Akwaaba Feeds

Insect protein feed in a circular economy

Akwaaba

The following SDG impact is applicable to Akwaaba Feeds:

Akwaaba Feeds is a leading Ghanaian manufacturer specializing in high-quality, affordable feed products for the poultry and pig production industries. Established to promote sustainable agriculture, the company operates a state-of-the-art automated milling plant that ensures consistent quality and nutritional value. Akwaaba Feeds is distinguished by its commitment to circular economy practices, specifically through its innovative use of “maggot meal”—insect protein derived from black soldier flies—as a sustainable alternative to traditional, often scarce, protein sources in animal feed.

The company’s impact extends through the entire agricultural value chain, from reducing waste to enhancing farmer profitability. By combining feed production waste with food waste to farm insect protein and subsequently turning that waste into organic compost for crop farming, Akwaaba Feeds has created a closed-loop system that bolsters environmental resilience.
