A complete 2,300 square-meter mealworm production facility has been announced. The project was started in the Netherlands with a farmer who has been working on the concept of producing yellow mealworm in an old pig farm and this new phase will be supported by Bühler.

“With this project we will set the bar on modularised mealworm production in an automated and hygienic way,” says Andreas Aepli, CEO Bühler Insect Technology Solutions. “Our technological solutions can be readily integrated into existing farms, but larger-scale facilities can also be realised.
