Key Takeaways
- Nasekomo reports achieving ~25 grams of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) eggs per cubic meter per day across its reproduction enclosures.
- The milestone positions the company’s system as deployment-ready for mid- to large-scale insect farming customers.
- Results stem from advances in biology, genetics, and industrial process design through its Multiplication Center “MultiFly.”
- This marks the second major achievement of 2025, following earlier benchmarks in its automated vertical rearing platform.
- Nasekomo is now commercializing its BSF reproduction technology and offering secured egg-supply volumes to customers.
Nasekomo: Industrial Benchmark in Reproduction
Nasekomo, a Sofia-based insect biotech company founded by French entrepreneurs, announced it has achieved sustained daily production of ~25 grams of BSF eggs per cubic meter in its industrial operation. The measurement is based on the effective volume of reproduction enclosures under routine conditions and is presented as a standardized efficiency metric.
“This is a daily operating level reflecting a mature, production-grade setup operating at scale,” said Marc Bolard, co-founder and CEO of Nasekomo and board member of the International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed (IPIFF).
The company attributes the results to its Multiplication Center “MultiFly,” which serves as its genetics and breeding nucleus. MultiFly supplies elite insect lines and ensures consistent delivery of high-performance neonates to both internal operations and external partners.
Drivers of Performance
Nasekomo identified three factors behind its achievement:
- Long-term biology and protocol development.
- Genetic gains via its FlyGenetics program.
- Industrial process design and environmental control.
“Reproduction is the heart of insect farming. Achieving this level of consistency and yield unlocks predictable egg supply for partners scaling bioconversion,” Bolard said. “This is a benchmark that shows what’s possible when cutting-edge technologies meet deep biological know-how, supported by a relentless focus on science and industrialisation.”
Bartosz Grodzki, manager of the Reproduction Unit in Nasekomo’s Center of Excellence, added: “Our three pillars—biology expertise, genetic gains through our Fly Genetics program, and industrial process mastery, from mating stimulation protocols to love-cage design optimization, backed by our R&D team, have led us to this industrial result.”
Building on Earlier Achievements
This is the company’s second key milestone in 2025. Earlier, Nasekomo reported that its automated vertical rearing platform, Automated Insect Rearing Beds and Bots, achieved a 25% feed conversion ratio (FCR), one-third higher than traditional crate-based systems.
Commercialization and Market Outlook For Nasekomo
Nasekomo has begun commercializing its BSF reproduction technology for mid- and large-scale operators. The offering includes turnkey solutions integrating genetics, breeding, suspension, and industrial applications. The company also provides secured egg-supply volumes at both pilot and industrial scales.
“Nasekomo technologies and solutions deliver consistency, quality, and scalability. This enables the rapid roll-out of profitable bioconversion plants,” Bolard said.
The Multiplication Center was supported by a €2.5 million grant under the EU’s Seal of Excellence and Bulgaria’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan. With this backing, Nasekomo is in active discussions with potential customers across Europe and the Americas.
