the feed used here would be beneficial. I’d like to establish a sample feed system on my property to demonstrate to the local farmers the benefits.
